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.
Hello Everyone,
I'm Annemarie 37 I have a MA from Glasgow uni in Humanities and currently working FT for a charity in Research and Development, I have loads of experience working and managing various community projects usually related to mental health and am also currently doing a post grad in managing alcohol and drug services (which is my passion).
My other half David is 34 and a qualified and certified Gas heating and service engineer, again employed at the moment FT with a local firm who contracts with local authorities all over the west of Scotland. We have one wee monster CJ who is 5, will be 6 in July.
We have discussed over the last few years making the move to Aus, but are now seriously considering it. Can I ask and I know its a lot, but what are our chances of being able to secure a job and a better life style. We have done a lot of research on the web but i was hoping to hear about your real life experiences,, I'm imagining a 4 bed house with a pool etc in a good suburb, can anyone advise if this is too much to ask, we currently earn about 60k here in Scotland, WHAT IS THE LIKELY HOOD OF OUR SKILLS BEING NEEDED, and does anyone have any idea what we could expect to earn, also suggestions of suburbs or small towns (with employment opportunities) would be very welcome.
Thanks for taking the time to read and in advance for any of your replys and advice.
Annemarie x
