Look though the forums for advice on agents.. There a few common ones mentioned here, and make sure that they are registered , and give you a full cost breakdown etc.

Hi all,
We (cairsty & neil) are 2 weeks into the expats site - have been thinking about emmigrating for 2 years - finally decided it's time to go. OH is a spark. We want to go to Adelaide (went last year - fab) We've got 2 girls 3 & 8.

We are just starting to gather TRA info - found the guy who trained neil (16 years ago) this afternoon and he remembers him:rofl: if thats a good thing:lol: which will help with the apprenticeship details.
Here goes guys - lets have fun on the rollercoaster ride!!!!:eek:
