Hi all I'm new to the site, me and my girlfriend are thinking of making the move to aus, I've been looking at jobs ect as a mechanic I get 21k a year in the uk but in aus jobs pay 60-95k depending on experience and location, this was based in gold coast region. I've been reading about how expensive the cost of living is but if my wages can b at a min x3 what I earn in the uk I'd hope I could manage, my girlfriend works in a care home as a senior career and was unsure as to what sort of wage or job availability she would get?? A main reason for moving would be a better quality of life we have no problem working hard for a living but are fed up of doing this in the uk and only just getting by while others can sit at home on benefits and have a better life than we do lol.
any advise would be appreciated either on costs, job prospects and wage or any other advise you may have
