Perth, WA do or dont?
So, After trawling this forum ten years ago and receiving fantastic advice! Being a young dumb single man before my big move to Doha, Qatar, I'm hitting you guys back up for a new move.
Now is the time to move to Perth.
I really need some do and don'ts. Moving now with a 3-year-old.
Best areas to live? Best schools? Comparisons, price wise between Qatar and Australia?
Apologies for the generic questions, guys. I'm also working my way through the forums

Probably more a question of where you can obtain a rental. Very scarce at the moment.

Never realised WA were only offering 190’s if you have a job offer… that makes me sad it’s so difficult to get any sort of interview when you are overseas

Best areas to live? Cottesloe, Dalkeith, Peppermint Grove, City Beach, Nedlands, Applecross
Best schools? Perth Modern, St Hilda's, Christ Church, Penhros, Methodist Ladies (note - only Perth Modern is state, the others are private)
Do make sure you have a visa. Don't underestimate how far Perth is from anywhere else.

As for the OP my advice would be join expat groups on social media. There are discussions like this several times a day so you are bound to get heaps of replies there aswell, then you will be able to gauge If it's the right move

This. I'm reading posts everyday from Ireland/UK struggling to find rentals here. Was reading a post yesterday from someone claiming they are looking at 5 properties per day and can't get a rental with their B&B running out soon. This no doubt is the biggest hurdle in getting settled here so have some sort of plan to prepare for this.
