Hello! I have just joined your lovely forum and have had a good look around. I have dreamt about making the move to Oz for at least a decade! And I've finally managed to convince the hubby that it is a good idea!! (I hope I'm not wrong ) We are just starting our in-depth research now so I know we are a while away from the big move. We are thinking of relocating to Perth, however this would be dependant on the availability of jobs for us both. We also have 4 children (ages 6, 8, 11 and 13) so at least 2 of them will be teens when we move. Has anyone else successfully made the move with teens? Any tips on making the process easier for them? I know it can take a while before you are in invited to apply for your visa after submitting your EOI so would you recommend submitting asap just in case? My concern is that it all happens to quickly and we won't have time to complete our research - I know this is unlikely, but I'm just being cautious! Perhaps it would be better to wait until we've done all our research before submitting the EOI? Thank you for your time and I look forward to reading your replies

Hello All, My name is Cybil and I'm happy to be joining the forum. I am currently trying to migrate to Australia through 457 sponsorship since I have a degree from there already. I have fallen in love with Australia and would like to work there professionally for a time. Hopefully I can get to know some of you well :smile:

Hi Everyone! After living for 10 years in the UK, we are now making the big move to Sydney with a permanent job at Sydney Univ. We are a family of three, with thousands of questions which I hope some of you can help us with. We are moving at the end of June as I begin my post on 1 July. Two main issues for now: - Health insurance: are they all the same?? Is Bupa ok? - Blue Mountains: after looking at the crazy rental prices in Sydney, the Blue Mountains seems to offer quite a nice lifestyle, despite the looooong commute. I would be working at home some days of the week, but just wondering how common is it for people to commute from the Blue Mountains to Sydney. Thank you !!

Hi everyone! First of all I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Rebecca Hartstrom, a noob here from Sydney. I hope to meet a lot of new acquaintances/friends here. I promise to help out anyone too who has questions about how to pursue their dream jobs and give some job searching tips as well. Again I hope everyone is having an awesome week!
