koxxwasp Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi, I am new to this site. We are currently on with the big move to OZ me, wife and 2 kids. A bit scared, we are working in cahoots with the guys at Workforce Solutions, so it should be pretty fast I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koxxwasp Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks to you all. This site seems very helpful and you all seem to be doing well. We are looking into whether or not we could do the whole 175 visa ourselves without the use of an agent. What are the pit falls of doing it this way and how much can you save.? My occupation is on the MODL and the SOL, I would need to use TRA for my assessment. It looks as though it is going to be a long year with a lot of paper work to fill in :wacko: Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Congratulations on the job offer. It is normal to be a little nervous and we have all been through that stage, it is the fear of stepping in to the unknown but believe me once you are here you will love it.

koxxwasp Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi again. We have just had confirmation of our visas today. Things are moving now. We have to book flights next and move out of our house later this month we are using Anglo Pacific, have any of you guys used these and are they any good I am guessing we should be out there in a month or so if all goes to plan. Really nervous now :arghh: See you soon fellow Mackayers, get the beers chilled for us. :biglaugh: John and Tara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of parties and goodbyes to deal with yet but we are all in good spirits but totally warn out with it all, we could do with a month off to recover. We will be flying on the 21st october.....wish us luck and maybee our paths may cross some day... All the best folks John and familly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxste Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks, we are hoping we are suited to life in Mackay. Is that where you live. The house feels all empty and sad now. Hi John, We landed on 26th Sept. I'm at work now and we get the keys to our house on wednesday(15thOct). I like Mackay but you will have to prepare yourself for a seriously laid back attitude which I think is a good thing:spinny: Let me know if you need anything....
