Hi Ginny
The answer to that is anything and everything!!!!!
Really, at the moment we want advice on how to get started...do you recomend that we use one of these internet migration sites to submit our application or can we just submit it independently? how long does the process really take? Do you have any advice about where to apply for jobs and areas of Australia that currently have lots of jobs (teaching preferably!) available? Just one last question, how easy would it be for us both to buy property once we get there as we want to make this into a serious long-term (hopefully permanent) move?
Sorry there are so many questions but any tips whatsoever would be appreciated
Thanks
Susan and Rod

Be careful of what you wish for :)

If you want to DIY, you should visit http://www.immi.gov.au/ first and foremost.

Internet migration site? I wouldn't recommend anything unreliable (I'm not suggesting that internet migration sites are unreliable - I'm just saying you'll have to be sure it's reliable before parting your money for their services).

There's nothing wrong with submitting your application on your own, but be prepared for a lot of paperwork, research and fact finding on your own. Otherwise, there are a couple of reliable registered migration agents on this forum, and I'm sure they'll be glad to be of some assistance to you.


> how long does the process really take?

Skilled independent applications are quoted at 50 weeks at the moment, excluding the time taken to obtain a pre-application skills assessment, which can take about 1 to 3 months on its own.
