The weather in Melbourne is better than anywhere in the UK, but it seems pretty average compared to other Australian major cities. I lived there for 6 months (Dec to May) and was surprised by just how many grey days there were, which I found rather depressing. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I like to see a few hills and Melbourne is as flat as a pancake, so that didn't appeal much. I've read that in terms of climate it's comparable with Lisbon, which sounds pretty nice on the face of it. My main concern about moving to Melbourne these days would be the cost of living, rather than the weather.

Hey, is the cost of living still crazy in comparison to other states? It’s definitely a concern! Thanks 

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone on here works in CAMHS in Aus and what their experience has been. Are there inpatient and community/day clinic opportunities? Are there ASD teams (assessment and treatment) and are nurses able to assess as well as psychologists/paediatricians? Are there nurse prescribers or is this not a thing? Thanks in advance! 

Hi there, just a quick one. Is the weather in Melbourne really that bad? I’ve seen a lot of negative comments about it on here (although lots of old threads) but on paper it looks at worst pretty mild to me! I’m from the UK - so surely it’s got to be an improvement!
