WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
Hi All,
I'd like to welcome the large number of new members to PomsInoz.com over the past few months, and would like to take this opportunity to remind all members of the forum rules.
We've seen a number of members over the last few months using the forum in what I believe to be an improper manner, often with a confrontational or as an inappropriate medium to offer their services and goods.
As a community we have a great opportunity to share all aspects of the experience of migrating to and living in Australia.
The rules should be common sense however I would urge you to familiarise yourself with them to ensure you do not get penalised.

Strong language and vulgarity are prohibited. Use a similar standard of language to what you might hear on major network TV, on the radio, or in any other public forum.

Hi
Thanks, I really appreciated reading that. I'm a newbie and really nervous about the whole process. I wouldn't want to upset anyone or ask inappropriate questions. I don't mind being steered in the right direction and would appreciate all the support and help I could get. There is nothing wrong with re-iterating the rules, just keeps everyone right.
