We moved here a year ago. My son was in primary 5 in UK but since we moved mid year he is currently in year 4. We visited the school before he started. The year 5 boys were 1 - 1.5 years older and about 12 inches taller than him. We’ve taken the approach, that this is a transition year. Even if he repeats some things, then at least it’s giving him more scope to settle and make friends. IMHO put your son in year 1 and try and get some friends before xmas otherwise it’s going to be really long until he meets other kids. Also it gets him introduced to the school so it’s not too big an issue after Xmas. Finally we all stress out about our kids and whatever you decide you’ll still worry if it’s the right choice. Been there and bought the tshirt. Good luck. It will be OK.

I think it's the same in Vic. We're on a 457 visa but We got new Oz licences . It makes insurance cheaper and also good Oz ID with an address on. The ID part is the most useful. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

A few of the listings were short term. Owners going abroad for 6 months holidays rent out their flats and houses. We ended up just going into our main rental earlier, so that we don't have to move again. The place is really bare and I'm counting the days for shipping! Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

We're currently in a rented flat waiting on shipping. We rented the bare minimum furniture inc kitchen utensils, plates etc. Look on internet, loads of companies renting furniture short term, any budget. We are lucky flat has walk in robes and drawers, so we can store clothes. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz
