moving from NZ to Aus
Hi
This is my first time on this forum so please be gentle with me...
I emigrated to NZ in Jan 2006 with my wife and kids. My wife has now indicated that she would like to look at moving to Aus so i thought i would ask a few questions on here and hope someone can help.
We have our perm residence in NZ but not citizenship so does this mean that we have to apply to move to Aus, get police checks, medicals etc and if so how long does this process take?
My wife is a primary school teacher and I am a production supervisor but have a mechanical engineering qualification. In the uk i was the engineering site manager working in a large operations team for GSK pharmaceuticals.
The area we are possibly looking at is the sunshine coast.
Any help or advise would be great.
Thanks

You would be recommended to get your (NZ) indefinite returning resident visas as soon as eligible.

Another refugee joining the trans-tasman exodus!
Wages on the sunshine coast are considered to be much lower than a lot of Australia, search on the forum to find more info on this. The lifestyle of course would go hand in hand with living in a holiday area,if that's what you want.

Re: moving from NZ to Aus
I saw on the news here in Tassy about a shortage of teachers in WA and Tassy i think they said. After being in NZ and now in Oz (Tassy) i can honestly say there is a big difference. Seems a better standard of living, more frindly too. Not been up to the mainland yet (apart from landing at Melbourne) Apply and see what happens. But you do hear a lot on TV how there sre many shortages of skilled people. Good luck.
