Adelaide
Hi Dog,
We're heading out to Adelaide on the 7th May.I'm a Midwife and came over a couple of weeks ago to have a look around at houses and hospitals etc.
My 10 year old daughter came along too (left hubby & son behind!) and we both loved it !! I know it was only for a couple of weeks and like a holiday but we just felt comfortable there straight away.Had never been to Oz before .
Any tips on good,or not so good Hospitals?
I was offered 3 jobs in the space of a week !! so I don't think any Nurses or Midwives out there don't need to worry about employment.
We are looking at living in the Flagstaff Hill area....it appears very nice, any opinions would be greatfully accepted though!!
I'm new to this site too,so i hope i've posted this right!

I've been a patient at Women's and Children's and have to say I thought it was a great hospital, don't know if it is the same being on staff.
I am originally from Adelaide, my family still lives there and let me tell you house prices are going up.
A few areas I do know to avoid are Elizabeth, Salisbury, Woodville and Kilkenny.

Blimey....this is a busy forum!!
Will try and get back to all, once I've figured out how to work this forum properly.
I assume that I might be able to type out a list...then attach to an e-mail for those that want it?
As I said, I wouldn't want to offend anyone by posting publicly.
Will give it a go, but bear with me

We are planning to head for Brisbane but as I am also a nurse I would be grateful to hear what you feel are the main differences between working here and in Oz. What speciality are you in? I'm A&E. How does the pay compare relatively?
Any information gratefully received!

Difficult for me to comment, cos all States are different, but on the whole, I haven't found too many difficulties slotting in.
I'm in mental health, and pay-wise...I do ok. I have a much bigger house than in the UK, pool, etc etc.
BUT....I still have a mortgage to pay, still have crap days (same poo- different country), pools are nice-but a pain in the rear to clean etc,etc

Hi Dizzy
Flagstaff Hill...good spot, near Flinders Medical Centre, just down the road from me. We could probably wave to each other from our back yards

Makes a nice change from the negative posts from the "We are too brainy, sophisticated, rich and up ourselves " brigade.

Couldn't someone who's gotten "The List" sort of "by accident" put it on the forum?
Thanks

Thanks Dog,
Have just accepted a post at Flinders Private ,so hope I've done the right thing !
Nice to know that Flagstaff Hill seems to be a good area.We certainly liked it.
Any tips on schools? Have 2 children 6 & 10,so will be in primary.We had a look at Flagstaff Primary and were impressed,but are we missing anything??
Have you any info on the housing market?Rental seems to be really hard to find in that area.We also need some temporary accomodation until our belongings arrive.so any ideas about holiday lets etc would be a great help.
Sorry to bombard you with all this,but time suddenly seems to be going so fast and there's so much to do !!
Many thanks

Can't really help about Flagstaff Primary...although I haven't heard anything bad about it.
Rental.............dunno, we bought after about 2 months! We didn't want to move the kids around too much.
Are you using the meet and greet service? that offers trust housing for the first 3 months...we found it very useful
