I am an It Manager for a large Insurance Company, MCSE qualified, ITIL Service Manager and also Prince2 Project Manager Qualified, Security Cleared and I have a history in the Armed Forces....

My wife and I are thinking of moving to australia for a betetr standard of living, I love my job and the trade I have... I want to continue to work in IT in the future.

My wife Rachel is a care worker for the disabled and homebound.

We are not sure of the process for the Visa and the best place to look at jobs and houses. We have some savings and an amount on equity on our current house which would hopefully be used ot help us move and either rent intially or buy.

The advice I am looking for is where are the best places to get the information on jobs and houses. Any advice from people who have moved in either of the trades is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks in advance
Carl

PS: Not sure you would necessarily obtain a better standard of living, maybe a different quality of living perhaps? Best ask others who have a similiar background to yourself and your wife and have made OZ their home. Some find they have to take a lesser position and income compared to what they were used to, to get a 'leg in the door'.
