I was thinking the same thing yesterday! After doing a bit of research I applied online to NAB yesterday, not had a confirmation email yet though?

Congratulations!! Did you have to submit form 1221 and 80?

Thanks for all your feedback! I will join the frequent flyer programme for Qantas that's a good tip! There are four of us me my husband and two boys 15 and 10. Been looking at airlines this morning and it's hard to decide the best way to go. Also been researching removal companies but that's a mind field too! Trying to have a productive planning day while I have the day off :-)

Hi My sons really wants to take their UK XBOX ONE and PS3 to Perth when we go in January.. will they work or should we sell and re buy when we get there? I know we will need to change the plugs but this will be cheaper then re buying the consoles. Thanks

Hey Does anyone know any airlines that offer a migrant discount or the best one to use for extra luggage allowance? I have heard Emirates offer 50kg if you are emigrating is this correct? Manchester - Perth January 2016. Thanks :-)

I was just looking at Spire Manchester Hospital online! Thanks for the info it has been very helpful and I am going to complete the medical declaration now!

Thanks for your advice, although I am quite attached to it I think we will just sell as you are right in that it will probably cost as much to ship it as to replace it.

Thanks for your reply. It's a big American style one with water/ice machine, would you still recommend to sell?

Hi I am hoping to move out to Perth late January 2016 and was wondering whether to transport my fridge/freezer? I do not own enough stuff to warrant paying £4000 for a container, is it possible to just ship my fridge/freezer and does anyone have any idea how much this may cost? It is only a few months old and I need to work out if it is worth shipping or not. I live in Manchester and may also ship a few boxes of photo's etc.. Anybody recommend a removal company? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your reply. Yes I'm aware that I will have to be invited and EOI however, I did not know the invitation rounds are held on the first Monday each month so thanks for that info. Once I have passed the PTE with superior results I will have 65 points. I am hoping to lodge our application in October. I will look into who does medicals and PCC's in Manchester as getting this wrong could be an expensive mistake! In terms of employment evidence do I need a reference? and if so is there a specific format? I could also be getting on with these ready for when I lodge the application. Finally, is the form 80 the same as 1221 as they do seem similar? I have read that much online I am becoming confused! Thanks again for you help and congrats on your visa!!!

Hi all This is my first post so I hope someone can help! I have started the process for a 189 visa and hope to move to Perth early next year with my family: husband and 2 boys 15 and 10. I am a children and families social worker and AASW are currently processing my skills assessment (sent 20/06/2015). I am due to sit the PTE academic test on Wednesday :err: I sat IELTS last month and was 0.5 points off on reading!! I really want to lodge my application in October and have started to gather all the documents etc.. I have a couple of questions regarding the visa application: 1. Do I have to wait for DIBP to say when to go for a medical/police checks or can I book these now? 2. Documents required? Is it just birth certs/marriage cert/passports? 3. If I do not have a P60 will a document from HMRC stating all my earnings from last year be suffice? Any help anyone can give me on the application process would be much appreciated!! I would like the application to go as quickly and smoothly as possible and hope to be able to have everything uploaded etc.. so I can submit as son as my skills assessment is back and I have passed PTE. Thanks in advance Michelle
