Guest SJ Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hello! Keep reading about all the families and couples moving out to Oz and starting to wonder whether I am mad for doing it alone! Just been offered a job (subject to Visa approval) in the Sydney area!! Sort of seems an opportunity I can't say no to! Anyone else out there doing the same?? :?

Guest kazzy01 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi SJ I thought I would reassure you by letting you know that you are not the only one going it alone to Oz! I have just come back from a trip out there. I loved it out there but am too old to get a working holiday visa, but luckily thanks to my profession, should be able to get a skilled visa. I'm still in the early stages I'm waiting to hear back about my skills assessment (should hear by end of August) and fingers crossed it will be a green light so that I can send off the main application. I am undecided about where to move to, either Melbourne or Perth. I didn't really like Sydney that much, too big for my liking, but loved Melbourne. I've heard amazing things about Perth though, so even though I haven't been there, I am considering that as an option. Anyway good luck with your move.

Guest joksand Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi My recommendation to you is that you just go for it!! Believe me the decision will be a whole lot harder if sometime in the future you decide to go with an OH and a couple of kids in tow!! In hindsight, I wish we'd stayed there the first time round when we were on Working Holiday Visas, but for various reasons we thought it best to come back and give settling down a go. So, just do it!! - what's the worst that can happen?? I'm sure it'll be the experience of a lifetime and an opportunity that won't come round twice. best wishes Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
