Have been offered a job in central Melbourne by an old contact, I am currently in the UK. Which I am really tempted to take because I am a NZ citizen (although my DH is British) so I have automatic right to work in Australia. We will have a 7 year old in February and also a just turned 4 year old.
I will be earning just over 100kAU, need a lot of help on suburbs - we really want a variety of cultures, link to tram / train route and reasonably close to CBD, fairly decent primary schools (not private or religious). I have been to East Brunswick before so was thinking that or maybe Coburg or Bentleigh? Only planning on being in Melbourne for 3ish years so looking at renting and not bothered about secondary school.
And talk to me about school enrolment, because if this move happens it will be pretty quick so we could technically be in Melbourne by the end of January in time for the new school year?
DH most likely will not work for the first year because is childcare really expensive (I assume?) and he has low qualifications so will probably not break even.
Lots of questions, help needed!
