  2. when i worked in the uk as a hairdresser there were formal qualified and there were people who had done a course for two months working along side of you i remember one girl who had learnt two haircuts on a course and you went out with one of those two hair cuts regardless lol when it came to emigrating i had to provide my indentures , and my city of guilds qualifications , my mother also came out of the same qualifications plus a few extra , advanced city of guilds and experience as a college lecturer three months before my self , although i dont remember them visiting my work place , australia has deregulated the licences for hairdressing so you are seeing courses available to teach cutting in six months etc [ a joke as far as im concerned , so who knows how its going to go here , most jobs i see advertised are looking for qualifications with x amount of working experience , although if you have some one try out in the salon for a day you will have a good idea in a few hours about what they do or dont know

  7. state schooling in perth is almost free there are school books and stationary to pay for, also uniforms , plus a small fee for primary school generally under a hundred dollars for the year
  8. when i think of noranda partments dont come to mind , there used to be a few two story flats but a lot of villas and town houses
  9. ive got a couple of friends i know who have been looking for work in the building services mech , since oct , both have never really been out of work except maybe ocassionally for a couple of weeks between contracts , and they havnt got work yet both are starting to panic as there has been no income comming in since then , my husband wants the govt to cut the immigration numbers, as there are locals unemployed , a lot on casual hours etc , i do think if you come over here on a skilled visa you should work in that line of work for at least three years before changing careers , so many hairdressers [ including me ] came over here on their qualifications , a lot dont practice it when they arrive , the shortages remain and more come in , they got their value out of me ive worked 28 years out of the thirty years ive been here , i also see it from the other side people spend all this money to get a visa and when they get here the work isnt what they thought , from the time they think of comming to the time they get their visa and move things have changed , three years ago things were great in perth , not so much now , its getting hard . ive heard poms on here saying that aussies look after their own , i havnt come across that, and ive worked with all nationalities , but that maybe my line of work , it proberly does happen , but ive also seen aussies knocked back when poms are in charge , and i kjnow of two companies run by indians and they only employ indians the latter because they bring them out on a 457 and pay them the very basic wage and they can then under cut others in their quotes as their overheads are lower . i dont know the answer , i know thirty years ago i had to jump through a lot of hoops to get out here , it worries me that so many people are coming in that we dont have the infrastructure to cope the hospitals have huge waiting lists , rentals are a joke with the cost but there again so is the mortgage for the landlords , the roads are jammed and not just at peak hour , and our kids are not getting training / apprentiships as every one wants fully qualified , and if it was that easy to get into the mines and earn huge money , with no relevant qualifications id be up there too , i cant count the number of poms who tell me they are looking for jobs in the mines one was a hairdresser , i asked him what he planned on doing up there ??? as all he had ever done was hair ,
  10. i have been watching house prices in northern suburbs for about 7 months as i was looking to buy a place and i cant say ive noticed them going up much
  11. some one taking their own life , its sorrowful that some one can see absoloutly no light at the end of the tunnel and they feel their only recourse is to put an end to it , im sure that when going through this they dont feel particularly " selfish " they proberly think they are doing every one around them a favour and to be honest it must be horrific to be in such a state of mind , even people who do it for financial reasons , have a form of depression , by the time they do it they proberly have had phone calls from debt collectors at all the times of the day and night , threatening letters etc etc . i think you get past the thought that they were selfish , sure you do go through that stage , but you move past that to anger , so much anger its terrible , to the stage of wondering what you missed there should have been more signs , on to the " what about me stage how could you leave me , then on to the acceptance of the situation , and all the while wondering the " why of it all " until you come up with some sort of reason behind it all that works for you whether its correct or not , i cant condem any one for taking their own life , to be in such a state with no hope !!! regardless of the reasons behind it , its horrific , i got of my high horse a l while ago , life has a habit of doing that to you , with what it dishes out before you ,
  12. when i was there all the expats avoided sim lim sq etc we went to paris silk in holland village , they had world wide warranties and all the latest electronics , not sure if they are still there ,
  13. you can buy oxo cubes here .
  14. being dependant until 23 is a pain i had this with my son , he can pay tax , drink , have sex and be called up to die for his country and be adult criminally accountable for his actions , but he cant claim any benefits , cant get help looking for a job as hes not officially unemployed as he cant sign on , cant access any help on job search etc ,yet if you go into centre link they are handing money out right left and centre to people to people who dont even speak the language and need interpreters . it wasnt money i wanted it was help for him from job search , but he couldnt access it because of the above , thank goodness it was a few years ago now ,
  15. you can secure a rental on your own , you just explain that your wife and children will be joining you at a later date , hubby did the same when he was in sydney and i was still in perth
  16. if i was looking and saw this i would think its the agent who came up with the idea , and they are looking at what kind of money some one is willing to pay for it [ over the odds ] personally i think if you do your home work on the area and spend a day looking at houses you will get a really good idea on valuations , you can then decide what to offer , its on an average size block for the area but the house is quite small ,
  17. non of those shows existed when i emigrated the internet didnt exist either so no helpful info there
  18. dont have council tax we have rates but thats the responsibility of the owner of a house , we have car rego ? i suppose if you put $500 in for the year it will be near the mark maybe slightly above or below depending on the car

