hi myself and my family are going to south australia to live in the gulf view heights or surrounding areas so anyone with usful info on schools areas houses or a plumbing job for my husband will be gratfully recieved. we have sold the house and have been living in rented property that we need to be out by end may and were expecting visa to be done by now but have just been told that as they have a backlog with paper apps our elctronic will have to wait! we had case officer 5th feb medicals etc or done prior anyone one any tips on a more speedy process!!
Don't get your hopes up too high regarding Plumbing Jobs. Unfortunatly it not as straight forward as you'd expect. Your husband may have to go back to college to get an Aussie qualification and become a Master Plumber before he's allowed to work unsupervised. They put a lot of emphasis on knowing about drainage and sewers here, as I believe its a different system altogether than the U.K.
We had a guest stay at our rental who was a plumber. He had such a run around trying to get the right info off immi and college courses that he finally gave up trying and went to work as a security guard instead.
Don't let me put you off though, just please do as much research as you can before you arrive, therefore taking some pressure off yourselves in the first few weeks.
Good luck
