Guest Richy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi all, Myself, my wife and daughter have just started the visa process, I'm a mechanic and my wife is a clerical worker for NHS,we're hoping to head for Brisbane, but, the more research we do, the more confused we become! I hope this sounds familiar... The only thing we are certain of, is that we want to go A.S.A.P!! This seems a great site and really encourages when needed. Any advice on job finding, schools etc. would be really appreciated, Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi Richy Welcome to PIO, there are quite a few people on here who are in or headed towards QLD, so they'll be a a mine of information. Australia migration - suburb profiles, accommodation, schools, real estate, jobs in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Darwin and Hobart also has a section on Brisbane - don't know how good it it for suburbs/schools but may be worth a look Good luck with the process Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hiya guys welcome to poms in oz ,we came out here last november hubby is a diesel mechanic and im a support worker,Brisbane really has too many nice suburbs to choose ,its a tough job !!Its easier if you write a list of what you want in an area,how far to beach?,schools? shops?etc,work seems readily avail so shouldnt cause much of a problem,have a look at real estate.com for property prices as suburbs vary greatly and this may help narrow down areas,,hope this helps a bit ,,post away with any questions ,someone will be able to help,, Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulnLisa Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi Tony, welcome to PIO we were also very confused to begin with and wanted to go asap!! We started on the visa road in July last year and we fly to Brisbane on 5th August and can't wait!! :v_SPIN: Believe me before you know it you'll be in the same position!!

Anyway good luck with your search! Lisa x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice on job finding, schools etc. would be really appreciated, Cheers, Tony hi we only started visa process in January, has tooks ages getting employers references, finally have got them all for the TRA. City and guilds has held us up also my husband is a plasterer and we are wanting to go too around brisbane area. We are considering going over on a temporary visa 3months to 4 years and getting sponsorship through a recruitment agency, they search for companies looking for skills in demand and help you. Even though we have enough points, its quicker this way and you have to work for the company for 2 years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Els-Bells Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi and welcome guys, we are relativley new to PIO too and so far have had loads of our questions answered and at times just nice to know that we aint the only ones going through the emotions getting a Visa brings. We are also headed for Brisbane but really cant seem to decide on which suburb to choose as they all seem to have pros and cons,main things we are looking for are good schooling and quite a busy little place as we are city people to begin. Anyway goodluck with things and remember to keep us informed on how things are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
