Recruitment is probably going to be well down the track for you. Go for a permanent visa - temporary ones are far more risky, especially when you have kids - there is no guarantee that it will become...

Re: UK Passport - worth having?

Re: Medical and dental records

Re: Primary school teacher

Be aware that the job vacancies, especially for teaching, are usually offered in places that no Australian wants to live. I suspect that is what WA has in mind for its poor suckers - yes, yes we...

Re: New opportunities for UK workers

Poor suckers probably dont realise that the jobs on offer will see them in some place about as far removed from Home and Away as it is possible to get - those places where Aussies dont want to live. ...

Re: Loss Of Australian Citizenship

Re: Dealing with Guilt of moving to Australia

You've probably already screwed that up, actually. You have a 16 year old so you've effectively cemented at least his living in Australia for a good few years yet whether your wife likes it or not! ...

Re: North Lakes Murder - Emma Lovell

It was, indeed, truly tragic and I must admit I had wondered whether she may have been one of the Poms in Australia I had encountered during her journey. My sympathies to her family who must be...

Re: Dealing with Guilt of moving to Australia

Why would you expect your kids to follow you over? it's your dream, obviously, not theirs. Once they are grown up and have flown the nest they could end up anywhere. I have one here in Aus a 4...

Re: Oh. Omicron

Rather depends on the state. Victoria is more draconian than NSW for example and I believe QLD is right up there with draconian measures. Cant say that it has impacted us much but, then, we arent...

Re: GaryO's questions about moving a 15 year old to Australia

Schooling will happen for sure - until he is 17.

Generally, you will find a place to live, rock up to the local High School (within whose priority enrolment area you live) with his vaccination...

Re: Primary Schools - What's the go? - two kids
