Guest Brissydeb Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is a decent wage in Queensland (Gold Coast) for a family of 5 to live on. My OH is a lift mechanic and will not be able to get his electrical licence until some time after we arrive in Oz (hopefully next summer) so his wage will not be that great until he gets the licence but I'm not sure of even the `start' wage as the companies we have contacted are a bit vague to say the least. I will be getting a part time job as soon as I can. After watching all the programmes `Wanted Down Under' and hearing that the salaries are lower but the food prices etc are the same as UK I cannot understand how people can manage it and my OH is getting really worried about this (as am I). Now all the equity in our house has disappeared the depoist for a house in Oz has also gone. Thanks for any advice. Debs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donovan Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hiya Deb, not sure about a lift mechanic, I am sure someone will be along to answer your question, where are you planning to live on the Gold Coast, we have been here since Aug 07, and love the GC, good luck with your visa process and keep us all informed.
