Hi everyone, Im 22 and live in South East England with my partner who is 24. I work as a Nanny/Childminder and my oh is a CNC Engineer. My oh mentioned a while ago about the idea of going to Australia for a few years to work, and now I cant get it out of my mind. But Im thinking of in maybe 4 or 5 yearss time as Id like to start a family first and save up enough 'back up money'!
Just thought id introduce myself as im sure I will be lurking for a while!![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Right then, some questions I have if anyone is bored!:
I have no idea about the different areas of Australia, where is good/bad places to go? Good for Engineers or Childminding? Good for cheap rental homes?
What is the weather like? Where abouts is it hottest and coolest, or ideally in between!
How soon should you apply for a visa etc. before you want to go? Ie how long does it all take?
How much savings do you think is a safe bet to go with?
If for instance you are pregnant or get pregnant over there, do you automatically get transfered onto the smp and rules over there?
What is this medicare stuff and what does it cost?
How much roughly does it cost to apply and do the whole visa and medical process etc?
That had beter do for now

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies, especially the weather one, as that is really important. Ive been doing lots of research and know more about Australia than I do of England!
Im sure I will be asking more questions soon!
