    Hi Jenny, My family and I are in a similar situation and would love to come along on meetups/ get together's to try and extend our social circle!! We're 32 and 37 with children aged 7 and 5. We have been here for almost a year and are currently living in Clarkson (but not sure where Kingsley is in relation to us) Please let me know if you're arranging any social gathering! Lindsay

    Hi there I can certainly relate to your feelings (of guilt etc) as we are migrating in January with our young kids (taking them away from their grandparents n all). It's been a 2 1/2 year emotional roller coaster and will continue to be. But the advise you've been given is true (and has just really helped me so ta!). Live your life for you. We need to live ours for us and we believe this will be a fantastic adventure that will hopefully bring more opportunities for both us and the kids. And yes, nothing is forever. All the best of luck, lindsay x

    linziloo2 replied to a topic in Visa Chat

    Hello there! We constantly go through the cycle of feeling very selfish for leaving our lovely family- to feeling very proud of ourselves for actually chasing the dream and trying to better our lives. God knows how we'll feel when we actually get the visa! People I have spoken too tell me its 'normal' to have these ups and downs and luckily our family are supportive. That doesn't mean they want us to go though and i suppose we don't know what they 'really' think which is a down side (and which plays on our minds). But its all actually 'real' for you now so i reckon you're bound to get those extremes of feelings. Good luck with it all. Hope it's us soon!! Lindsay

    Hi! Apologies if this is a stupid question but please can anyone tell me 'how' you get to know when you are assigned a case officer if you haven't got an agent? Do they email you, call you or send something in the post??? Thank you, lindsay

    <p>Hello again! I planned my appointments purely by contacting various hospitals and asking for the OT departments (while i was planning the trip so still in the UK!!) They were all really obliging with me and straight away I had a good feel about it! I can email you my contacts if you feel they'll be useful x From the moment we landed in oz we felt relaxed! People are chilled out! We think we will end up north of the river and i have yet to look into Joondulup hospital as i think that is more of a community hospital that offers rehab (which i like) and a good mental health service (which i also like!). Yes, I am the main VISA applicant, my hubby is an electrical engineer. We have a 5 and a 3yr old. I did my skills assessment in summer 2009 so it's a bit dated now for me to offer advice. My next step is to apply for registration so I'm in a position to job hunt when the time comes! It's frightening when you think of all that needs doing eh!</p>

    <p>Hiya</p>

    <p>We too are thinking of either Adelaide or Perth. I'm pulled toward Perth for some reason, I'm not sure why. Did you set up your OT appointments via an agency? It will be interesting to see how different (or not) OT is in another country. I need to look into what I need to do to validate my qualification, etc, as it seems to have changed a bit recently. Are you the main applicant for your VISA? There's so much to look into, I honestly don't know where to begin! Do you know when you'll be going? Do you know which area you want to eventually live? We hope to do a reccie prob early next year, if not sooner. We've a 3 year old and hope that he'll travel ok!</p>

    <p>Cheers</p>
