Its definately worth buying the regs as the security license test in all about the regs! also Just google AMCA cablers icense WA. Theres a couple of different ways you can do the cabling license.

Hi, sorry i haven't replied sooner. Most companies will not employ you unless you have the AMCA cablers license. You also need a security license

Hi all, are there any security technicians on here that have done the TRA skills assessment? i'd like some advise on what i need to do. i have a rough idea but need some clarification if anyone can help Thanks

Thanks for the info guys, We just wanted to know where we stood. :-)

Hi all, we have been in Oz nearly a year now and my company hae started the process of getting us pr under rsms. Does anyone have any info on how OH being pregnant would/will affect the medical assessment (pregnant women can't have xrays). Thanks in advance for your help

I'm sure I recognise you, I think our kids may have started at charthouse the same day (1st feb), and we was in the same group going around the classes.

I couldn't find you, too many with the same name lol, I have sent you a pm with my facebook link.

That would be lovely. Bet you cant wait to get here, we love it here. Do you have facebook? If so we could add each other on there if you want.

Hi all, we moved here in November 2011, and first stayed in Safety bay. We now have a rental in Warnbro, very close to the beach. We are Kelly (me) partner Jody (works in CCTV all over WA), 3 kids aged 13, 12, & 8. The two youngest go to Charthouse primary school (which i think is a fab school) the eldest goes to Warnbro community high (which she loves and is getting on really well). We have also just adopted a mad dog from K9. We would love to meet new people and make new friends in the area too.

Think we are going to have to go down the voluntary repossession route tbh. Your right they are don't take any notice of your circumstances at all. I will be doing a bit of travelling with my new job so thats good as I love travelling! I'll be sure to look out for a middle aged backpacker wandering around :wink:

sound exactly the same as my parents! They do sometimes moan at me but they've never asked for anything back. we have had nothing but trouble with our mortgage company for the past 7 years. They are scum tbh. They dont like me cos I dont take their BS. Where you headed in Oz? We're off to Perth but we want to visit pretty much everywhere :biggrin: Good luck and I hope you and yours get there soon buddy

Thanks for the manhug Tony :biggrin: lol :hug::hug: have some back for your great words :wink: We've been living hand to mouth since I had an accident at work in Dec 2010. We've been in a bad situation for years and really struggled to make ends meet to the point where we fell really behind with our council tax and mortgage. Had bailiffs at the door threatening to break into our home and take everything (they cant do that by the way). since I had an accident at work in dec 2010 things got worse! The only reason we're going with 3k is because my parents gave us it! If it wasnt for them we'd be going with a few hundred quid in our pockets and the clothes on our backs. The school of hard knocks certainly does prepare you for life. At the end of the day we have been given a chance to start over so to speak and we know where we made mistakes and theres no way in hell we'll make the same mistakes again! Ben

Have you tried any of the mining companies? They seem to sponsor and they pay very well too. Good luck in getting to Oz. We're heading to Perth on the 8th November. Well we are if Qantas sort themselves out by then!!

Your very welcome. It would be great to go with loads of money but hey, we've never had money and lived hand to mouth for way too long here. I wish you both luck in getting a sponsor. what work does your OH do?

We are a family of 5 and we are going with 3k. we have been very lucky to have a sponsor who is paying for our flights and some accommodation for a few weeks. I cant stand all these people who say 'you need at least 10 or 20k to move to oz'. why do you need any money if you've already got a job to go to?? Also we have a house in the uk that we cannot sell and the mortgage co will not let us rent it. We cant get a RTB mortgage as we dont have 30% + deposit.

I would highly recommend Crown relocations. The only problem we had was with the insurance forms. Due to people not talking to each other. The packers where amazingly quick and ultra efficient. Also I managed to get them down to £4.5k including Aqis and insurance :biggrin:

LinkedIn is a great place to make contacts who will be more than happy to help you

Do you think you may have posted on the wrong thread there THE DUNSCOMBE FAMILY? :tongue:

Where abouts is Lesmurdie? I have a feeling that may be where we're going to be staying for a while. Hmmm friend with a furniture shop... Your a very good person to know then :wink: lol My sponsor is paying for our shipping so why not take everything we can :biggrin:

Oh yeah. Dont see any point in hanging around. Yes we're heading to Perth. Looks like we'll be NOR for a while until our stuff arrives then we'll be settling in Rockingham. Its a nightmare cos you want it to happen for ages and nothing does happen. Then all of a sudden everything happens so quick!. In the space of 3 days we got our visas, booked the shipping co and booked our flights! Before that we had nothing happen happen for months! My family are so happy for us (i think thats probably because they realise they'll have cheap holidays now).

I think its the laid back aussie way tbh. Where off to perth. flights are booked for 8th november. So excited now :biggrin:

Nice one Eddy :biggrin: Its a pain that they dont tell you what time they'll be here. We've a sole use 20ft container so i think they'll be busy both days! Good luck with your move too. Where and when are you going?
