Brill post for us who are about to make the biggest decision yet. Positive Mental Attitude will serve you well. Wishing you all the very best for your future. Keep us updated...

Hi any ideas on how much it would cost. Daughter is finishing A levels this year has had two offers and awaiting third. However, doesnt know whether to study in UK or OZ, or give up on uni altogether and come to Oz with us on whv. Just wanted some info if anyone is putting their child through uni in OZ.

Brill news, wishing you all the best for your new adventure.:laugh:

No short adventure, we are looking to gain PR. Its the older children thats the worry. My daughter has 6 mths left to complete her A levels which she will do she still lives at home and we support her however, has been debating for a while not giong to univercity. I can only advise her to stay in uk in uni but she has her own mind. They want to come to Oz if oh gets job. Its trying to give them the best advice I can with info provided.

Hiya all, looking for more advice regarding my two older chilren coming to Oz with us. As a family we have been offered a sponsership with a company (if oh gets the job) and will travel on 457 visa. My older children have been offered the 2yr working visa. Want to ask if anyone has been in simular position cause if they want to stay after whv expires what do they do?. My daughter is just finishing her A levels this year, was giong to go to uni, however wants to come to Oz. Son has been working for groundsmaintenance firm for three years. I hope they will love it in Oz as we have never been there, but hey lifes too short and just want to grab the opportunity if it comes our way. My god though what a decision to make, on a daily basis my head is all over the place. Are we diong the right thing, what if it doesnt work out, we will have nothing to come back to....... Does everyone contemplating this move go through the doubts? We are just waiting for decision from company which should be within next few days. Oh has had e-mail to ask if he is still interested, last interviews tom eek.

With the 2.5 guide for cost of living are you saying 2.5 x wage in pounds to cost of living in pounds ie £25,000 x 2.5 = £62,500 or $96716 hope it makes sense. We tryin gain information on what wages we need to earn to go.

As the saying goes.........Life begins at 40 good luck and Happy New Year:biggrin:

Thanks, will do. How long you been there and what area do you live in? I am a psychiatric nurse oh will find out in two weeks whether he has been sucessful in the job.I have no job yet to go to, how does it look jobwise for psyc nurses there.

Perth is where we hoping to settle. I will need to get a job too. I am a staff nurse so hopefully combined wages will be enough to enjoy our lives in OZ or basically its a no go. By the way how much does it cost for schooling out there havnt research that yet. With thanks.

Hiya all, The question on everyone's lips is how much do we need to earn to be comfortable. Wages offered to oh is $89000 dollars for a job which takes him away monday to friday one week and monday to thursday the following week. What you all think?

No he works 8 till 4. I know what your saying dont think I would like that with two 12 year old boys to look after. Food for thought though thanks.

Hiya all, Its crunch time. Will find out if my oh gets job offer following telephone interview in two weeks. Timescale will be six weeks, relocation package fab. I know your thinking thats great, however my husband will be away monday to friday one week and monday to thursday the next. It would be perfect if this wasnt the case. We have to make the biggest decision of our lives within these next two weeks if successful. Just wanted a little feedback on what you all think.:xmas24:
