Forgotten something???

[dave&donna]

Forgotten anything??
Just a question for those already in WA, especially on a 457 visa - the company we're looking into being sponsored with say they pay the health insurance for us (but prob look into getting some more once there we think), we don't pay for schooling on a 457 in wa we read so is there anything else to consider being on a temporary visa? Is there anything different about driving, buying houses, state benefits etc that we should think about?????
I've got sooooo much flying around my head at the minute can't seem to hold anymore info for more than a minute so seem to remember reading somewhere about benefits but can't remember what it said!!! Don't know if we'd qualify or anything or need them but just wondered what difference it meant being temporary?
Dave has been offered field service job on $23.50 per hour - does this seem ok? I looked on careerone and from what i can see it looks average????

Thanks soooo much for any help/advice.

Hi Donna

We are also going on a 457, i'm afraid on a 457 you are not entitled to ant benefits of any sort until you become a permanent resident , also we don't qualify for first time buyers grant! Post as many questions as you want on this site because the people on here are very friendly and always willing to help.

God Luck
