Re: Compassionate flights - are they available

So sorry to hear about that. We were upgraded on the trip home when my mum passed away. It was a good few years ago though and I don't know how they found out, just from me ringing to book the...

Re: Living on $40k a year

Thanks so much, always great to hear from someone with something to add to the thread rather than someone just jumping in to try to start an argument. I agree with you, it doesn't have to cost much...

Re: Living on $40k a year

That's fantastic, you're adapting extremely well by the sounds of it. Start investing if you can, while you're young and you should soon have money to spare after all bills :fingerscrossed:

Re: Living on $40k a year

That's a bugger, although you may be able to get around it. There are many lovely and parts of Aus where they can't get anyone to work. Your hubby would be in demand I would have thought.

Re: Living on $40k a year

Thanks for that! It seems to work on paper but just wanted reassurance. Worst case scenario I'd fly back to Aus for a short contract to pay for non average costs. Going to try it from Feb next year...

Re: Advice

Have you approached the Child Protection Depts in Victoria and WA? I'm pretty sure that they do sponsor workers. The salaries and cost of living are a lot more in line with each other.
