kdyer12 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 My OH applied for a social work post in melbourne, we are going over on a 457 visa. She has today had an offer of 59,147 AUD salary and a relocation package of 10,827.22 AUD. Is ther anyone else going to Melbourne as a social worker and if so did they manage to negotiate a better deal? Mandy and Ken:realmad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy and Ken:realmad: Hi Mandy and Ken I was offerred a job in Melbourne with a similar salary working for the State, however they really dragged their heels on the relocation package so I declined the position as I felt the Salary was pretty low considering I was being offered a senior practitioners position. I did try to negotiate LAFHA as we were going to rent as the job offer was for two years initially, again I was being pressured to make a decision without being sure of the complete package. I think what you have negotiated is pretty good really. Hope all goes well. Take care Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdyer12 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thanks for that. Most people I have spoken to think it's a good deal. That said I do not want to be pressured to going until we have sold up!!! K&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
