Have a look at Sunshine Coast ex pats social group on Facebook if you are on there. May be something of interest.

In QLD, the first home grant is 15000 for a new build. You can't get a grant of $7000 anymore for an established home unless you brought it pre 2012.

Got to run around and do it all in the next 2 weeks as my partner is going to work away! Stress ache! The only biggie is getting our statement, passports and birth certificates certified though. As long as we fill in the forms ok we'll be fine.... 4 months i'll be lucky!!!

I got all my bits certified by a JP at the local library. Didn't cost a cent. Can you do that where you are?

Hi, yes it was an 820, I handed mine in at the Brisbane office. My bridging visa was confirmed along with my application acceptance letter 10 days later. Which then kicked in when my WHV expired in February. Good luck!

Good luck. My onshore visa was processed within 4 months. Thinks its luck.of the draw!

spending it at home in Buderim with my Mum and other family members. Cannot wait.to get back to the coast as currently working away in Emerald, qld and itching to get back to the coast and 'home'.
