Hello, I am doing this myself without an agent, do i need to do a Decision Ready Checklist (as it is listed as 'recommended' on my portal application) and if so where is it as i can't see it on the site or anything. Thanks in advance, Joanne

Hey yeah i am just wondering the same answer also!!

Travelup is a good site if you expand your travel dates to +/- a longer time, it gives you a comparison grid and shows you cheapest around that time, across airlines. I've been to Melbourne with Royal Brunei, cheapest i have ever been on to Aus at £630 last November, but this is a dry flight so they are a good company if you don't mind a small brunei airport and to not have an alcoholic drink on the flight.

Hey Fergamy, i am due to come to Perth mid October and have just been looking at the prices online for things and therefore interested to know how to haggle..any tips hehe? Do you think you can haggle on cars too? Many thanks in advance...

I am 33, single female coming late Sept think (still awaiting flight confirmation from employer), but think I will seek out the local rugby league club as thats what i am into, in terms of making friends. It seems bbq's at home are more the in-thing would you say? But you need to know people before you kinda go round their house! So when i get there, I am up for coming out...

You would be best asking the AASW - or you can llook under the overseas criteria..it all depends what you have done as your first degree, how much expereince etc. I have a masters and this has been useful to me in starting higher up the pay scale as at WA they recognise this. But a lot of candidates didn't have masters. SO best bet checking on AASW site.

Hello, I am in the Uk and I am moving to OZ in a few months. I have 6pts currently....will the points go with me...or do they get lost in the sea somewhere ;-) Also what are the car insurance costs like over there compared to UK? Many thanks!

The powers that be, in charge of the UK train us all up into public sector jobs (myself being Social Worker) but then there are very few jobs after that training....particularly now! Few jobs that are going have about 100 applications each ... I am certainly taking my skills out of the UK to where they will be renumerated and recognised appropriately. Not putting me through years of training to then only created substantial jobs in the unqualified roles!! I suspect similar in the Police.. I got offered 2 jobs in Australia but couldn't get one here!! I could of course if i moved to London but I couldn't afford to live there. The UK may eventually benefit from training me up if I return, if they create jobs matched to training, but not anytime soon... Government shouldn't be so stupid to spend the money on training us up if there's little employment in these areas.

Yes I am 33 moving alone...the way i see it is there's less risk in that you only have to settle yourself. When i was in relationships i found they actually blocked me in this goal of mine!! I expect to meet people when i am over there...
