No problem, be pleased to offer any help we can. We have just signed a rental agreement for a house in Hope Island as we have heard lots of good things about it. Keep in touch if there is anything along the way you want to know that we can help you with.

Thanks very much for the response - very useful. We have now found and signed a rental in Hope Island, we get the keys on 10th May, but can't move in properly until our container arrives from the UK, which should be about 10 days later. We would really like to meet some other families and make some local friends as all of ours are back in the UK lol!! Cheers Matt & Louise

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes we have found it pricey but have pushed the budget out to get what we want. Meeting up for a drink might be good. I (Matt) am an accountant and my wife (Louise) previously worked at one of our local preschools in the UK. Our son, Corey, is almost 13 and our daughter, Daisy, is 10. i have checked and the high school catchment for the house we want is Helensvale. Not sure abut the primary school yet though. Not sending the kids private, as cant afford it!! Anyway, let me know if you'd like to meet up. My wife knows somebody on the Sunshine Coast but that's 2.5 hrs drive away so not exactly round the corner! Cheers Matt

Anybody out there who lives in or has lived in Hope Island, Gold Coast, Queensland? We have just moved out from the UK and are considering renting a house there. We want to know what the area is like and any pros/cons etc. Would also be good to meet some new friends in the area, so we are extending the hand of friendship to anyone out there who is interested. Thanks in advance for any comments!

Hey guys, I think somebody has already asked for this before but I don't think it was ever answered, but does anybody have a useful checklist of what needs to be done to get yourself to Oz, with timelines, once you have been granted your visa? I know I have tons of stuff to do but I could do with a checklist to make sure I don't miss anything...... Thanks in advance!!

Good luck with your medicals. Don't forget to wear your lucky pants!! :laugh:

Hey Poeribbo don't worry about the documents still showing as required. Ours still show as required now even though our visa has been granted lol!!
-
Great news. We got our grant within 2 days of our medicals being finalised. Good luck!!!
-
Thanks Poeribbo. I'm sure you will be next. Have DIAC got everything they need from you, and you're in the waiting room??
-
Lol if only I could! I gotta go to work (boo!). Still, it's gonna be a great weekend!! Then, after the celebrations, the hard work really begins....

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY Oh, and not forgetting........ TURN ME PURPLE!!!!!! Woke up to a visa grant email from my CO. WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jiggy::jiggy::jiggy::jiggy:

Congratulations fatwu!!
-
Woohoo! Medicals now showing as finalised for all four of us. Now officially in the final waiting room......:unsure:
-
Just checked online and me, my wife's and my daughter's medicals now show as finalised. Only my son's still say "received" which is a bit odd but I'm sure it's just timing as nothing came up on his medical. All documents still show as required even though they were all uploaded at the time of application, so I guess I just have a CO who doesn't update them? So as far as I'm concerned DIAC have everything they need and I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting...... and checking, checking, checking, and checking some more lol...

Many congratulations Dreamers!! Wow that was quick - less than six months between application and visa grant!!
