Based on my analysis on Job sites (SEEK AND Indeed), I noticed that there are more job opportunities for me in Melbourne and Sydney (Although I was told majority of the jobs are not even advertised). I would still go to Perth initially just to see friends but I finally relocate to either Sydney or Melbourne or wherever a job offer takes me to. ![]() majiouk2002: |

Hello Fam, So, while trying to do some research on the different states in Aussie and the best places to settle down and all (trying to while away time and not get anxious while waiting on GOD to manifest our direct grants via DIBP), I saw an article with the extract below; JOBSEEKERS chasing the big bucks should head to regional Western Australia or our nation’s capital. The Kalgoorlie, Goldfields and Esperance region recorded the highest average salary advertised in SEEK job ads last financial year, at $99,236. It topped the list of major cities and regions in SEEK’s City Spotlight research, followed by Port Hedland, Karratha and Pilbara ($98,027) and Canberra ($85,819). Sydney ($84,525) and Melbourne ($81,842) rounded out the top five paying locations. While job ads in capital cities generally threw around the most cash, some regional counterparts gave them a run for their money. Oya una wey sabi lets gist about it, what's your take. P.S: In this sojourn of mine I have found family and friends that are willing to help us settle in the following areas; Melbourne (West & South East) Sydney Brisbane Perth So how una see am oh *in wazobia FM tone* 1 Like |

einsteino: I've been living in canny for 9 yrs now (schooled and work here). For some reason fate is pulling me to Aussie. Lol. I'm tired of canny for now I need to work in a different country for a couple of years. I know aussie and canny will be similar. I see a lot of australians coming to canny with the working holiday visa, them full banff alberta working in resorts. I am yet to find out if the salary in Aussie is higher than Canada. Well, let's see how it goes in 2018. I might be here soon asking for suggestions on areas to live. 7 Likes |

mevisbleek:They travel just to have fun and explore I think. when i was in the UK, there were lots of Canadians and Australians working in fast food restaurants with the working holiday visa. I also had a British colleague in my office who quit her job to go and work in farms in Australia for a year. I saw a picture she posted online of her and other working holiday visa holders picking fruits on a farm in Australia. 2 Likes |

babylove01: This depends on if you want to live NOR or SOR. North or South of the river. I lived SOR and I would say any suburb in the City of Canning is okay. For those who need to get a licence or convert their licence in WA, its easy but that depends on how you approach it. Download and study the drive safe handbook. This would help you to properly understand the rules. If you have a Naija licence, do lots of practice even when you are driving alone. Look at your blind spots, check your mirrors etc. The Practical driving assessment is divided into 5 sections. You can pass or fail each section depending on the number of 'x' you get. If I remember correctly, when you pass 3 out of 5 sections, you pass the test. However, there are things you do that would make you to automatically fail the test. Like over speeding or making mistakes that would require the intervention of the assessor. New arrivals, get your smart rider card and download the transperth app. It would make life easy for you. There are a couple of African shops in Cannington around Westfield Carousel. And just like someone mentioned, most Africans love to go shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables at Market City in Canning Vale. 2 Likes |

uchenna2017: In my experience, there's not much difference in terms of cost between a 2 bed and 3 bed. In fact I've even seen where 3 bed duplex (called townhouse) is cheaper than 3 bed bungalow. The agent does not have a say on this. I have a family of a wife and 4 children. Back then we saw a wonderful 2 bed property. However the landlord was sceptical about giving it to us because he felt that we might not stay for a long time since we may need more space in future. That was his only reason as he was looking for a very long term tenant. My wife and I didn't like the idea of being tied down in a long term contract with a landlord and so we continued our search. I don't know about bringing in drugs. As for foodstuff, as long as its dry and in clearly labeled transparent nylon bags, you should be fine. 5 Likes |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by bellong: 9:32pm On Oct 20, 2017 |
@Uchenna, You can bring in medications. However, if they are not over the counter drugs, come along with the doctor's prescription. You can stay in a two bedroom if that is what is convenient for you. |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Aussline: 10:38pm On Oct 20, 2017 |
bellong: Pls I need to ask this.what if I am a doctor or a pharmacist ,can I bring drugs other than OTCs without a prescription,children drugs most especially.I will be coming in on visa 489.I heard healthcare is very expensive for non PR holders,so I want to have some drugs with me just in case any of my children falls sick. 1 Like |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Nobody: 8:46am On Oct 21, 2017 |
Thank you Bellong and Vinsmuft for your response. Another thing can I use private hospital immunisation card for the children or it must be primary health centre card. What's this OPV am thinking its immunisation card but not sure can someone explain please, we already have yellow fever card. Can we come with anything liquid like red oil? apart from drugs can we carry something like aboniki ![]() I understand that you can bring in any food stuff as long as its dry how about other items that are not food stuff like safety pin, needle and thread those smaller house things. I need a lady to respond as packing load is our speciality ![]() 2 Likes |

OPV is oral polio vaccine. I don't know for Australia but I know generally, travelling with liquid is frowned at so what I do for red oil is put them in this small lucozade plastic containers and freeze them. I bring them out the day i am leaving and wrap them in newspapers and put in ziploc bag. Silverbird and aboniki is allowed. I travel with mentholatum, Robb, aboniki, silverbird, ori e.t.c cos this children can perform magic. Safety pin, needle and thread is allowed but please not in your hand luggage or hand bag. Pack it in the luggage you are checking in but these things are cheap over there sha. Concentrate on carrying those things you know you can't get easily. uchenna2017: 3 Likes |

good day everyone, please what's the procedure of getting an humanitarian visa, my brother was told to get one for the processing of his admission. |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by bellong: 9:46pm On Oct 21, 2017 |
vhickky: Read the student thread for student visa. It was clearly written on opening page that this thread is not for visa enquiry. Meanwhile, who is asking him to get humanitarian visa for admission? Humanitarian visa is for genuine refugees. 12 Likes 1 Share |

@catchwind4rmkd Good to finally hear from someone that migrated initially on a temporary visa which am assuming is the 489 visa (am I right?). Please what are the pros and cons to this visa? Am migrating with my family on this visa and would like to know what to expect. Please help a sister; relocating to FSC NSW. Thank you so much for giving back and I hope to do the same to encourage people coming on this visa 6 Likes 1 Share |
