Hi Zoe

We have been here almsot 6 years abd thankfully the kids settled quickly and easily into Aussie life.
As a midwife id try and find a job first then look into surronding areas and schools. Some schools have tight catchment areas so always check .

We migrated from Belgium 5 years ago and don't regret it at all. Our kids were 4 and 6 at the time and integrated very easily. Schools are good and there's lots of activities for them (my son plays softball and my daughter is a competitive swimmer).
I can give you advice on housing as I work for a real estate agency in the Brisbane CBD.
Send me a private message so I can help you further

Cheers,

Philippe, for Open House Realty Group

 

Hi,

Please can you advise what we will need to secure a rental property in Brisbane and surrounding areas. I hear we need 100 ID points.

Thanks,

Sarah

 

Yes, this 100 points ID check is a real pain, but there's no way around it.
