where to start?

Hi there just reading throught the notes and we used the Australia Migration Consultants based in Weston-super-mare there no is 08702401976. There fees were £2100.00 plus extras for the DIMA, Trades reg, Medicals, police and solictors for certifying documents. All together i would say we have spent about £3.500.00 NOT CHEAP OR FREE LIKE SOME PROPLE THINK.
We have decied to sell our house as all our money is tied up in it and we need it for the big move we are hoping to go in August during summer holidays for kids over here, they have already broke up over there and do not return until the end of Jan. I have a 15 year old kiera a 8 year old Harrison and a 2 year old Toby who are all looking forward to the move. Deep down i think my husband is pooping it now it is getting nearer as he worried about job prospects out there but i have reserched a lot and done alot of site searching and Brisbane does look the best for Builders. Hope i can help.
Thankyou

your agent sounds very handy only being only 30 miles up the road from us!! how long have you been planning your move? and what is the wages like over there for brickys? cus there are some stupid rumours flying around up here!!! brisbane looks fantastic,do you think there are enough jobs to go around? woudnt want to go to a place which is flooded by bricklayers? are the english excepted well on building sites in oz? sorry for all the questions.thanks

This has been our dream for over 12 years but we have been planning it for about 6 months. The wages on average the wages are about £33 dollors an hour i think about £12 in gb moniesbut of course with the nice weather you can work longer hours and the standard of living is a little cheaper, but then saying that my husband is not on great wages here and so far in the last 6 months 3 building firms he sub-contracted with have gone into receivership so not doubth we will be looking at ozz as a shiner place!

yeah its worrying times for the building trade,here at the moment,ive been moving from job to job myself.Losing money on jobs,and struggling with the weather its been a hard winter so far!! thats why oz looks so appealing!! i really want a better standard of living for my kids!! and just enjoy my job in the sunshine for more than 2 weeks of the year!!!

have you been to australia before? or are just gonna go for it? we havent been but know loads of people that have and they have loved it! i have also found out we have more relatives out there which is good. thanks

Hello again myself or my husband have never been to Australia and we have no realtives out there either we are just going for it and we are going to sell the house so we have no excuse to return lol But by the looks of it Brisbane has some strong offers for brickies, the site i went on looks like they need alot of trainnes and there short of them or maybe there like this country and dont wont to pay the wages! who knows stuck and see.
