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 have finally decided to take the plunge and have signed with migration lawyers this week!! Currently putting together ACS documents. Really looking forward to getting through the whole process and making my way to Oz, hopefully Queensland.
I plan to go over by myself on a 175 skilled visa. I am wondering how many more like me are applying? Would love to hear from anyone in similar circumstances either currently applying or those that have made the move!
Anyway, good luck all!

Welcome to PIO. There are lots of us on here who have gone through/or are going through the ACS process, so you'll get lots of support. Actually it is usually the wives who go one here, (IT Wags as we like to be known - LOL). The husbands are to busy doing their ACS applications!!!
Hopefully, the ACS will not be too complicated. I just need to get 2 employee references. Famous last words!!
I am hopefully headed toward Brisbane. Spent some time there a few weeks back whilst on holiday and seems like a really great place to live. Would love to live further up North, but not sure what the employment opportunities are like; I work with Siebel. Certainly wont hurt to look!
