  1. We bought a house in christies beach last year, large plot, pool ect with sea/beach less that 2 min drive.. love the area would recommend..
  2. another forum mentioned bridging visas but unsure about that route too. i think they will have to stick to their 3 months holiday each year. We have enough room in our garden for them to build a granny house/flat so that would cut down costs but i think its still far to much financially. thanks for all the replies. Lisa
  3. I had no idea of the extra $14,000, well i think that answers things, no way can they/we afford all that.. thanks for the assistance.
  4. thank you both for your replies, therefore can i clarify that out of first instalment of $2,060, then the second installment of $42,220, x2 $84,440, we would only get back $14,000 after the 10yrs? sorry im totally rubbish at getting all of this, Lisa
  5. Hello.. can anybody answer me this.. if my parents came on a permanent Contributory Parent (Migrant) visa (subclass 143) and one of them died before the 10 years is up (when they get the bond refunded). Is half of the money refunded to the spouse or family? As the cost will be nearly $100,000 for the 2 of them, its a lot of money to lose. Hope i have made sense Lisa
  6. obviously, super cool kids names, lol.. i cant answer the question on the schooling as we had a pr visa and were in South Australia. i pay for private school for Ethan which is around $5000 per year, Adam passed his SACE in public school last year that cost us around $390 for the year. im sure somebody else can answer this for you.
  7. Oh the joys i remember it well, well if you have failed you wont be the first or last!! i failed my first two on the reading with 6.5, then my third on the writing 6.5, but got this over turned into a pass. was gonna give up said to hubby would only attempt 3 times. its just practice, practice, practice... lots of free stuff online, i paid for ielts higher one month in the end. Good luck, you may have done fine :wink:
  8. I cant answer your questions as it has changed since i applied. Good luck with your applications and hope to see you in south australia one day. dont know if you are aware but there is another site called poms in adelaide which focuses more on SA. Lisa
  9. hi, cant comment what its like in the city but i feel totally safe here.. we live in port noarlunga and love it had no problems. no where in the world is totally safe, you should just take the usual precautions.

  14. Good luck with your move, let us know how Singapore airlines do as thinking of booking with them ourselves. Especially the food as were a finiky family. Lisa
  15. Hi, im still waiting for my application to be sorted, it will be 6 months since i sent it in two weeks time. Every time they ask for info i supply it the best i can, then its not good enough so have to beg to the uni to supply even more!! iv just sent all my module briefs after a very nice lady at the uni helped me out.. Now im piggy in the middle between the nmc & ahpra over my verification of practice form. nmc say they have sent it and ahpra saying they havent received it. nmc say wont send another until they have made contact with ahpra but neither sides are willing to talk or email each other :arghh:. i dont know whether it depends who you get at the other end or they just enjoy making us stressed!!! Lisa
  16. Hi, i cant comment on a shared container but we have had 4 quotes on a full 20ft container and they are all around £4000 without insurance. Lisa
  17. Hi we emigrate on 24th Oct and have been told by our local education authority that our youngest who is 11 and just moving to High school DOES have to go to school even though we are emigrating. Luckily they are paying for all the new school uniform but im worried that it will put him under a lot of pressure, to move then move again. (Ethan has mild Autism). I told LEA that he would not miss out on school as he would go back a year but they didnt want to know said by law he has to go. We have to move out of our house for shippers first week in Oct and will be living out of the area with my parents so im not taking him then + we want to visit hubbys family in Wales before we go. So he could be there only 3 weeks!! tempted just to phone him in sick!!! Lisa
  18. just popped in the estate agents and they have somebody who want to rent our house :wink::wink: got a mortguage chap coming on mon so we could be finally on the move!! just need AHPRA reg now.
  19. I took a copy of my last one and they did ask for it. Lisa
  20. How very odd!!:wacko::wacko: i hope you get it sorted!!.
  21. We originally wanted to move in Sept but having no luck at all with the house :frown: not one sole viewer!!! didnt want to apply for jobs until house sold, hopefully AHPRA wont be too long either. Will probally give it until Feb as need to validate visa by April, if no look will probally have to look at remortgaging and renting out. I like the look of Noaralunga hospital but been told its hard to get into. Never been to SA so a little hard to plan where to live and work as dont know the distances. Are you on Poms in Adelaide as i spend most of my time on there now. Your a little to far for a face to face chat, although my son is in Edinburgh today on a train trip. Lisa x
  22. Thanks, sorry not read all the threads, Hope to see and possibly work with you one day :biggrin: Lisa
  23. Well done, what type of things did they ask???
  24. Hi as far as im aware you dont need anything additional for ears. Im a nurse and needed HEP B & C but hubby didnt (not a nurse). You can speak with the medical practice they will advise. Lisa
