We are thinking of relocating to Australia and are wondering if there is a sight where you can research Jobs,?

Question

We are a family of six disgruntled with the drama where we live. Is there any sites that we can visit to get info on Jobs, housing, cost of living, schools, etc... We have searched newspaper classifieds, and craigslist.com but need something with more detail and some history and interpretating the lingo and money factor. Any information wouldbe helpful

Answer 3

I immigrated to Australia from Texas 10 years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. But, depending on where you live now, immigrating can be a long drawn out process. The Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs has a website. http://www.immi.gov.au/. You can get heaps of useful info there.

Answer 4

Seek.com.au is the best employment site.
Western Australia is booming at the moment with loads of mining jobs, but housing is quite expensive. $450 000 median.
It depends on the weather you like also. Colder in Tasmania, warmer in Queensland.
All the best.
