Yes you definitely need to find out more about the Visa type. It could be that its the same one we came out on - which like I say is great, BUT.....if you lose your job with them (for whatever reason) then you have 28 days to leave the country and you cant work for any other company while you're on their 457 Visa. You can however go out on a temp 457 Visa and then get them to sponsor you for a permanent visa when you arrive - which is what we did. You might be lucky though and they may go for the permanent one straight away - fingers crossed.

Try not to worry about your mums response - at the end of the day she'll just want you to be happy. Not sure if you are thinking of making it a permanent move or not I found it helped my mum (and me actually) to say that we were just going for 2 years. By that time your mum will have warmed to the idea and will hopefully have been out to visit you etc etc.
