Medical was easy-ish until the Doc' said my son had a heart murmur, a scan later, a month later, and all was good. ATN

When things 'change', they change their minds. ATN

Form 80 is one beast of a document! I remember filling it out in huge detail. Worth doing the best you can (on all other queries). ATN

Sorry for the depressing title! My wife and I were discussing this possibility last night. "What would happen to our 3 children if both of us died in a taxi home on a night out?"... (for example!) Has anyone on this planned for this, albeit unlikely, but possible, scenario? Do you nominate people to step in here, or take the children back in to the country of origin. If so, I'd like to know what you planned, and how you planned it. ATN

What state are they hoping to be nominated by? ATN

I presume you are looking at State Sponsorship (Victoria) if applying under Primary Teacher? How many years' experience have you? ATN

So the Police Check has not been submitted? ANT

I think it reads pretty explicitly, they're looking for 5 years work experience as a Registered Nurse in the Critical Care and Emergency field. Or did you add in the bracketed text? ATN

Interesting figures, thanks for sharing. ATN

Great story Paul. Good for you all. ATN

Nice one Paul, Oz awaits you! What state will you relocate to? ATN

1) Climate 2) Opportunity 3) New beginnings 4) Let's see what happens 5) Dual Citizenship (Irish / Australian) 6) Adventure No regrets 18 months on! ATN

Well done, you. ATN

Don't let any minors dictate anything. It's not their choice, I'm afraid. We moved 16 months ago with 3 kids (8, 6 5) and we're all loving it. Their happiness will actually be somewhat linked to how 'involved' you get with their school, their new friends parents, any sporting scenarios that require extra curricular social inputs. Being brutally honest, if you show any weakness, they will pick that up, and you'll have a problem. We've had a ball here the last year and a half, everything has worked out and the best is yet to come, our kids have grown immensely at all levels - every morning I thank my lucky stars we made the move.

Party time. Enjoy the build up to departure!
