Hi there,
I don't now if anyone can help? We are hoping to move to Canberra this year and are just in the process of filling out our state sponsorship forms etc. All the research I have done in regards to cost of living only gives figures for 2011.
I was wondering whether anything has changed this then? Like have food prices gone up? Rental costs etc? I'm not looking for a breakdown, just an overall indication would be great.
Everyone has said how expensive it is compared to UK, but we are looking at it from a potential earnings side and trying not to compare with the UK, just can we afford this with our potential income over there. I don't know if that's the right approach to have?
Also, as a side request my occupation under the visa application is Policy Analyst, does anyone have the same occupation or knows of that field out there at the moment? I am looking for jobs as a Policy Officer, knowing I cannot get a gov job unless I'm a citizen! There's only two of us and my other half is an I.T consultant. Again if anyone knows of the job situation for IT people at moment that would be great!
Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated!
thanks!:biggrin:
