Thanks Marisawright. Is there any areas along that route i should be careful about? I was also told that Manly Vale and the northern beaches were great (slightly more expensive), is the transport not that great from there? Yes i got a good response but was hoping for some more feedback if possible. S

Hi, I have written a thread before but didn't get a great response (I think i posted it in the wrong category). I have an opportunity to move over with my wife and 2 young kids (oldest is 3yrs). We would be on 457 visa. My salary would be 90-100k a year on top of that 9.25 superannuation (?). I get private medical for myself only and up to 10% annual bonus. My place of work will be in Sydney CBD (NSW2000). Advise on were to look for a 2/3 bedroom property with a less than 45min commute? Rough cost for rent and breakdown of utility costs? Thank you S

Thank you for your response

Hi, I hope you could give me some advise. I have an opportunity in Sydney CBD that pays 90-100k on top of that is the superannuation. I get private healthcare for myself only and up to 10% annual bonus. i am married with 2 kids (3yr old & 10month old). I am awaiting what visa/sponsorship we will all get. Is this enough? We do not need a huge house with all luxuries but want to know that i would not battle to find some cash to take the family out once a week or so. this potentially will be a 2 yr job maybe longer. Q1 - Where can i look for a good family suburb to rent with transport into the city centre (less than an hour) Q2 - Do i need private healthcare for my whole family as i believe as UK citizens we entitled to the government healthcare Q3 - What age do schools start and i believe we would have to pay for our oldest. any rough idea on cost? Q4 - Can you give me a rough cost on utility costs a month (gas,elec, internet, water etc) Q5 - Cost to buy/lease a car? i know it is a lot to ask but hopefully someone can help a little. Thank you
