Hi all i would be very interested in replies too! Having recently arrived from Oldham, Lancashire where i gave up a full time post as a very experienced detached youth worker... Im struggling to find work! I have applied for around 10 jobs so far bearing in mind we have only been here 3 weeks and so far have had 2 rejection emails for casual posts with apparently over 140 applicants! One i was shortlisted but didn't get through to interview! My next step is to do some volunteer work to hopefully get a foot in the door! Any advice to whatI'm doing wrong would be appreciated! Thanks

Love this! Makes me think our Dylan the Cocker Spaniel will be just fine!!

My husband and i have just received 457 visa grant 4am on wednesday by 5.20am our flights were booked! 10am my resignation was handed in at work! Already had 2 leaving parties! WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AUSTRALIA! For us its an adventure and are there for 4 years (hopefully) the hardest thing for me is leaving my family and best friend not worrying about what will happen when we get there! However it is probably much easier if you know one of you has a job to go to as my husband has and i presume you have on a 457? Anyway if we LOVE it, we Stay...... If we HATE it, we come home!

Sorry but i think you might need to look into this. I read it as it is for new applicants after the 2nd December and if it is already booked then the old rules still apply. I do hope ive misunderstood for the sake of Barney and Elvis
