Hi

Just wandered pls if anyone works in Real Estate?

If so, did you have experience/qualifications from UK please?

Are part time positions possible?

Are you on a salary plus commission pls?

Adelaide area mainly interested, but thought would post generally, to see if i get replies.

May have found part time work with UK estate agent, and just wandered if anyone is now working in Real Estate over in Oz??

Many thanks indeed for any input

You say finances are tight, but could you afford to got for a drive up the coast for a couple of days and see if areas like Port Macquarie may suit you better than the Blue Mountains. There are many nice places in Aus you just need to see what suits you best and could be a better option than going back to the UK if your partner does not want to return to the UK.

Yep it is tricky one,, we did Adelaide 2010 to 2012, and REgret bitterly coming back to UK. I would dearly luv to return to Oz. Other half not so keen. I enjoyed the weather.. Although I did find it too hot and too predictable. tbh sometimes but made some lovely pals. I found it soo pricey,,, But I seriously cant hack the UK weather:( find people reserved n up tight, and just shouldn't have done it.. I did feel Homesick n me n other half had opposite opinions on stuff. Family think we should have stayed too I think:(!! that really gets me,, cos they know family moved to N Z and "doing well"?!! XXAnyway, I think counselling is brill option,, XX gd luck with decision, its mega tough,

Hi Jodipodi,, I am also v interested in this.. Many thanks.. Would love to come to Oz.. V lucky. have pr visa, have to use within 2 yrs,, son is nearly 7 and defo has Aspergers/AdhD I think.. So not sure.. Will have to wait til he has full diagnosis but utterly regret Not getting citizenship and skipping off at 2 yrs,, not 4 ( XX

Hi I would like to hear from parents of children with ASD, especially those on the 'higher functioning ' side/end/ of the scale and especially those whos children have experienced both UK and Australian education.

I would like to hear your views on Australian schooling/support , comparisons to the UK schooling/support, how you feel about your child's progression/experience in UK or Oz in general in terms of do you believe the life in Oz has provided a better environment in general or not for your child to thrive in - not just education wise but for the day to day life as a family - weather, leisure time etc?

,,, Thank you very much Quoll,, for your mssge... Does anyone have Any experience/know friends that have,,, and is anyone aware of a g good state pls.. Loved Adelaide,, so naturally if possible,, wanted to head that way,,,,, as few friends there still,, but interested in finding out lot more,,, many thanks,,,

Hi

Do you think anyone can help pls... Returned to uk nearly 3 yrs ago... Son was 3...

Since then,,, my son is now near a diagnosis for Aspergers believe and Adhd,,, maybe 1/2 other things:(,,,

Pls can someone tell me if they have been in similar situation?,,, Has education and services worked out ok on the whole pls,,,,

Any input at all massively appreciated,,

Best wishes,

hope u r having fun:)! xx

Hi,

wander if anyone has any recent experience of this,,,

Luckily granted PR visa July 09.

Entered and stayed in Oz May 2010 - Aug 2012,,,

Returned inAug 2012.

So, spent 2 years in Oz...

Spoke to a company last week in the UK, who said we would need compelling reasons,, n thought may get 3 months,,,,

Just about to take on an agent,,,, as haven't been able to contact our original one,,,

who says hopefully 2 yrs,, no compelling statement poss needed...

ANYONE HAD TROUBLE GETTING RRV FROM THE UK,, HAVING COMPLETED 2 YRS IN OZ,,,,

Thank you very much indeed,,,

Do you cope with being a lone parent without support where you are? If so, you will probably cope just the same in Adelaide. Will your child's father permit the child to leave UK? That's often the bigger hurdle to jump over.

Sure Quoll. Thank you.

ok,,,,, just wandering if anyone has attempted Adelaide/other area as a lone parent.... is it "do-able?"??

I am outgoing, sociable etc... But it is obv. a big big thing,

any thoughts please,,,

hope to stay in central suburbs/poss Hallet Cove,,,,

Hi, anyone recommend someone they have used to help with rrv application,,,

bit concerned submitting it within a month sadly of deadline,,, yes, I know should have been more organised.. So bit concerned on the "compelling statement" section, have completed two years, before returning to UK. Been back 22 months.

Now long term would like to re-enter and try for c/ship,,,,

Have sought bit of advice, its so expensive most of it!!!,,,

Thanks for any positive input please,,,,,

Any thoughts please,,,

Hi ozmaniac

Thank you so much for your reply,,,,

hi, just wandered if anyone has had trouble/difficulties with trying to obtain rrv, poss.. esp compelling statement,,,

did 2 yrs in aust,,,

now in uk nearly two,,,

thank you very much,,,,

Hi,

I am presuming, the main applicant must want to apply too..

Cheers!
