G’dayyyyyy!
This year it is my aim for my DD & I to relocate to Perth. Financially, our house is currently for sale and we will stay with relatives when it is sold in order to allow us to make some more savings.
My sister & her husband are both permanent residents there so fortunately they are able to sponsor us.
My other option is a skilled visa as my occupation is on the approved list.
My first question is, has anyone applied for either visa and do you have any tips? Any advice on the turnaround times?
We are eager to try and make the move this year as my DD is 13, the school system there works differently to the UK so I’m keen to get her settled so she can hit the ground running with Year 10 there, in preparation for 11 & 12 assessment years. Any advice/thoughts on the school system?
Currently undecided as to whether we will opt for public or private education but have already researched schools in the area and made a short list.
Areas I am considering are : Hillary’s, Ocean Reef, Joondalup, Waneroo. North of the river.
It’s all very exciting and we can’t wait!
Please note, this isn’t a “should I move to aus post”, as the decision has been made. It’s more of a general chat if anyone can offer any thoughts.
Thank you for reading!
