Guest Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Depends on you, how you spend, live, where you are moving to exactly, if you have a job lined up or not, travel time to job and if you could manage with one car instead of two... so many things really, everyone is different.

Guest Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 If you don't have a job lined up I'd say 6 months of your current income. If you do have a job then it depends if you are shipping everything but you will need at least one month holiday rental so say $3000, you will need one months rental up front and a deposit so maybe $5000 Assuming you don't ship your car you'll need to replace that - second hand cars are more expensive and I think we spent close to $3000 I'd allow maybe $1000 for things you need before your shipment arrives and lifestyle differences (you might want to buy a BBQ for example, beach wear (rashies are essential for kids) etc) From the decision to migrate until 9 months after arrival we spent £70k but I know we were extravagant & that included a reccie, all agent/visa fees, shipping, flights, two months in temp accommodation, shipping a 40ft container, buying two cars (the second one was $18k I think) & so on. People arrive with $10k and survive but I would only do that if you have a job to go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Visas will be $7200 Medicals best part of £1000 Police checks not much flights about £2000 Shipping about £5000 Temp accommodation for say a month £2000 Bond and first months rent, based on Perth about £2000 for average family house Misc purchases £1000 car - second hand £2000 then, one of the big ones is living until you find a job. Allow a minimum of 3 months and ideally 6 months, which would be rent, household bills, food, petrol and day to day living. Say £6000 if you are very careful i believe you are an electrician, you would need to re train in Oz. The requirements vary by state but normally include some courses and allow £1500. Then there will be misc things like school uniforms / requirements, allow maybe £1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
