Guest tommystewart27 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi Me and my Wife and our 2 children and her sister & fiance are trying to emigrate to Australia. I am a rental sales coordinator for pressure control in the oil & gas industry, I have 6 years experience in pressure control working on & offshore. My wife works in an after school club in our local area which works well round our 2 children, she has worked there for 6 years and is also qualified as a classroom assistant. My sister in law is a full time Nursery Nurse with her svq level 3 and has 5 years experience and her fiance is a warehouse operative within the oil industry and has 2 years experience in this and has 2 years experience as a banksman slinger also within the oil industry. My children are 8 & 4 so will need to be enrolled in school, once there. We will have equity for coming across due to the sale of our home in Aberdeen. We need information on almost everything, from visas to schooling. We would really like to know how house buying works over there, i.e mortgages and how much of a mortgage you can get with what salary. We are hoping to find work before coming across but dont know if our areas of work are relevant in Australia. Also how does the taxing system work over there and paying for health care etc.. We do not know which part of Australia we would be moving too as yet but would be hoping for west Australia or Adelade etc.. If anyone could answer these it would be appreciated Thanks Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi Tommy There seems to be a lot involved here and my advice is to contact a migration xpert we went with Go Matilda who were brilliant for us, always answered every question and email quickly. Best of luck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 You could just apply for jobs here. There is huge demand for experienced oil and gas people. Have a look at seek.com.au and infomine and infooil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
