Default Nursing in oz.........

Hi Folks,

MY FIRST POST!!!!!!!!

I work as a senior (ish!) nurse here in the UK and make around £30k pa...Live in a 2 bedroomed cottage with the family (wife and two small ones). Thinking about taking the plunge probably to N Queensland. My wife makes £350 pm, we have no serious debts other than 60K mortgage and £100 pm CC bill..we still struggle every month...........If I move and make 58,000 oz dollars a year and my wife stays at home are we gonna be any better off?

Depends how much cash you make on your present house to put down on a house here as that makes a big difference and how extravagantly you want to live.

Go for PR visa plenty of jobs around and you need to go to this Nurse specific part of forum to get most Nurse replies... http://britishexpats.com/forum/forum...aysprune=&f=72

If you can keep at least half of that that's still about $40,000 to put down on house here to keep mortgage small.
