Regarding job prospects, I'll repost an earlier message:

We have been in Adelaide for 8 months now. Our reason for moving here was a inter-country company transfer for me. However my husband had to find his own job here which he did from overseas while maintaining his previous job. He's in an occupation which is on the skills shortage list for South Australia but it still took him 8 months to find a job in his field and at the same level as his exisiting job.

During that time he was working through a British employment agent in Adelaide who far from being sympathetic, kept claiming that prospective employers wanted a "South Australian candidate".

Eventually we dumped her and began applying for jobs in the newspaper and on the internet and eventually he was offered a postion in Adelaide. (In the meantime he had been offered a number of jobs in other States and we were considering having a commuter marriage).

I guess the point I am trying to make is that Adelaide is not an easy place to get a job even when your skills are in demand. The economy is not doing as well as in other States, population growth is mininmal and there is a very cliquey mentality when it comes to employing "outsiders" (even from different States).

It seems to me that new immigrants would have a better chance of employment elsewhere.

I once made the mistake of moving to a City (not Adelaide) that I had never visited and bitterly regretted it. I would really urge anyone planning to move somewhere to make the effort to visit.
FIRST.

You wouldn't even buy a house without viewing it first. So why do that very thing with the place you plan to live in for the rest of your life ? (You can move houses a lot more easily than countries or cities)
