    Hi Lee, Moving there this year, early next pending on house sale. Family there now if you can factor in delivery to Gold Coast address we can pay via Paypal or direct (I think if you can do a transfer from UK bank account to Aus). pm me and I'll sort it. Regards Christian

    Thanks everyone, we have to be in Australia by may 17th 2015 which tells me it was processed May 17th 2014 and has been sitting on somebody's desk until the new allocation for the new financial year was released. So those that have not received theirs it should not be too long as I would say many have already been processed. I'm not too sure on timelines as the wife did most of the sorting out and our agent (Go Matilda) I know we started last august with the IELTS test. Just need to sort out what's going on at AHPRA as its a right mess at the moment with U.K. nurses getting their skills assessed. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

    Submitted visa application 7 march case officer allocated 7 may we did the medicals on Friday and police checks were sent off last week good luck

    We tried to do it alone but found it far too complicated and time consuming. We both work and have three young kids and found that with an agent we still had a fair bit of work to do in getting paperwork together etc. so if like us you are unable to spend every minute checking that you are going in the correct direction and filling out forms I would invest in an agent to hold your hand. We've just had had our case officer allocated and are doing our medicals on Friday if we never had an agent we wouldn't be anywhere near that. good luck

  14. o'connors

    <p>Hi,</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>We are looking at moving to central coast area of nsw in 12 to 18 months, going on a reccee in about 6mths. But we need some advice on what areas to focus on and what to avoid, also good schools and any recommendations on hospitals to work in:- </p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>I'm a plumber</p>

    <p>wife is a nurse</p>

    <p>two boys 3 and 5</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>On our wish list would be close to beach, but could comprimise on that we definately need good schools and will have around $400000. for a house with 3+ bedrooms. Wife would like to work in hospital in the area i.e. not commute to Sydney</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Going to rent for starters but don't want to end up too far from school we choose and have to uproot kids again.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Thanks</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Hello Donna,</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Sorry not been on site for ages and ages, just noticed your post.!</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>How exciting it's all happening for you! Sydney too, I love that place, very jealous!! How long have you been qualified? Are you settling in Sydney?? Where is the job??</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>My heads all over the place at mo, been to a emigrate show and they think better to go on my hubby as gas fitter/plumber rather than wait till I'm qualified then have to work for 12 months then apply I qualify 2010 hopefully!! Not sure how easy I'd be able to get a job over there if we go as soon as I'm qualified. Need to look into that I've seen on the blogs something about having to apply for a Graduate post, not sure what that is, I think I'll do a post and see what comes back.... Yes we want to move there permanently went in 98-99 for working holiday visa and loved it, now got 2 kids I'd go tomorrow if I could !!</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Good luck with the move, let me know what it's like out there..</p>

    <p> </p>
