Hello - New member looking for help!!
 

Hi to all at BE!

My name is Siobhan, I am married to Benny and we have two boys aged 7 and 8 and have waited a long time but at last had our 176 visa for Australia granted on 12 September - yahoooo!!

We are all very excited, but kinda don't know where to start and we are looking for advice in all area's if anyone can help would be great.

Benny is a qualified builder and we are looking to move to Perth.

Looking forward to chatting with some of you guys soon.

Welcome to BE and good luck with the move, must be very exciting!

As for help, well this is just a place to make introductions. You'll find the Oz forum - http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=54

Should be able to find a lot of great info there already is you have a quick search, immigration advice as well as general all round info and also check out the wiki up top as there's a lot of great info there too :)

Hello Soibhan...welcome to BE.

Bob has already given you the link to the Australia forums. Many of our members live in the Perth area...so you should get plenty of info and good advice from the people who post in there. I recommend you take a look in the BE Wiki. There may also be relevant information in the stickied threads or announcements that may be posted at the top of each forum's index page...please take time to read through them before you begin to post.

You may also find the Working Abroad Forum useful.

Kelli28, Sherlock Holmes and newjersey are the concierges for the Australia forums...so if you have any problems finding your way around our many forums please contact Kelli, Alistair or newjersey

For all other concerns or problems please contact a moderator or admin. Every BE forum has at least one moderator dedicated to that forum...Australia has 4...Cresta57, Monneypenny20,, Sonlymewalter and Alfresco.

I hope you enjoy your time with us and please shout out should you require any help. Good luck. :)

Hey Siobhan, that's really great. All the best in your new life in Perth :thumbup:

Re: Hello - New member looking for help!!
 

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.
