Red face Benefits of moving to Australia

Dear All,
Please forgive me if this has been done a million times, I am completely new to forums/chat rooms etc.
My husband has recently been 'given the nod' that he may be up for redundancy and we have decided to check out our options before he gets pushed. We have thought about emigrating on lots of occasions, last being before kids started school, but haven't taken the plunge because of family commitments in England. I am a nurse and have checked out jobs, it seems there are opportunities for me to get a job but not sure about my husband (who is in IT). Anyway, after all that, our main concern is whether we would be swapping one 'rat race' for another, obviously a lot of that is up to us but is the quality of life really better, are the streets really paved with gold Anyone who has moved with kids ( 6 & 3), do you think it has really benefitted them?
Thank you to anyone who isn't completely bored with all this and responds.
