Hello and a big welcome to BE.

Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading.

Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font.

Please contact me if I can give you any further help.

Hi Nolan8

Welcome to BE.
I recommend you pop in and check out our Australia forum where you will find plenty of expats who are living and working in Perth, many of them will be only too happy to give you all the information you need to help you along with your plans. There are plenty of mums with youngsters too so you will be in good company.
You can find this forum by clicking the 'forum index' tab at the top of this page. Scroll down the list of countries, double click on Australia and you're in. Just say Hi and take it from there.
We also have an engineering forum, which you will also find on the forum index page - it is in the section entitled 'working abroad by profession' - hubby may want to have a peep in there.

That just leaves me to wish you all the very best with your planned move and I hope you enjoy making new friends here on BE

HI nolan 8 your engineering experence will allow you to diversify into other
branchs of engineering , as I had to do when i came here in 1966 as a toolmaker of plastic injection moulds. there are no mass production companies in WA,may I suggest a website called SEEK WA which advertises jobs in WA.I am now 87 Ex Royal Navy WW2 veteran. <<<snip>>>
