Question Heading to Melbourne

Hi ,

I'm hoping to move out to melbourne early next year from the UK and would love some advice and to hear from anyone who has relocated successfully.

Applying for jobs just now ( as a nurse) and trying to get my head around all the forms i need to fill in, would love to speak to someone who's done it all before.

Australia is an easy place to get used to.....(just think back to the 80's and you have it - Including the humour) and Melbourne is a great city.

This forum has many great links to schools and how-to's. (If you have specific questions (can't help with nursing but everything else - for sure)

Now, get out your neon-legwarmers and get ready for another world.

thank you, just starting the process, no visa sorted yet but in the middle of sorting everything out.

When are you going out? How long did the whole thing take you?

Thats great, when are you planning on going out? I work in ICU and was hoping to get a job in the same area, which hospital did you get a job in?
Let me know how you get on.
