Thank you. The hubby finishes his course in March but did think he would need at least 3 years experience, 2 would be even better! Good luck in your quest

Hi there, have a long term plan to get over to Australia, am hoping to start a social work degree in September, will I need experience on top of this?? As understand that there is lots of work placement included within the course?? any help greatly received and good luck to you.

Hi we are in a similar situation and wondered if you had heard anything else??

Thanks for the info, much appreciated

Hi there, just wondered if Zumba was as popular is Oz as it is in the UK??

Thanks sorry if offended

Thanks for the reply, will look into speaking to an agent. We haven't discussed yet with our agency as wanted to get some info together ourselves and do some research. Obviously every case is different but in our case the boys will not be going back to birth mum and have a full care order. We have been offered special guardianship but thought it was not the right time. We have now had the boys for nearly 5 years. As special guardians you have shared parental responsibility I think with local authority. is there any skills that Austrilia are crying out for??

We are both willing to go back into education, but not sure what would be the best route?? Have been advised by 2 different sources, family rights group and a solicitor than can take children under a special guardianship but wondered if anybody had been able to carry on long term fostering and made the move?? Thanks for the reply

Hello, this is my first post, so apologies if in the wrong thread, this is a whole new world for me. the hubby and I have dreamt of making a life in oz, love the idea of an outdoor lifestyle, however not sure what the best route is as we are currently foster carers of 2 beautiful boys and also have an 11 year old boy. Hubby is ex army and has driving licences coming out of his ears and I qualified as a nursery nurse with experience in school, childrens centres and family support. Last job was early years play development officer with the council. Obviously want to take the boys with us, but am I right in thinking this could only be done under special guardianship?? would me and the hubby even be able to get a visa?? Whats ts the best route?? Thanks in advance for any info
