Hi My partner and I are so excited to be moving to Brisbane March 2012 .I'm a midwife and have a job at the Mater womens hospital.Would be lovely to hear from any midwives or newcomers to Brisbane.My partners a building/contracts supervisor.Is employment in this field a possibility in Brisbane.Hes also a painter and decorator to trade .Any information greatly appreciated.:smile:
G'day Gail, And Welcome!! I do know a couple of midwives at the Mater so could put you in touch with them. And my wife works in ICU at the Mater Adults. We moved here nearly two years ago and love it. Happy to tell you about it and "our story". Please PM me.
Hello Gail Welcome to the forum. I think March is a great time to move out!!! You will missed most of the humid heat, but still enjoy the warm autumn days before winter comes.....although winter here is more like a UK summer!!! There are a lot of nurses that move to the Brisbane area. Love Rudi x
Hi Rudi, Thanks for you're reply.I'm looking forward to seeing some sun.I'm looking for furnished rental in first instance near the Mater hospital.What suburbs are near there and nice to live in Gail x
Hi Gail and grate on the move. Suzie and myself fly out on 30th October for our adventure, I'm excited but nervous too, still not decided on where to live
Hi Mitch Thats not long to wait now then!Very exciting.I think we'll be nervous too as time draws closer to going.Hope all goes well for you both. Gail
Hi Just wondering if you did move to Brisbane and start work at the mater. I am also a midwife and considering move to Brisbane. Visited the mater last year and thought it was really nice. be good to hear from you Thanks
Made the move! Hi Zoe, We did make the move to Brisbane last April and I am working at the Mater.The Mater is a lovely place to work. I did take bad at first as you are not as autonomous as back in UK but I would easily sacrifice that for the beautiful weather and lifestyle here.I would recommend anyone thinking of making the move to research it well and be prepared for some "down "days when you really miss friends and family.That said I don't regret the move and am loving it here.Don't hesitate to PM me if need further info Gail X
