    Hi Kellydud,

    You may get a more informed response on the sister site Perthpoms.  I'm fairly new to Perth and my daughter hasn't started school yet so not really qualified to answer but you will get good replies on Perthpoms.

    Where are you planning on living?  Bull creek and City beach are about 30minutes apart and are very different suburbs.  Bull creek is south of the river (SOR) and city beach NOR.  City beach is quite an affluent suburb, I can't really talk to Bull creek as I don't know it well.

    I'll follow this with interest though.

     

    Hi Collie

    thanks for the response.  I will try Perthpoms.  Suburb choice is going to be largely driven by which school we want or get.  I am from Perth originally and my family are all SOR but I've been in UK for the last 17 years.

    I am looking for advice on schools in Perth.  We are moving at the end of the year and my son who is 8 will be starting year 4.  I have sent an applcation to All Saints school in Bull Creek, which currently doesn't have space but we are hoping a vacancy becomes available.  We are wanting a back up in case this doesn't happen and have been looking into the International School of Western Australia in City Beach.  Does anyone have any experience / opinions on ISWA?  Can you make any recommendations on other good state or private co-Ed primary schools (preferably without a strong religious element)?

    thanks

    Yeah there's a few of us with text-book straight forward cases, and hopefully if the trend continues, you'll get a quick grant. Some people who also have had straightforward cases have waited 6 months. It's hard to know how DIBP work, I've given up trying!! Join our other thread, a few of us are keeping an eye on everything over there! 

     

    Where in Oz are you hoping to end up?!

     

     

    Thanks - I will look at the other thread.  Going back to Perth which is where I grew up and most of my family live.  Medicals have been submitted online now so I guess all we can do is wait.  Even though I know we get an email through notifying us of any requests it still doesn't stop me from logging onto the Immi account 5 x per day to check.  Seeing "Assessment in Progress" is going to get pretty annoying after a while!

    My husband and I submitted our application on 1st March (background:  I am an Australian citizen, we have been together 14 yrs, married 6 and have two children aged 8 & 3 both of whom are citizens by descent and have Aus passports) and we received an email on 8th April requested police checks and medical be completed.  The email was signed with a persons name (not just a computer generated email) so can I assume that this would be our case officer?  I understand that it is different in all cases but given that ours is very straightforward does it seem likely that our application with be processed quickly?  Police checks came through very quickly and have already been uploaded to our Immi account.  The medical was completed on 18th April but not yet submitted.  I spoke to someone from the hospital today and they said the Dr will upload on Tuesday when next in.  I am really hopeful that our wait won't be too long and have been reading some very encouraging posts from people saying they had their approval within weeks!
