Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

17 days they have had our VISA stuff and still nowt :) .

Been in touch with my mate out there mentioned about a teaching training job i saw in Adelaide advertiser, he said i will need a basic teaching qualification when i get there and with my skills it shouldnt be much of a problem.( do you know anything about this you lurvly Adelaide folk?)

Also he said that a company he spoke to said they might be able to sort me something out when we get there hopefully Sep time, which is great news i have also got a massive list of companies that i will have to ring up and send my CV into.

Want to try and get job pretty much sorted before we go :thumbsup:

were hopefully going for our meds next month we have been quoted £715 for the lot thats me mrs and 4 kids 15,14,9, and 3 not bad me thinks.

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

Can't help with teaching jobs I'm afraid, not my thing (there are quite a few advertised every week though). That med price sounds good, it cost me that much for 3 adults (one 18) and 2 kids a year last November!

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

Hi all
As some of you are aware we (me, hubby, 3 ish kids, 16, 14 and 12) will be going to Adelaide. We haven't decided where yet. Our friends are going on the 3rd June and we will be meeting them there.:thumbup:
Wendy. I took my son the an NHS psychiatrist and she has given him the all clear.:rofl: The panel doctor has confirmed receipt of this. We have an appointment for my other son's echo cardio gram for the 23rd May. We have decided to take this appointment and save the £150.it would have cost to go private. Once this has been done all our medical information will be sent to the processing centre. Our agents have said they are keeping them informed of our appointments.
Hopefully will still be on track for September this year.Have arranged to have the house valued on 28th April, just need a plasterer now to finish the kitchen and rendering.
Regards Jackie

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

I'm not sure. I'll look into it for you. There are lots of new suburbs being built so I should imagine there is, but will look in the job paper on Saturday and see how many are advertised. :)

That's great news, see you in September :)

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

WOW Paula I can't believe you will be going so soon you lucky thing you :D our medical reached Sydney yesterday so it shouldn't be too long until our visa is granted fingers crossed.
Anyone know much about Eden hills and the school there in Blackwood? I'm still toying with there and Paradise.

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

You have to have clocked up 4 years residency to be able to apply for citizenship, but it doesn't have to be within the 5 years validity of the visa.

The visa has a (RRV) Residents Return Visa, which lets you in and out of the country for the first five years. Once that part of your visa has expired you will then either need to be a citizen or apply for another RRV to be able to travel outside Australia and be let back in. To apply for a RRV you generally have to have been in Australia for 2 out of 5 years (I don't think that part is changing).

Immigration, Citizenship and RRV conditions vary greatly and most people get them confused, but I hope that clears it up for you a bit. :)

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

Nothing wrong with Blakeview IMO. Both my children went to Blakeview Primary and loved it. Infact I am looking to move again and have asked the children where they would like to move to if we do and there answer is Blakeview without a douwt. There is Trinity private school there and Craigmore high for the older ones and a few more primary and Catholic schools if prefered.Bigger blocks of land etc. Need any more info ask away. I won't be afraid to answer questions on Elizabeth or Smithfield either as I rented a brand new house in Smithfield plains when we first came and can honestly say we had no problems. In five years time this is going to be one of the best areas to live in supposedly with all the new defenc houses going up etc. Don't judge any suburb until you have either lived in it or know someone who lives in it.:)

Re: The Adelaide Thread
 

I think Dorothy and wendy having been listening to the fairies,:huh: have lived in the northern suburbs for most of the 43 years in Adelaide, elizabeth, smithfield do have some bad areas [Davoren Park] but so doe,s the rest of Adelaide, Glenelg a large drug problem, muggings etc.
Check out an area by its demographic,s if you are not sure.............:thumbup: mm
