[HI Emma
I am also from Ireland and myself and my partner are thinking of moving to Brisbane. We have not yet applied but have met with a few agents about getting a skilled migration visa and we can apply for this.
It is just the cost as my partner has to get his skills assessed. We do hope to have started the process before Christmas.
Brisbane is the place to be so they say and it is were all the work is

Anyway I just thought I would say Hi
