Re: Moving from Dubai
We arrested confused about where to move as my husband will work for the same company remotely with some trips every 3 months to the head office . I was thinking of geelong or Adelaide. What would be your suggestion

Re: Moving from Dubai
If it is state nominated, then you need to live and work in that state.
Edit - if you do not follow the rules of your visa, you can be deported.

How did your husband get his visa?

Re: Moving from Dubai
You really need to check which visa, and how.
If it is 491, and state nominated then you need to live in that state and that state only.
It still requires IELTS, and minimum points but is provisional. If you do not meet criteria, you will not be able to make it permanent and can be deported.

Re: Moving from Dubai
Come back and let us know definitely which visa you are on, and which State you will be in, then we can help more

Re: Moving from Dubai
Unless paying for private schooling, schools will be dependent on where you live - and finding a home is very challenging - limited rentals / expensive to buy
Getting back to your husbands visa, he will know if he applied to / nominated a state. And not all occupations are open to sponsorship in every state or have additional criteria. Hopefully you can narrow it down from there.

Re: Moving from Dubai
I checked my visa grant notice but it only mentions state sponsored - not which state. Not the same visa class as yours, but I knew I applied direct to South Australia. This is why I live in the Adelaide area but have been in a few suburbs which were initially dependent on where I could afford to rent and fairly central as I was not sure where I would find work.

yes houses are limited . We are first looking at the schools then to rent in the catchment. Is that better? Becoz work as I mentioned will be remote for my husband and I’ll look for something once settled
