This is your lucky day Jam. My fiance (originally from the UK but worked in Oz long enough to get citizenship) worked at the Matre (pronounced martyr I believe) she's a midwife and we're planning to go back there August time. Just waiting for my visa now. We're both here in the UK at the moment so I'll ok it with her and give you her number and you can pick her brains. But I can tell you that she'll tell you to stop worrying and just do it.

She's working as a midwife here at the moment and hates it. The lack of resources etc. The Mater are holding a post open for her and we're trying to get everything done asap to get back there before they have to fill it with someone else. In nursing terms the difference between the UK and Oz are a world apart. It's so much better there the two cannot compare.
