Have you seen Crocodile Dundee? If not, it would be a primer for you about life in the Northern Territory.

But why did the agent say you have to go to NT anyway? There is no visa which compels anyone to live in a specific location. Well not unless it is employer sponsored in which case you would have to be where the job is.

Re: Moving from Liverpool to NT
I have no idea why we can only move to NT , on the process it just says only to NT , but if I get a job in Melbourne I would have to apply to someone to grant me to move , don't know what to think about it if I'm honest... What do you think?

So firstly, go back and ask them which visa they are suggesting for you and why

There was a poster on here called Geordie Mandy, she still pops in at times and she lived up here with her family for a few years. Have a read of some of her posts.

Thanks for the heads up on that one ! I don't think I want to risk going to Darwin with the weather extremes !

Neither the 190 or489 though can compel you to actually live in the NT. The worst case is the 489 which would compel you to live in a regional area. Not the end of the world as some of the regional areas are where many chose to live anyway

We went straight to Darwin and spent 4 happy years there. Yes, the wet season weather was a shock but the 6 month dry season is beautiful x

Sorry for not mentioning you earlier - I just couldn't think who it was that had started off there and was still posting!

And the other thing, is that no visa will compel you to live in one specific location.

Re: Moving from Liverpool to NT
Migrate me who are dealing with my application for PR said I would need to go to NT at first and if I had a job in another location then I would have to apply to local government to change states. Is this true?
