Our thoughts are to just get there with a good job offer and try - if not definitely move jobs. As our eldest will be in high school after a year of being in Oz. I’d rather not be moving schools. think hubby is set on cc - I think he’ll be ok with travel but I couldn’t do it. time will tell! Ha! Didn’t like uk ... don’t blame you! david has family in Kew, I however didn’t like the rainfall in Melbourne!! Felt too much like home. Glad you’ve settled thou. thanks for helping

I’m not trying to get a rental before we arrive- I’m just searching to see what’s available and prices in areas! yes Newcastle looks lush but too far to commute, job has contract signed and it’s a starting point for us. Otherwise we’d have stress of finding job on top of everything else involved in moving

Oh my....this is getting scary! I’ve heard to avoid East ! The Hills comes up alot but again - struggle to afford that!! Might get him to change jobs! Can work nearer cc!! Ha! ideally near water would be nice, considering we don’t live near it here, and when you visit it’s a let down! More investing I guess! thanks for helping

He'll be working 8am-4,20pm. Looking like 12-13hr day. We cant live in an apartment, not with 2 kids. We are making the move for the better, not leaving 3 bed house with garden to live in a flat. I understand we cant afford the house like that there without living outside the area though, hence why cc came up. On other forums and news articles it seems more are moving from city to cc for the living space but comes at a cost of travel. We are restricted on the visa, but did prefer QLD.....maybe after our 2yr are up we can pop over the border! I'm def struggling to find any rentals south though.....they don't seem to hang around long!! Thanks for replying

Hey, Thanks for replying. Everyone says the same but im struggling to find rentals on south side. Im concerned we wont be able to buy there too. We do plan to spend a week on each side to see thou. I look into Helensburgh though. The Gong came up at similar train distance.

Hi We have just been granted out 190 visa for NSW and hubby has a job in Alexandria, Sydney. We are looking to live CC though (can’t afgord nearer city and rather have the surroundings of CC) We understand the journey via train is around 1.5hr and see that lots of people do this commute daily. He’s a mechanic so no option to work from home. We havent been to CC before so only going by online research, we like Avoca, Terrigal, Green Point. Can anyone recommend schools in the area? We have girl 10 and boy 6. I was hoping to get the set before the Xmas break so the can start day 1 with everyone else. Any advice is welcomed though. Thanks Anna

Hello, wondered if I could pick your brain on visa invites please.
We have our EOI for 189 QLD on 70 points (3mth, no invite), we are considering a 190 NSW on 75 points as we'd prefer an invite by July, Hubby also turns 40 in Aug so points will go down!
My question is : will 190 cancel our 189? If we get an invite on 190, will 189 still be active and possibly give us an invite?
Ive also heard mixed reviews over 190 2yr stay. It holds no visa conditions ive been told....? We don't want to break the rules going so far from home to be made to leave, is that what could happen if we lived in another state?
Thanks for any help/advice you can offer

Hi Anna,
It is difficult to comment based on so little information.
Invites depend largely on occupation being nominated. Generally, it is harder to get an invite from NSW compared to QLD.
Even for the 189, the occupation will determine the points required for an invite.
190 has a two year undertaking wit the state, but no visa condition. I do not recommend breaking the 2 year undertaking as it may have future consequences, such as eligibility for Citizenship.
Regards,
Raul.

Hello, Newbie here. We have our EOI 189 on 70 points for QLD for 3 mth, no invite. We have decided to put EOI for 190 NSW on 75 points too, BUT what wed like to understand is if we get invite for 190 what happens to our 189? I'm very new to 190 invite process, ive read about 60 days to accept and pay, would I have the possibility of maybe getting my 189 invite during this time? Many Thanks

Hi, we wondered what happens to our UK Life Insurance policies when we move to OZ? Is there an option to cash them in ? Thanks for any advice Anna x

Didn't think so, thanks for clearing up thou. Anna x

.....You've stumped me! We have friends who moved to Sydney on 2 year visa. Assumed there was only 1 type.... But as Hubby has already used a working visa, we weren't sure he could do it again...
-
Hi everyone, just in need of advice please. Hubby back packed for a year, around 15 years ago, can he come back to OZ on a 2 year visa or does he have to fully move out? Thanks in advance Anna x

Thank you Howard. Ill look into those areas...and im sure ill have many more q's! Anna
-
Brilliant replies thanks very much. Very helpful. I will look further into it all once we know locations. Thanks again everyone
-
Thanks for your advice. However we don't know the location yet and prob won't for a while. What I'm asking if where is good to live within the areas I've said. I understand the area is huge and doubt we'd commute but as work have offices in both locations we kind of have a choice but which area is better to live? We have 2 young kids - is one location better for schools?
