Sydney or Melbourne?
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question.
I am currently working on a 457 visa at a private hospital in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne and hating every minute of it.
I am now starting the process for permanent residency and have contacted a number of nursing agencies seeking alternative employment. One has offered me a chance of a post in Westmead Hospital, Parramatta. Does anyone have any advice about working and moving and living in NSW/Sydney.
Financial Implications e.g. taxes, GST, Living Expenses etc.
All advice welcomed.

We used to live just a little bit west from Parramatta. Thinking about it, I even lived in Parramatta for a year, ages ago
I know parts of Westmead hospital pretty well. They have a good Dental Teaching hospital aswell, they even practice on patients without charging them 
Taxes GST etc will all be the same, and even most living expenses will probably be similar.

Maybe I didn,t make myself very clear I hate the job, Melbourne is ok finding locals a bit unfriendly.
