Hi Lisa,
Start off by looking a Dolly's new thread "Thinking of emigrating..." since that has the first steps to go through to make sure you can get in.
Dolly and I (the moderators) always recommend qualified agents since it's their job to know how to get you in the best way. It can be expensive but it's definitely worth it to get it right first time.
The "Please read..." post has job websites on it so you'll get an idea of the wages for your partner.
Money depends on where you are moving to and what you feel secure with. I remember watching those programs in the UK where people come over to Oz with hardly any money and still made a go of it. Personally I couldn't do that.
There is a "Cost of living" thread that has more info on costs over here.
Dolly also has some excellent posts on what to do before and after you move out here.
Regards,
Karen
