Any child Care Care Centre Managers in Perth looking for work?
TraceyT replied to TraceyT's topic in Careers and Vacancies
You will probably struggle to get work as a qualified member of staff, unless you have your skills assessed. Your degree when complete will get you lots of work in child care as everyone seems to be screaming for qualified staff. Good luck Tracey -
Hi, Not sure of all the details just yet, but are there any Child Care Centre Managers looking for fulltime work near the city? Please PM if interested. Tracey

Hi there, We live a couple of suburbs down the coast in Brighton & have been here for 4 months now. Glenelg is great & sounds perfect for the work you need. You may find it a little busy in summer though, but there are many beautiful suburbs surrounding it well within walking distance. To live this close to the beach down here is quite frankly living the dream we wanted. The people of Adelaide are so welcoming, I wouldn't live anywhere else in the world.

Hi, Good luck guys, not been on for a while, hope the court case went well. Glad to see you are moving in the right direction. Not seen the new town centre in Blackburn, it was finished after we left, but prob not a patch on Melbourne! Tracey x

Having second thoughts are we doing the right thing?
TraceyT replied to tracy123's topic in Aussie Chat
Hi Geoff, Well we have left sunny old Blackburn & landed in bloddy freezing Adelaide on Tuesday. Saying goodbye was hard, my advice after talking to other poms is to leave family in Blackburn & taxi to Manchester, it certainly made it easier for us, compared to others stories. Diazipan is a god send!! Hubby needed it to fly, but the jetlag set in once here & have been too tired to think. Get a car ASAP, otherwise you are isolating yourself, we didn't have one for 4 days and have now hired one, which makes life far easier. We have made friends with a great couple from Poms in Adelaide, the kids haven't joined any clubs yet, so haven't made friends with Aussies. TBH it feels like any other British city, which is a strange feeling & until the kids met kangaroos and koalas in the wildlife park yesterday I don't think it sank in that we are on the other side of the world. Just be there for each other, especially when you feel down. I can't wait to say it is the best thing we have done for our kids (too early yet), but surely getting out of Blackburn has got to be a positive move. I also think what is helping me is that I want to go back and visit later on next year to meet a my newborn neice, it seems to have made thinks seem easier for me. Anyway, good luck with the move. When are you coming? Tracey x -
Singapore airport for more than 6 hours = free city tour?
TraceyT replied to TraceyT's topic in Shipping and Removals
Thanks for that, I will look into it -
Does anybody know of this offer? We are in Singapore for 18 hours and want to go into the city. Can you hop on and off this tour? Thanks in advance. Tracey

Sorry, may sound thick but can you clarify what you mean by 'visit bulk billed check up in with visit' - Is that for the doc or dentist? Not over in Oz yet so don't understand the lingo.
-
Fantastic news for you and your family, enjoy the celebrating, now you can really plan.

Hi, I have been told on here that with the level 3 nvq you may still need to pick up a couple more units when you get out to Oz. I am level 6 and still may need to do that (will prob see in June when I arrive). My Food safety, first aid and safeguarding (called mandatory reporting in Oz) run out this summer, so I am waiting to do them in Oz (not cheap), but will obviously be recognised. Before you get an assessment by TRA, go on to the ANZSCO code for Childcare Centre Manager and make sure you have all the necessary requirements. Good luck

We go to Oz at the end of June and just had a check up at the dentist. I asked for our hand over files and they said we won't need them, they said the dentist in Oz will be able to tell by just looking at our teeth what has been done to them. So I am chilling. Also my kids high school will email the new school any reports, as it is all electronic now. I have heard on here that a doctor will charge upto £15 per person for medical records. So unless you have a complex medical history I wouldn't bother getting the details. I have also heard that when you sign up to a doc in Oz, the initial check up is expensive!!

Hi, Just been recently and found it really busy. There are loads of shops (a lot of jewellers), but I don't think it will fill your 19 hours. There will probably be an airport website (Singapore has one), so you might be able to see what is on offer. We only had a 3 hour wait for our next flight, and it was the middle of the night, so didn't feel much like shopping. We fly through Singapore in June and have 18 hours to kill, so we are exploring the city on a tourist pass, it might be worth your while doing something similar. Good luck.

My daughter started school in England far too young, she turned 4 in the July & the same Sept, she started full time education. She had a 2 hour sleep every afternoon, propped up with pillows in the quiet area with the kids being taught around her. She was later diagnosed as having dyslexia and is now doing rather well in her GCSE's (fingers crossed). This is down to her hard work and graft, she needed to prove to her peers that she isn't thick. We land in Adelaide in June and she goes back to year 10!!! After reading all your comments, I do feel relieved by some of the comments made about the Oz education system. Can I also add to the parents of other young dyslexic children that I have spent literally thousands on extra lessons & none have made the slightest difference to her spelling and punctuation. It is me that has had to chill and accept her requirements as a parent & stop presurising her.

Anyone from SA?
-
I am using Crown Relocations, who are based in Leeds. They come tomorrow and apparently will pack everything for us. We are taking no furniture but will prob fill quite a few boxes. They were the most helpful on the phone, so fingers crossed.

Thanks for the info, got teens, so the article has helped. Good luck on the court case.

Once you have your visa (a requirement for the service) I think you should be able to input your cv, as it requires a visa number which will be different to your OH's. Plus you don't need your skills assessed, as there is a yes/no button for that question. After entering all my details there are no job matches for me, but other industries may advertise on there. Good luck & thanks again.

Hi, Thank you so much, just uploaded it now. I followed your onscreen instructions and didn't even need the kids! You are a star. Cheers. xxxxxx:hug:
-
I was also under the impression that case workers would still be working on files, just not granting the visa until the new year if that were the case. Therefore, you would prob be requested for further info in the meantime by case officers. I doubt they would be sat for 3 months doing nothing and twiddling thumbs.
-
Will give this one a go tomorrow. The notepad didn't work earlier. Will let you know if I suceed. Thanks again. xx
-
sorry, just read your post now. Let me know if you have the same problems as me. Cheers
-
Thanks will try that. May need the kids to help me tho, sounds a bit complicated. Cheers
-
Thanks for the reply, but tried that, it will only allow rich text format.
-
What a pain, I had input all my qualification details, then the last page wanted my CV uploaded in rich text, which I did. It then it said it could not upload because I had images on the file!! There are no images on my CV, which was completed in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Has anyone else had this and what did you do to rectify? Thanks in advance.

I would also go into a little detail of large employers in SA (within your OHs occupation) and see what adverts they have. I also put that my CV would be electronically sent to each childcare setting in the city of Adelaide. Find a couple of employment agencies in his field and name them, adding that your OH will be joining them. Hope this helps. Tracey
