Re: Working For Yourself??????
All depends on how much money you are bringing with you. I'm currently setting up a business and obviously it is slow at first. If we were paying a mortgage and car loan we would be struggling (ie broke).
Otherwise I'd say go for it. Far nicer than working for someone and the only way you'll make a decent living in Australia.
Have a look at the Victoria gov website, it's very likely you'll need stacks of licences - they love red tape here :-((

Re: Working For Yourself??????
If you have decided, go for it. Initially 6 months, I would suggest work for someone, get the feel of it...Even when you trying for a job, you can try get some clients..by some advertising, maybe distributing advertising leaflet... design a decent website..
I work for myself for last 9 months and initially it would be rather difficult but eventually you will be able to cover your rent and other expenses
then u go from there..

(WE LOOKING AT MOVING TO MELBOURNE IF ALL GOES TO PLAN)A low risk option would be to rent a room in a health club. Overheads would be limited and she would have an immediate client base. It's a shame you guys are not here now, as it's a service I am considering introducing in my club (700 females).
Nothing ventured nothing gained - Go for it.
Good luck.

Hi Liz,
Did a search and found this website that might help. Thought you might find someone on there to contact regarding setting up a business.
Hope it helps,
Hels
