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 everyone, my name is Claire, my husband Simon and I have been thinking of taking the life changing plunge of emigrating to Australia. I am a Midwife and Simon is a Taxi driver, we also have two children aged 9 and 11. We are still in the thinking stages at the moment, so we are trying to find out as much information as we can about Australian life, employment and the migration process. I have only just come across this forum and I’m finding myself hooked already.
Welcome to Poms In Oz. We are all a friendly bunch on here so ask away about anything. As for being a midwife you will get a job no probs Oz is your oyster & from 2 ex taxi drivers (me & hubby) to another GO FOR IT.
