Hi
I hope you don't mind me asking? I am a teacher and emigrating with my partner around September time. Has your husband secured a job before going? We are going to Brisbane and I have been researching the Quennsland College of Teachers on what to do register. I'm not sure if I should try to register before going or wait till we settle in Aus. I am a secondary special needs teacher. I know friends of ours in Australia say I shouldn't have any trouble finding work although I have read in some posts on the TES that there are not as many jobs as we are led to believe.

I have trawled the internet loads over the last year (this is how long the visa took) and now am really excited and looking forward to it. There seem to be loads of IT jobs (just look on the websites detailed in the stocky posts) and I have contacted a few agencies who said that they always have jobs available so for me to aply nearer the time. (I'm an analyst by the way). My thoughts were if we are gonna do it, do it now while they are young. Although we have friends who went 2 years ago with older kids (9 and 11) and they love it and have settled, Kids miss home but don't want to come back to the UK.
That's about all I can offer at the moment - good luck
Sheila
