Hey all, Newbie here so hope you can help us out. Myself, my partner and 2 kids (4,7) are arriving in Melbourne at the beginning of Feb as i have a new job here in the CBD :-) We will be living in temporary accomodation within the CBD for the first month but need to find accomodation after that. Our prorities are - getting a good school for our eldest, max 30 min commute via public transport to CBD, near the beach, and preferably a modern build of house. Any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey VickyMel, thank you very much for the response, your info is appreciated. I have contacted both Jamie and Tony, so hopefully something positive will come of it. If anyone else has any info they can pass on to me i'd be grateful. Thanks Andy

Hello, I’m new to this site and could do with some advise please. My family and I (Partner and 2 children) are hoping to migrate on a employer sponsorship 457 visa, due to my profession not being in demand. Over the past couple of years I have applied for literally 100's of jobs. The majority didn't reply and those few that did, wanted someone with a visa in place. But without a job I cant get a visa and without a visa i cant seem to get a job, Catch 22 eh? Is there any migration agent or organisation which assist in helping find employment as well as giving the employer some assurance the visa can be processed? I would really appreciate any advice or information as things seem be going nowhere.:sad:
