Guest jfrost Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Still not sure if am using this right but trying to reply to a thread!! Anyway, my husband is a Project Manager (currently implementing lean manufactuing into Construction industry) and I am also a Project Manager (automotive ind) but now have a 21 month old daughter and not returned into work yet. Can anyone give me their thoughts on whether to rent 1st or purchase straight away when moving to Perth...? Is the rental market easy? Plus, has everyone secured a job 1st (and got company sponsorship) or done it alone? Your stories and thoughts would be appreciated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gill40 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi everyone, We are currently at the beginning of looking into migating to Perth and its all so very scary. I am fortunate that both my parents and my sister and her family live there. But I am worrying about everything like are we doing the right thing! My husband and my eldest daughter who is nearly 19 are fine about migrating but my youngest daughter who is 16 is totally not interested and has said she wont be coming with us if we go. This is making me very anxious about the whole thing cause I just want her to be happy. My husband says she is just being stubborn and will come round!! She is convinced that she will have nothing to do! We recently had a wonderful holiday out there with my family and we didnt want to come back, but yep guess what my youngest couldnt wait!! Is there anyone out there that had a similar experience - please help ! I really dont want to give up on our dream x thank you xxxx Im saying all this and we may not even get out there but I think Im having a bit of a panic attack about the whole thing xx thanks for listening and help me please ha x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always much more into wanting to start again in Oz than him. Even after a visit, he was still not fully on board. However after much talk and watching programmes I think he is begining to see it could be the making of us and we may actually be able to not struggle so much. I dont use the word 'Permanent' so much. I just keep reminding him that the UK is only a day away and we can always come back home. If he holds on to that thought he doesnt feel so confined to staying out there, although I am sure that once we arrive he will begin to see the benefits. Now, with all of these people on this website it doesnt feel so scary at all. There are so many Poms going out to Oz. I notice that so many have children who are around your daughters age. I am sure that if you keep in the loop, you and your family with be surrounded by friendly faces from the Uk to help you settle in. With plenty of handsome aussie boys over there, Im sure this may also have a positive effect on your daughter. Best of luck. PM me if need to know anything else, Neil and I would be glad to help you through the jungle of immigration and family disputes.

Just hope I can get them on the plane! never mind when the time comes we will all need to make that big decision - do we go ? and I dont want to have any regrets because if we decide not to go my husband and I certainly will have regrets not going for it x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steveholmes Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, Im flying out on MONDAY 9TH MARCH from Heathrow and going straight into perth. I have got a job with WA police and start at the accademy on 25 march for 3 months. Im just trying to sort out digs and arranging all my bits here. When do you fly over? Where abouts are you looking to stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Victoria B Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hey Steve, Wow that sounds great! I am flying direct too and will be in Perth on the 31st. I start my college course end of April. I fortunately have friends in Perth that emigrated about 6 years ago so my first 2 weeks will be with them in the Northern suburb of Edgewater. I am then going to be looking for a centrally located apartment as my college is right in the centre of the city. I have a couple of Ozzie mates too so i'm lucky really although now its getting closer the thought of leaving is really scary. So the police force? How come you chose to do that? Are you in something similar in the UK? Vicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest steveholmes Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Vicky i am looking at living on the surrounding suburbs of the city round subiacco, claremont or round there. I am trying to sort out accomodation here but estate agents want you to be there before they start helping. Sounds good for you and imagine be a busy month when you first get over there.... Ive been doing the police here and applied to go over there and its all fallen into place. I have to do 3months at police accademy so a lot of studying for me when I first get over there...... When I finish I will be working in freemantle so will always be near the sea..... You got much to wind down here? Hey Steve, Wow that sounds great!
