Hi, not posted in a while but been a long timer viewer. We got our visa last year, validated it in October moved out of our house in November, currently staying with family saving every penny for our move in July. We have accommodation set up for the first 5-6 weeks, we have a rental car booked for the first few weeks, we have a bank account open and are jumping on the good rate against the £ whenever we can and we have medicare sorted out. Just wondered if there is anything we can do now before we get there?? Looking at shipping companies just now and pricing that up. Any hints and tips on what to take and what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Got our c/o assigned end of last week just getting all our documents together to get uploaded hopefully have most things done except medical by the end of the week!!!!

we lodged our visa application 2 weeks ago still not heard anything not loaded any documents on as we thought you had to wait until case officer asked for documents…is this right? i know you can front load to speed it up though, hopefully hear something soon!!!

Thanks for all the replies!! Feel alot more comfortable knowing that my profession is in demand. Regarding the maths curriculum, at present i teach the scottish curriculum and therefore do not have experience in teaching A Level maths, quickly scanning the course its very similar to Higher and Advanced Higher in Scotland, would this pose a problem? I;m a bit confused regarding the IELTS do i have to sit this? i have read a few conflicting things on the Internet

Hi I'm a secondary school maths teacher with 6 years experience and hold a PGCE. i know I have the qualifications to teach in Australia but not sure on the actual demand,is there anyone on here been in the same boat? We are right at the start of the application process but are trying to find out what sort of job prospects I would have before taking the plunge!!

Thank you we'll have a look at the forums along the bottom!!! So much to read and take in and it feels like we're only scratching the surface!!!

Thanks for the replies my wife did a 4 year degree mathematics and financial economics followed by a year PGCE,and has worked for 6 years at a state school in Scotland. There seems to be lots of help on the Internet as long as you read and re read everything I think we'd manage without an expensive agent....well hopefully anyway!! Is there any websites/forums that you could recommend us looking at?

We are trying to read and take in as much information as possible just now but are struggling on where to start...any pointers?

We have looked into the different stages of emigration process and are trying to find out as much as possible before we start the process, any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
