It might also be worth contacting the Uni and/or TAFE in the area you are going to and see if they will credit some of her study towards an Australian Qualification.

Is this enough to live comfortably without me working, we also have a 4 yo son. Also we have opted not to bring furniture over and instead are getting $6000 for furniture, appliances etc. What will we really be able to buy with this? Thanks for any help.
