I moved to Melbourne in 2001 and have never regretted it. My kids were 6 and 3 at the time and they have blossomed here. The education system is much more laid back and less pressured and they do such FUN stuff with the kids. School is a joy. Work is good to. they have limited nurse to patient ratios so you never end up trying to take care of 12 patients like I used to in the UK. The most I have is 5.

I used a recruitment company because they sorted everything for me - the relocation, the airport pick up, the hotel on the first night. They also helped me to set up bank accounts and get health insurance. They were really great - plus you get a migration agent for free!!!

the girl I dealt with was called Cathy - she is an ICU nurse by trade - I can't remember her email address but the company is called Plexus Recruitment - look it up in Google & drop her a line - you will like her!
