Congratulations! How exciting ! Just curious what job you have ?

I never mentioned anything about being worried - it was just a question

Lovely to hear you got to move out in 2017! Was once a year hard or did you both get use to it as time goes on?

Today I have been thinking ‘if we make the move how often will I see my parents’ so I thought I’d come on here and see how often people saw their families once in Australia. obviously everyone’s circumstances are different as some may not be close to parents so rarely see them but others may have close bonds with parents and see a few times a year maybe - again depending on money, work etc.

Thank you

This link no longer works, is there an updated link?

Any news yet Emma? My fingers are crossed for you x

Thanks for the info, I’m aware of all the costs once we get there etc a lot of our money is in our house so we could have a bit depending on what we decide to do! My main reason for posting was the cost of the visa process (I should have made that clearer)

Thanks for the info Jsmull87 it is all very useful! Congrats on your visa grant you must be so excited! Did you guys go through an agent for your move??

Hi guys, We are looking to make the move to Australia in the near future, we are in no rush to make this happen but would like it to happen in the next few years. We have been doing research on how much the whole process could cost and read peoples suggestions of having at least 35k, I know it’s not going to be cheap but I would like to know if anyone would like to share their journey & how much was spent to get everything sorted to get out there. We will be a family of 4 from UK & husband will apply for 189 skilled visa (carpenter) our children under 5. Some costs I have come across are: 189 skilled visa for a family of 4 - 4,310GBP & Full medicals for a family of 4 - 780GBP I know there are additional cost such as skills assessment, white card, police checks, IELTS test, shipping (mostly only tools) - could anyone give any advice on costs for these or anything I may be forgetting. Also can anyone recommend any agents or any recommendations at all which could help us. Thanks in advance

I have been wondering how the Brit’s who have immigrated have coped with working outside in the heat?