    Have you ever?

    i remember watching a film years ago about a girl in a wheel chair and she was going to a ski resort so she wrapped her leg in plaster as if she had broken it and people treated her differently [ better] they didnt see her as disabled , its a bit like that with depression , if you said you were down because you were full of flu its under stood , when you say this big black cloud came over and knocked me over , they cant quite understand it ,what do you say to them ?? yes i know i have a lovely home three healthy kids a great hubby ,yes i have my health [ well almost as bit of me keep going to heaven before the rest of my body they are after my thyroid now !!!] yes you know you will get over it but it will come back again in weeks / months .how do you really explain it to some one ? i remember hearing a story of some one she was married had a couple of great kids beautiful home a fantastic supportive husband and family ,,,, and she had tried to kill her self a couple of times she recognised what she had and how lucky she was but she also couldnt help it , then she said she saw the same depression in her ten year old son and she said if the pain was to much for him she would hold his hand and take her life with him , i remember thinking , what is she insane !!!! i know she and her family are getting help now , but i also see it differently now i think that she could be in so much pain , that she cant see any light at the end of the tunnel , its so sad and rather then condemming her with my thoughts of " is she mad / insane " i wonder what i / we can do to help some one that feels that much pain , and what great courage it took for her to speak her thoughts out a loud in the discussion group , depression ans suicide numbers are so high now saw the info below on a site i go on ,the subject needs to be openly discussed its the pushing it under the carpet as its a disease that cant be visually seen that causes the problems / stigma its a disease that can hit any one any time from any background , xxx The World Health Organization estimates that roughly one million people complete suicide in both developed and developing countries each year. The worldwide suicide rate has increased 60% over the past five decades, with numbers of young people overtaking older males in one third of countries. Tens of millions more lives are affected taking into account those who attempt suicide. Add to that all those left behind to anguish over what they might have done over a lifetime to change the outcome for their lost loved one –and whose own risk for suicide has now increased-- and suicide becomes a major, largely unaddressed By speaking of this personal tragedy, I hope to lift the stigma that isolates both those who suffer from depression and the survivors of suicide. Research shows that much can be done to alleviate depression and to deter many impulsive suicides. Heightened anxiety and suicidal statements should be taken seriously and professional help sought immediately. Studies show that raising the barriers on the side of bridges a few feet reduces total area suicides. Having a gun in the home more than doubles the risk of suicide for all who live there. Removing easy access to methods such as guns, pain pills or toxic chemicals -- anything that introduces an obstacle or delay --may prevent suicidal action altogether. Talking openly about depression and suicide is a first step towards dispelling the darkness.

    Have you ever?

    ive never really suffered from it had times when i was a bit down but thats very normal i think , things just getting on top of you , my mother suffered from depression for about 5/6 years never a problem before that , in the end she wouldnt leave the house took her to see a psyciatrist , she knew all the right answers to say , he didnt listen to us and told us not to worry about her doing any thing silly as people who threaten it never do it , this was swan districts mental health ,any way the long and the short of it is she took her own life a tad over a year ago, i tried to help her , nothing worked , i told her to go to the nearest cemetry and there wasnt one person there who wouldnt change places with her , i think people seem to go into a big black hole and they cant seem to find a way to climb back out , i think some times the pain [ emotionally ] is to great and they cant see an end to it , i wasnt as close to my mother as i am to my dad but even my dad said he was shocked how it affected me , i didnt cry i wept two very different things , i had to go to councilling [ never done that before about any thing in my life ] i spent the first two sessions sobbing and going through her box of tissues , i finally came to accept that my moms pain must have been so great she didnt feel she had any other choice but to end it and ive forgiven her [ sounds awful but i was really really angry with every thing she left me to deal with and a letter telling me i had always been strong and she knew i would cope @#%^] it has left me with bouts of depression no warning it just waves over me , some thing triggers a memory and down i go , mainly later at night , i just push on try to get through it work helps as im so busy i dont always have time to think . its a horrible feeling im just so increadibly sad there is no other way of saying it , its still all new losing my mom and thankfully i had the coronors etc dealt with by sept which was good i objected to an autopsy so it was sorted pretty quicky , my husbands mother did the same when he was 8 , ive read stories where people have lost 3 /4 members of their family to the same disease its all just a waste isnt it !! but you notice a lot more facts and figures once you have been through it , for eg more american service men/ women are dying through suicide than are being killed in combat , more people in america are dying each year from suicide than are being murdered every year , that is a lot of people , yet its so hard to get any help , other than going to the dr and he prescribes you some anti depressants , pat on the back , and let me know if you have any problems with any side affects , see you in a fortnight which was what a dr did to me i found it ironic after i had just told him how my mother had died that he gave me meds , i dont like tablets so i didnt bother filling the script , actually there was more help for me through the coronors office [ councilling etc ] than any where else , and they were great ,
