Newby family dreaming of oz

Boosonic · 14-12-2007, 02:50 PM

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.

Hi Claire,

Welcome to PIO......this site is so helpful, there is always someone who will come along and answer any query you have.

I am a Registered Nurse and my OH is also a taxi driver - I have been inundated with calls from Oz with potential jobs so you will have no bother securing employment.

GO FOR IT

Hi everyone,

Thanks again for the warm welcomes and for offering to answer our questions. We have so many questions at the moment so I will try not to bombard you with them all at once! We are currently living in Bristol (South West).
