Default Advice on moving to the land down under

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie on this forum - my partner and I are toying with the idea of moving to sunny Oz. Having grown up in SA and now living in the UK, I really miss the outdoor lifestyle, beaches, open spaces & of course the year round sunshine. My partner is English (born & bred) and loves the SA lifestyle and culture but going back to SA is sadly not an option and while neither of us has been to Oz but are willing to give it a go - any ideas on how we can get the ball rolling? How do we go about getting jobs, house hunting, settling in etc.? Would appreciate any advice on how much money we'll need to help us get started and whether we should consider using a visa company?

Look forward to hearing from you soon

Thanks
