Thanks @NicF makes sense now! I've only ever worked full time and have never had to deal with 0.8 or 0.6 etc.. annoyingly lots of adverts I've looked at recently don't state the Full time hours however, just 0.6 of FT so I'm just going with the average assumption of 38 hours.
-
Forgive me on this, maths is not my strong point! So if a job is advertised at 0.6 FTE would that be three days?

@WelshBen hi, I've seen this calculator before but unless I'm missing something it doesn't show pro-rata?
-
Hi I've searched online and can't seem to find an Australian calculator online for working out pro-rata salaries. I've been researching many part time roles and they all state 0.6/0.8 (etc..) FT equivalent. There's a really helpful pro rata UK salary online however I just can't find one for Australia. Does anyone know where I could find this? Thanks.

It's all on the website but just for clarity, you can select door to door or, door to port. Door to door is exactly that. Also there is a cost in Australia when it arrives, there also may be custom costs etc.. I think you need to book about 5 weeks in advance to secure dates over a busy (ie: summer) time.

Hi. We're going to use a MoveCube as we don't have a lot of furniture to take. We're also going to take MoveCube boxes. You'll find more info here https://www.sevenseasworldwide.com/GetQuote I can't endorse them as we haven't moved and used them yet, quite a few on here have however, Do a search for movecube up the top of this page to find posts. Regarding rent - I would only pay 6 months in advance if the area was a hugely sought after one and I really really wanted to secure a rental. Others who have moved can advise on this however.

I think your mind is made up. Just go back.

Chin up, keep smiling... All the best!

As hard as it is just now, are you able to find a way to make it work until you start earning? is your salary payment due soon? It's totally understandable you feel this way. I imagine anyone would in your position. Once you start earning and being able to afford the lifestyle out there you may feel a little differently. Australia is not all faceless suburban wasteland - albeit it many cities do have what you've described - there's a lot more on offer!. As it's only short term could you live with one of your siblings? I say you've spent a lot of money, time and effort getting over there. Why not give yourself x amount of months and if you still feel the same, head back.

I've got to say (and I am taking this as notes myself) I do think giving the UK as a base for holidays a rest for a while if you can. Explore the country you're in. Nothing wrong with going back to the UK of course, nothing at all. However if you're left with no time to explore the country you're currently in it would definitely make it harder to settle. It must feel like you're just working working working all the time. If you explore Australia on holiday, you might just find somewhere that you really enjoy and if there was a good role there .....

Ahh! No, I do know what booze is (let me assure you) ;-) I read it as grog inc booze and wondering if you meant your shop was booze with booze if I had not read so quickly I would understand it to be groceries including booze... now, where is that glass of wine...
-
Thanks @rammygirl exactly the type of information I was after, cheers! one thing that mystified me is your comment 'groc inc booze' ... ?

I had thanks @kerryw just wasn't sure how accurate it was so thought I would ask the question to see if a few people living there could advise of costs too. Cheers tho, it's a good website.
