My parents know of a furnished rental in Currambine, Perth -- may be vacant in the new year..PM if need further details

Hi there We have emigrated from uk and now live in Hillarys but recently started up a short stay/holiday home in Currambine- northern beach suburbs. It may be a good base to explore the areas. A lot of people rent a furnished short stay for a few weeks when they first arrive in Australia while they look for a longer term rental ( a lot cheaper than a hotel and fully self contained )

Thank you! It's gutting how other half siblings not really ' on the scene' can affect their dad being able to live where he wants to go...i have read many other entires on here over last 2 days and see many other families in the same situation.....wish it could change!! I I were to write a letter to sometone in a position of immigration authority i.e minister...who would i write to...anyone know? So i guess its tourist visas for now.....does anyone know about how often 12 month visas in a row can be granted? do folks have to head back to uk for application or can they travel to another country e.g. NZ to apply ? thanks again germaine

Thanks for that useful tip - tells me everything about aged care parent visa which is fab - my concern still is the balance of children test - any ideas anyone?? thank you x
