Hi there...!

Sorry OOt, Are you thinking of moving south?

Go google, many have done so. If you are single, i'd say, just do it. If married, start discussing with your other half

Hey Daffodil,

I moved to Perth in WA.As my partner went there for her studies, then decided to stay there. And i liked the place when I made my first visit in 2006, so kinda made long term plans to move there. And its just 5 hours away from Sg, its kinda like driving from Sg to KL.

Thanks for the motivational words Heard many Singaporeans live in Perth. I haven't made any application yet will try the PR route and if it doesn't work I have also planned to do my masters there......but that route will be costly especially with 2 young kids.

Are you in the CBD area? Heard that Melbourne is more condusive for families and perth for singles, any thoughts?

Thanks Thinking of moving to Victoria, both H and me want to migrate as its very difficult here to balance work and family.......its like either work or family. No wonder many Singaporeans stay single these days.

I am thinking of migrating to Victoria, but I heard from friends that SA will be easy to get? not sure if this is true. If you live within the city it may not be that quiet, for a start you should stay in a busy place until you know where would you like to be. We singaporeans have been living in busy crowded place so anything that is quiet and serene will feel like ulu?? I am also worried about this haha. As for job it may depend on you occupation? Sorry I am not of much help on this.

I would think so. I applied for SS from SA on June 8 and got their reply on 20th. Lucky as I wanted to have my visa application lodged prior to July 1st. My agent did that for me on June 29th!!!!

Ya, I agree hence thinking of Adelaide at the moment. I'm seeing a lot of IT specialist migrating to Australia... I'm more into sales, not sure if it is easy to get a job there but will certainly try.
