:biggrin: hi all just thought i'd say hello
new to all this but just started application to head south from the uk to brisbane
hoping the site will be useful and make some good contacts
my wife and i are both nurses so hopefully should find work
bringing our 2 kids currently 5 and 3 so i hope they will fit in and get on ok thats the biggest worry and hope the climate suits them
have no idea where we will end up but our research shows probably south of brisbane so if any one knows good areas schools and hospitals would be a big help

Hiya and welcome to brits in brissy ,as you have said you will find work easily and pretty much have a choice of where to go,According to latest stats ,the Logan Hospital is now one of the busiest followed closely by the Mater ,i havnt heard any horror storys about any hospital really so you should be ok at any ,the PA (princess alexandra,)lol, is also quite popular for new arrivals to secure a job ,good luck with everything

Hi Steve and Clare
My husband and I have been in Brisbane for two years now and I am a psychiatric nurse working at the acute inpatient mental health unit at The Prince Charles Hospital, Chermside, just north of the Brisbane CBD. If I can be of any help get in touch.
