Default Starting out!!! Need advice

We are in the first throws of looking to move to Australia, application for visa and jobs are in place, can anybody give us a rough guide to how much it will cost in total (2 dogs to go too and we estimate a 20ft container........) and what we are likely to expect timewise?

Costings depend on whether you use an agent to go or not..

Here is a rough idea...

Agents Fee £ 1500
Skills app £ 150
VISA £ 900
Medicals £500 for 2 kids 2 adults.

Container 20ft £ 4000 - £ 5000

Dont know about dogs sorry !!

Timelines are about 2 months for skill processing...

6 - 12 months for VISA processing...

You need to be a little more specific on the VISA you are applying for as well..

But I would say 1 year and £9000 inc flights could get you there !!

As I said all a rough estimate !

Thanks Nick - we thought about 12k - we both work for the ambulance service which are recruiting from the uk so we are not using an agent - just need to sort the dogs out now!!!!!

Should get a 20ft container for £3200+ if you shop around. £4000-$5000 is expencive, in my humble opinion.

And dont forget if the dogs need there jabs before you go, make sure that they dont have lepto - otherwise it will be a no go!

Good Luck
