Moving to Melbourne - professional advice
Hi there
We are thinking of moving to Melbourne - all very exciting. My husband has received a job offer so it's looking like a realistic dream. We have two children, aged five and seven so it's a big decision to make and I was wondering if there was a good source of advice for:
- checking employment contracts and packages - what's normal to expect
- advising on education - schools etc
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.
Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.
Please contact me if I can give you any further help.
