Hi everyone, we, as a family of 5 would like to move to Australia (Brisbane). Where do you start? I am a qualified plumber (domestic), non site worker. I am currently doing my Gas (ACS) training. I know when entering Australia, I will have to resit my skills etc to qualify to work.
1) How do I find a job?
2) Visa information?
3) How do we know when we can legally leave for Australia?
4) If we have a job to go to, what sort of money would we need to bring with us?
5) Schools?
Many thanks
Peter

First check with www.immi.gov.au for visa information. No visa no job.

For work www.seek.com.au or Google search, Just remember that unemployment is on the rise so locals will get work first.

For cost of living www.numbeo.com Getting expensive to live here.

No sense in worrying about schooling until you get a job as you will need to find a school near where you are living and working.

You will need medical insurance cover too.
