Hello Nicola, Chris and Reuben

Now long to go now!

Once you're close to arriving, PM me and we'll arrange to have a cuppa & a natter about what's next. As Peachy said earlier in this thread, you'll have to arrange tax file numbers (TFNs) via the ATO (Australian Taxation Office), Medicare registration (Oz version of the NHS), Centrelink and driving licences (within the first 3 months), mobile/s provider and I guess a vehicle/s. Will you arrange a holiday rental for the first few weeks? Any idea of what area? Where will either of you be working & at what? Lots to chat about!

We'll be having a get-together in March at Aurora Boulevard Park, Aurora Boulevard, North Lakes and a date will be decided once we've had the January one.

Feel free to ask questions even before you get here.

Hi PatW

Thank you I will be definitely be taking you up on that cuppa and Thank you for the advice. We have secured a holiday rental for 4 weeks. I do hope we find a place to settle and work in that time. Chris works in the engineering industry and I have two jobs here I'm a hairdresser and estate agent. We will go where Chris finds work hopefully, we're open minded about where to live any advice off anyone would be great.

Looking forward to the get together in March :cute:

Hi

Me (Nicola) my husband (Chris) and 3 year old son Reuben also land in Brisbane but in February also on a 189 visa. Would love to meet up with people when we arrive too.

This is my first ever post on here I'm normally a silent one that likes to read others posts. :cute:
