It was suggested in a recent discussion in the Australian forum that it would be great if BE members who have long since settled in Australia were available to help newly arrived migrants. From that discussion came this list. It's very new and only our first draft but hopefully it will grow and grow and become a useful resource for you all.

Members have added their names to the list and are available to assist in a variety of ways; from advice, to picking up someone at the airport or even meeting for a coffee or two. First point of contact is to PM, (Private Message), the member concerned via their username and take it from there.

Please use the contact us form if you have a comment about this list or if you are a member and would like to add/remove or edit your details.

Do not abuse the good nature and kindness of our members who have voluntarily added their names to this list, anyone found doing so will be banned from this site.
Note: This list is NOT to be used for commercial purposes.
