We are thinking of relocating to Ireland or Australia once our daughter completes college, so a couple of years (gives me time to finish degree too). My wife is disabled and never likely to work, I'm hoping my health concerns will resolve by then too, I'd be working in the web/IT Industry, entering around mid-level. I have some experience - six years or so but things have changed massively and I'm investing a lot of time + degree to get my skills up to date.
So, what are both Republic of Ireland and Sydney/Melbourne like to live in? I've no idea on wages at this stage, what would I need to earn to be comfortable - clearly renting initially but if we like it in either we are likely to want to stay. How difficult is entry to the two countries? Are there any disability benefits like DLA/PIP my OH could claim?
No need to think about schools as education will be completed, although if DD wanted to move with us she'd be looking at university there.
So really, housing prices, benefit system, cost of living, any information really would be great.
Many thanks :)
