'Millions' do not travel to Australia every year and most of those who do do not migrate there.

Re: move to australia from uk newbie any help!
Michelle,
I think everyone here is wishing you well and willing to help but the helpfulness of the replies tend to have a direct correlation to the effort and research put in by the OP.
So asking "where to live in Australia" and "how much for a rental" without narrowing it down to a state/city or stating what your budget is will undoubtedly attract unhelpful replies.
It's like someone saying where should I live in America and how much will it cost me? Well if you live in Manhattan, NYC it will cost you quite alot. If you live in the desert in Nevada it will cost you less. As much as the answer doesn't help, neither does the question.
The first thing you should do is look at the Australian government immigration website. Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection
Read about the visa's and eliminate any that are not applicable to you.
Then look at the visa's that are applicable to you, if any. I like to think there is a visa for almost everyone but it will depend on your circumstances. Learn about Skillselect, skills assessments and assessing authorities, the points system, SOL and CSOL, state sponsorship and any other requirements or elements that may help you to get the points you need. It's not rocket science, it just takes a day or so of your time to get an idea of what is required.
From this research you can then ask more informed and specific questions which people here may be able to help you on. If you can't be bothered to research or don't have the time then you are best to ask a registered migration agent.
Toes.

If her partner applies to emigrate on a skills visa she would go on that same visa, as a dependent. Very different scenario.

Yes, I meant to say she could go her partner's visa (as a dependent) rather than go on a partner visa.

"Have they started showing 'Wanted down under' again?"
that create comments like these:
"I'm not so hypersensitive i just dont see the point in you commenting silly jokes if its nothing to help. "
"Chances you'll ever live in Aus are slim to non-existant."
A PM
"PMs aren't meant to be used to send nasty little messages"
"Chill"

Re: move to australia from uk newbie any help!
I have also spoken to visamigrate.com they have said i would have to to show 5 yrs manager experience with a reference and take a test, if i scored enough i could go anywere in aus if not only northern.I am not just a beauty therapist i can do alot of jobs with this qual,Massage therapistSalon managerVocational teacher They also said i would need to apply for a 457 permanent visa costing family around 2400 they never mentioned sponsored visa Count me if this us all wrong info
Never touch an "agent" that is not MARA. I, again, suggest Go Matilda.
Second, there advice that you can go anywhere in Oz with your skills seems incorrect - not surprised given they are not actual agents.
Business sponsored visas such as a 457 are not permanent visas and need to be considered very carefully as they have a number of drawback.
Firstly, several states charge 457 holders fees (in the thousands) for children's education.
If you were to lose your job, then you would have 90 days to find another company willing and able to sponsor or leave the country. Note, not all companies can sponsor.
The partners of 457 holders can find it difficult to find work, as they are only temporary. He would not be allowed to apply for work as a prison officer as that requires permanent residency.
You would need to assume that you would be returning to the UK at the end of the visa.
With an occupation on the CSOL, you may qualify for a 190 visa with state sponsorship. However, you would need to be aware that some states - particularly the Northern Territory (NT) routinely refuse 190 and offer a 489 instead as this ties people to the state.

Re: move to australia from uk newbie any help!
I will touch on a couple of your other questions.
First, as mentioned I am a geologist working in the mining industry. I live in Mandurah which is a regional city south of Perth and fly to work at a small town called Norseman for two weeks at a time, then fly home for a weeks break. If you look at a map of Australia, Norseman appears very close to Perth. Yet, it is about the same distance as Aberdeen to London. So, the country is huge. In Norseman, you can buy a 3 bedroom house on a 1000 meter block for $40k. In the nearest city - Perth, you would pay 10 times that and on a tiny block of land. That is how variable it is just between two fairly close places. So, it is impossible to tell you how much you will pay for things across the entire continent. Have a look at the map below and think about how prices might vary across Europe.
Second, jobs. Jobs in some areas are harder to find than others. Perth, for example is suffering a major downturn due to the mining downturn. As a result, there are many applicants for things like the prison service. I applied for the WA prison service over a year ago. I passed all the test and was accepted into the pool - here you don't just pass and get offered a job, you go into a group (pool) of people that they can during a year offer a contract to. However, they have not offered a contract to anyone this year and after Christmas, if I want to be considered for jobs in 2016, I need to reapply and undergo all of the tests again in order to get into the 2016 pool. So, there is no guarantee he will get a prison job. If he doesn't, then what else is he qualified to do?
