Hi We are a family of four. Travelling out to Brisbane at the begining of September. We dont have any family over there. We dont actually no a single soul that lives in the country. But we feel that its a to good a opportunity to miss. My name is Karl and im a electrician, Im married to Liz and she is a Nursing Assistant and we have two Children. Leonie 7 and Sam 5.
Neither of us have a job lined up and the kids arnt enrolled in school or anything yet. But we are hoping to go to the redcliff area of brisbane. and just see how it all pans out. Like to here from anyone in the redcliff areas.

Hi there, my family are too thinking of moving to Brisbane. I am a nurse so we'd get in on my points but my husband works as a signal/track technician for the railway so he will also be looking for a job. Have you sorted your visasetc out yet. Have you looked into the area of Brisbane yet? Our issues are childcare as we have three young kids aged 9month, 3 and 5 years. We have heard that it can cost £10.00 an hour, which is a lot. This is really making us sit back and think although we are all desperate to go.

Hi Karlandliz,

Also check out the Australian section since that has people who are moving to Brissie and living in Brissie at the moment.

Regards,
Karen

Also my main question is regarding visas,how do i get one started where do i go to start to apply for one and how much does it cost for us to get one? any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks madsam xxx

Hi Madsam,

I think (from another post) that you've looked at the government website for visas. We actually used an agent in the UK to do the application for us and that cost a few thousand pounds. Since you are being sponsored by family I'm not sure if that makes it easier.

Check out www.austimeline.com.au since they have current times for visas (but you do need to know your visa type).

Regards,
Karen
