Re: Working in North Ryde; where to live??

Re: Gone on your own?

Came out last year on my own. Best thing I ever did. Wish I did it 10 years ago now. Go for it, at the end of the day there is nothing stopping you returning if it doesn't work out for you. As...

Re: Best Indian in Sydney?

Problem with many Indians here is that they all serve chicken thighs (well a problem if you are a chicken curry fan) They also nearly all hinge their menu on dreadfull 'butter chicken'

Re: Mortgage Stress! - How to Save your Home.

There's a laugh, getting a house for 500K. Try double that. 10x a GOOD income, now who is going to give you a mortgage for that, and even if they did you couldn't afford the repayments.

Hi,

Re: Weather in Sydney

Re: Any OT's moving to Australia?????

Not an OT, but to answer your question on medicals... It's just a chest x-ray for 457 (check for TB). Your employer will probably want a basic medical to ensure you are fit for purpose though.
