Midwife on the Move

[jjb]

Hi

We currently live in manchester in the UK, me Lisa, my partner John and our two daughters aged 12 and 7.

I qualified as a midwife last year and am hoping to move out to oz next year. we are considering relocating to Perth. Are there any midwives out there, who have done what we plan to do, and could give me any info on midwifery practice, salaries, housing, schools etc.

Thanks

Not a midwife but a CMHN here in WA - very hard to tell you where to live - all suburbs are different and it may depend on where you get your job - you'll get a very very easily. Try contacting King Edwards Hospital they may be able to give you some info (and maybe a job offer)

Have a look on Australia migration - suburb profiles, accommodation, schools, real estate, jobs in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Darwin and Hobart as that gives info on perth suburbs, links to schools in those areas and average house prices for those areas

Real Estate, Property, Land and Homes for Sale, lease and rent - realestate.com.au gives you an idea of the rental/buyers markets
