Hi ya, we used an agent in Ireland and have found him so helpful he really knows his stuff he came highly recommended to us as well Oz-Visas.com > Home he was very affordable as well

Ive also heard great things about Go Matilida Go Matilda - Your Gateway to Australia - Australian Visas and Migration Planning
also George Lombard is meant to be excellent as well Contact Us | George Lombard Consultancy Pty. Ltd.

I agree that we have heard good things about Go Matilda and also George Lombard.

We used Welcome to The Emigration Group Website - A complete migration service for New Zealand and Australia because they were in the UK and we got their number from an emigration newspaper and then went for a free consultation. They got us in (I'm in IT and my husband is a gardener) when 2 other agents turned us down. We arrived in July 2007.

Regards,
Karen

Hi....you must be SO excited, which part of Brisbane are you heading to? What do you and your other half do? How long has it taken to get your visa's? Im sorry loads of questions.

It feels like we have a very large mountain to climb at the moment, just gathering info from all the agents at the moment, then will decide who to go with.

Kids keep asking me when we are going....I can't wait!!!

Hi Debbie
heading to Maroochydore our friends sorted out a house for us and it will be ready for us when we get there right be side the beach ill be in heaven
My DH is a metal fabricator / welder and im a beauty therapist we are going on his trade. I think when you start its not taking that long it was a long process thinking about it and saving the money the TRA was probably the hardest all the information thats why we used an agent for that we are doing the visa on line our selfs so fingers crossed it comes back in time

My lads keep saying the same thig esp on the cold mornings my eldest hates wearing a coat but he has asthma and its acting up with the damp they keep asking the same and how long will the flight last and what filims will they watch gas
and very exciteing!

Hi there, just stumbled across this website and think it might be one I will visit a lot! We have got through the first stage of visa approval and have used an agent based in London called Ambler Collins. 0207 371 0213. They go through everything with you; organise your paperwork and dont send anything off until they know it is acceptable. That way, you dont waste time sending stuff getting out to Oz and then getting it sent back because you have missed something etc. They advise on type of visa and dont cost the earth either. Hope that helps.
