Another newbie- Scotland to OZ
Hi,
i've just joined this site today and i have to say it's brilliant, you people have a great sense of humour.
I'm a newlywed looking for new horizons. My husband and i (still love saying that lol) have decided we need a new life, a better quality of life and have decided Austrailia might be able to give us that. I am so excited at the prospect.
Mark has an auntie in NSW, Shell Harbour i think. So we are going to visit her and see a bit of the country with a view to emmigrating. Mark is also doing his degree and hopes to become a computer programmer in the next 3 years. After that we hope to have everything in place to come to OZ.
Any advise u have would be great, particularly on timelines for visa etc. When should we start applying, does it take years and start preparing now or months so wait till we r ready to move?
But most of all i'm really keen to make friends and hopefully meet u all wen i get out there

Hi Carrie
Welcome to BE!!
Myself and OH are planning on gold coast in Queensland. We are still at the beginning of the process (Trade skills assessment). As for timelines it really depends on what visa you will be going on. We are going on a skilled-sponsored (subclass 176, state) we have been told from between 9-15months from our agent.
Good luck with whatever you decide

Hi Andrea
thanks for replying, was beginning to think no one wanted to talk to me
.
I think QL looks beautiful. Although it seems hard to pick an area there are so many lovely places. We will prob go over on a skill/sponsered visa too, gos it's all so daunting lol.

Thanks to everyone who's replied.
Trevski- Would there be graduate jobs available to my husband or would it be best for him to get a year or so's experience?
