Top tips to new migrants and would be migrants, as there is a few people I know gone over and totally ignored some of my experiences that I found out at my PERIL......might be got the t-shirt syndrome but also good points to consider on your move.....

Number 2, UNLESS YOU ARE FOR SURE DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET WITH AN EMPLOYER.. you will probably want to change your job or location when you get there

Number 3, Dont start comparing prices and comparing like for like, it isnt, some minor things are but just enjoy the new stuff and get ust to it... its your nwew life.

Number 4, Dont worry Tesco will be on its way to Aus sooner than you think!

I'm an NHS nurse and the staffing levels in the UK are awful. My friend works in Oz and the staffing levels are much better. I know that I am safer with nurses who have time to care for me. I'm 100% supportive of nurses in NHS as the vast majority do their absolute best in very difficult circumstances. I'll take my chances with Oz health system both as employee and patient.
