HI raindodgers
there will be no problems for bricklayers over there loads of work
i only looked at the suburbs south of the river didnt do the north we will be going to mandurah( halls head or falcon )iv been told to avoid dudley park but i did take a look when i was there last week seemed to be ok to me but i got that info from my mate who is a copper over there so ill take his advice
dont know of any hospitals in that area but the rail link is being built down to mandurah from perth next year so traveling to perth centre shouldnt be to bad some on said about 40 mins by train when its done?
i have 4 kids going with me 21yr old will go to college to finish his brickwork courses other three will be in school once you get there and you have reg for tax no you can start work i was told that there is a shortage or bricklayers in wa so a start will be as quick as you want it to be
any more info i can give you just pm ill get back to you
what stage are you at with the application
all the best

the raindodgers

Thanks Way86
We are still in the discussion stage with the family
both decided that it was what we want and the kids seem keen
I think we're abit nervous about putting our feet on that first rung of the ladder
Not sure as to use an agent or not due to the fact that at present we're defacto couple and the kids mum may object
Things we need to sort ou prior to starting and spending that kind of money.

Looking at going over ourselves in april to sus things out
All the best with your move

Hey there Raindodgers

Just caught your reply and thought I may be able to offer some words of wisdom, regarding using an agent, the defacto issue and the whole visa thing itself! Me and the misses were granted PR visa,s recently so we are planning our next move now! If you want to chat, we live in wednesfield and would glady share our visa experience with you.

Good luck

Yam Yam
