Its a minefield I know but something we are keen to overcome! Sorry not 186 but 190 PR is the only way we can see at the moment, however my wife doesn't get the required 65 points which are required. The only other option we can see is start our adventure in NZ then move to Oz after the minimum period in NZ, perhaps that'll help us get to Perth as our No.1 choice after a visit a few years ago. Just a shame the Ambo service in WA wasn't employing any Overseas staff and hasn't since we returned in May 2016. The whole route to NZ seems to be a fairer option and one I think needs further exploring !

Thank you all for the information and a balanced but realistic viewpoint, we are hoping we would be able to secure a PR Visa 186 as age is certainly against me but not my wife! Education is one of the topics we need to consider and appreciate the thoughts posted. Interesting that WA charge and yet VIC don't, is that the same for all other states?

Good afternoon, We are considering a temp resident visa from UK to Australia and wishing to understand the charges that would apply for secondary school education for our 2 daughters, (13/15 years) Does anyone have any info on what the current state school charging system is for WA / VIC ? I work in the health industry as a paramedic officer in UK but looking to explore work in Mines, GP surgeries, Ambo service, Hospitals, education to work as a practitioner etc and my wife has experience in both community support for stroke victims or the travel industry as a travel agent / FX. Any suggestions on the educational charges that would apply / or ideas on employers for the above roles please feel free to share? Thank you
