    Hes 3, would be 4 when going. Its all riding on him though, he acts a lot older than what he is though and definately knows what he wants lol. We have been places before and he has point blank told me he doesnt like it even if we are having a ball lol he says he prefers our house. Lol. I wouldn't be going out and just relaxing the whole time I would be doing a hell of a lot of research into areas, and meeting potential job areas and asking questions etc. I just don't know if it would be worthwhile with how much it is. Lady Rainicorn made a great point; because Im going out with the mindset that its what is best for us il probably see it as just that until I go there long term and all the sh!t hits the fan lol x

    Im pretty set on the fact I want to head out but have a child so makes me feel more like I really want to be sure for him beforehand. The way my degree has fell with exams Il actually get a month off soon and am debating going over for a month with my son (his first time) and get a feel for the place with a child, go to mummy groups, parks, see whats good for kids and how he likes it really? Obviously I know it will be no comparison on how it would feel if out there long term but might give me a better idea of how he will cope; he likes to be busy busy and i think if we find alot of stuff he is into it will make me more determined to go. Only issue is it isn't cheap even for a month so it would be dwindling into the savings I have made so far. Although I guess it wouldnt be wasted if I go out and think okay, its not for him and our family unit. Maybe better sticking to crappy Ireland. I would be saving money then....

    Any young single parents on here, or even young parents who are still together? Heading out will not even be in the pipeline for another couple of years before application etc begins once I finish my degree, work, gain experience and save for a while by which stage my son will be maybe 5. Any experiences would be super to hear. So far my research has led me to the conclusion that this isn't going to happen for us unless I find a very rich man between now and application time lol x

    I would be willing to go to other parts although I think my auntie might kick my ass considering she misses family alot and for me to move over there and not to where she actually is; I cant imagine going down too well.. Do you like Brisbane? I will definately be saving my butt off before I head out! Already have a bit saved and havent finished my degree yet, then once thats sorted il be saving as much as possible with every wage slip

    Anytime she comes home I have her kids 90% of the time while she goes out rekindling relationships with friends so I am much owed !!! Lol but totally understand where your coming from xx

    I just love Sydney but would totally move further afield within easy driving distance though so I have my auntie to rely on for childcare in emergencies if need be. I just havent looked much into it yet as the thought of being further out on my own when not yet used to living there sounds even more scary ! lol x

    Havent been with my son, as during the degree (since I had him) I havent had longer than a two week break (usually less as exam or essay due in that time) since I started my degree and its not worthwhile taking a toddler on that long haul flight for 10 days. I think on the short term I could stay with her but not long term as her place is small (shes also a single mum, and affords a place). I dont have realistic expectations Im not one of these loopers going in blindfolded wanting a 4 bedroom villa with a pool etc. A small flat would suit me perfect. Its the lifestyle and outdoors I want, not a perfect home, as I dont have that here either. I have also been looking into house sharing who are willing to accept people with families so thats a possibility also while I save etc. Its just the getting into the country to start with im having the main struggles with; i think the rest can be sorted when needed. x

    Thanks so much for the reply! I think I have read that somewhere similar. I know about the working after qualified but do you know of any info regarding once in australia if part time work is an option? The childcare will be difficult but thankfully I have family there and my aunt is self employed who will help out until I am on my feet a bit x

    I have other qualifications in childrens care and development at diploma level 2. Would that help at all. I just hate the thought of waiting 2 years + AFTER my degree, that would mean looking at a move in 2018!! . Thanks for the luck!

    Also, would it be advisable to apply for a visa prior to completion of my degree as I understand it takes a long while to come through and Id love to get out of here asap!

    Hello, Im Nicole I am a single mum of my son who will be 3 next week (scary!). I have always dreamt of moving to Sydney since my auntie made the move when I was a young child; she is still there with her two children, and I would love to join them! I am currently training as a midwife over in the UK but ideally wanted to only work part time once completed training to "relax" for a while after this hardgoing degree and missing out on my sons early years. I have tried to make sense of the application process but am getting different information from different sites and I am struggling to make head nor tail of the information!! Some sites stated the working holiday visas were not possible for parents; others stated that the only option for me was a visa which required full time work while there meaning leaving my son more than I ideally would like to. Can anyone help me out please? Also I understand I need some sort of statement from the father to state consent; which he has verbally given but is there an official document or can we make our own and sign in presence of solicitors for legitimacy? Thanks in advance!
