Hi, newbie and confused - Thinking of moving to Australia
Hi,
My husband and I are thinking of making a move down under, we have 3 kids, I am a third year student nurse, husband is an electrician. We are house swapping with our friends in brisbane next year for a month. So, I have been reading up on a few things regarding visas, real estate, jobs etc. We aren't ready to apply yet as I have a year left at uni. All this info has left me very confused
So can anyone offer me some advice regarding what checks are carried out, i.e health, criminal record, credit checks etc. I suppose my main concern is that we have had some previous trouble (about a year ago) with repayments, no ccj's or defaults, a few late payments....would this impact the application?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
