em&paul Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi All, OH is a chippy and we're looking at Perth. I looked at the Aussiemove.com site and its quoting cost of living in Perth $1153 per week with a mortage - seems to have gone up recently OH has been told that working he is looking at $30 per hour Does anyone think this is about right for both?? Also if I work out there I would like to work in a pre-scool or kindergarten. Does anyone know what an average hourly rate would be? I'm doing my qualification now. Thank you.:goofy: Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em&paul Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Thanks for the reply. Since we posted this thread we've been going round and round in circles trying to weigh up the pros and cons of the best places to live, work etc in Oz and we've finally settled on Tasmania. I eventually rang a few recruitment agencies and companies direct to get an idea of hourly rates for carpenters but such a wide difference all over. See you on 1st June.

Guest Rickard Family Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Emma i was reading a thread earlier that stated that there is not alot of call for carpenters in perth don't know if anyone else can shed any light on this:notworthy:, i notice you have now decided on Tasmania. in the begining we had decided gold coast but hubby a bit worried about working in the humidity so choose perth, but now maybe reconsidering GC as property (so we have been told) are all timber framed and wages are meant to be higher. good luck,Lou.

em&paul Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi When we where deciding on where to go both Perth and Brisbane seemed to have jobs available for carpenters. OH didn't think it would be a problem to get work and found lots of job offers on different websites, have a look on SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site.
