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.
I am new to this site but have found it really helpful already.
My husband submitted his TRA with a day to spare before the 1st July changes. Haven't heard if it has passed yet. We are trying the independent skilled visa 136. My oh is a carpenter/joiner and I work for the NHS -secretarial/audiotypist etc. We have two kids 12 and 14 and are hoping to go to Perth (have relatives there) or Brisbane. We have been to Australia twice once 17 years ago for the usual working visa and with the kids four years ago for 4 weeks. We have talked about taking the big step for years and have decided to go for it now. Bit nervous about the jobs and if the wages will be okay - at moment oh is self employed here and busy but Australia is where we want to be. Any opinions on where might be better for our circumstances - teenagers, jobs and house prices.
Thanks.
Caroline
Welcome to PIO sorry cannot help with your questions really, we are heading to Perth hopefully at the end of the year. My OH is a chippie and has been told by a couple of friends out there that there is plenty of work for him. I think wages will depend on what he will do when he gets there but I think you can earn what you earn here. We have never even been to Australia so you will know more than me.

HI
Caroline and family sorry i cant also help with any questions at the mo, but welcome to PIO. Im sure all the members on here can help you out with any questions you may have.
Hi
Thanks. Where are you hoping to move to? How does your 12 year old feel about moving. My 14 year old can't wait but the 12 year old is quite nervous he hates flying but is also worried about leaving his friends and not being able to play shinty etc.
Location: From Bury,Manchester To Jimboomba, Brisbane
