Don't be like all the others looking in Perth, go south or north. We have been given a RSMS visa for my wife (she's a midwife) down in bunbury, 100 mile south of Perth on the coast. Brother in law is a civil engineer, based in Subiaco, but regularly travels down to Busselton, Mandurah, releasing land for new developments. Start to look there. Perth is 30% dearer than these areas for housing, although you can still pick up house bargains in the outer suburbs if you search.
And yes I'm considering signing on at the mines.
I am a printer by trade, have spent the last 8 years in IT, but I will head for the mines when our visa clears. You can earn good money, very good money.
