Hi Dan

Just pm'ed you a recruitment contact who helped an old colleague in a similar situation.

Thanks AltyMatt, I have contacted the recruitment contact and am awaiting his feedback.

As soon as you have been granted your 189 and have an idea of when you will be moving, start contacting the specialist IT recruiters e.g. Paxus, Candle, Lucas, Hays (and there are heaps of others). There's a reasonably good chance that you will have a job before you land or at least, you'll have an idea of where to start looking.

 

From day 1 you'll be eligible for Family Tax Benefits, Childcare Allowance and Childcare Rebate as well as Baby Bonus and Parental Leave pay if you'll be adding to your family. You're also eligible for Medicare from day 1. You won't be eligible for any major income support payments (e.g. the dole a.k.a. Newstart Allowance, Parenting Payment etc) for 2 years.
