You will have tp pay upfront yourself. I used http://aveling.com.au/safety-courses/white-card-wa-construction-course-online.htm?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=White%2BCard you can do it online and collect your card when you get here, it very basic and at $65 it's worth paying, you wont get anything without it.

Hi we are breaking our lease and our rental 4/2 will be available from 6th May. $416 per week pets considered (we have a german shepheard), 2 min walk to Comet Bay PS and 10min walk to Comet bay College. PM me if you need any further info.

It's hard to take.

Been much the same for me, had 1 interview got asked back for second interview and then heard nothing. Been here for 8 weeks and been told that without a degree I will have no chance of getting a pm role even though I have 16 years experience (4 as a construction director). The sun is great but the ozzies are blinkered, they would rather have a pm with limited experience with a degree than one with a wealth of experience. Not the land of opportunity some people think.

We arrived about 4 weeks ago and we move into our perm rental on Friday. We wanted something around currambine but couldn't get a good rental that took pets. As we have 2 kids (15&22) schools were important and comet bay came highly rated so we settled on secret harbour but we do think it is a bit far from Perth. We r aiming to build and we will move to an area that ticks all the boxes. U need to accept that a move this big Will take time before u get settled. Unless u get lucky

enjoying the great weather.

I am a joiner to trade. Became gf in 96, sm in 98, pm in 2000, cm in 2004, c director in 2006, ran single projects to £10m and was a senior sm on the biggest o&g project in Europe (civils & commercial projects) and still can't get anything here, I was offered a cm role before I came here, should have taken it.

I've been here for four weeks and not managed to get a single interview. I've got a foremans job arranged for a 5 week period on $40 an hour. I've got a good cv and worked at a senior level but it seems it goes for nothing here. Spent nearly £30k to get here and I am earning less money than I was on in the UK. Didn't expect to walk into a top job but a temp role I was doing 15 years ago was not what I was expecting.

We are still looking and we are family of 5 (wife, 2 boys and a dog), as we have kids at school we need to be within a catchment area of certain schools (atwell, comet bay and mindarie to name a few), our oldest will be sitting his WACE this year so we can't afford to move him too much. We are considering a private school to give us flexiblity. Any good 4 bed homes in Baldivis or secret harbour would be great.

Hi Anyone aware of a 4+2 in Secret Harbour or Atwell coming up for rent in the near future (that can take pets), any break lease would be great, if anyone is aware please PM me.

we've been here for nearly 3 weeks and with a dog ad 2 kids it is proving impossible, we can pay up to $800 a week but as I don't have a job yet they are not interested, I've even said w will pay 6 months up front but still not interested. Went to see 4 today, first was a dump and the other three had been leased. Starting to think this move was a bad idea :-(((

Hi all, I am moving out in September do you need a white card for management roles?

Big count has started, 45 days until the big move. Worrying and exciting times.

Hi, No we are going out in September and keepers fingers crossed I'll get a decent role when i move out.

Hope there's still a team avater to use in the future!

I'd rather have a roll and slice from the Melbourne, I'll miss Lothian Slice when we head out (my inlaws always bring me up a full slab of slice when they are up ate ours.

We are taking 5-6 weeks out when we arrive in September, we also like the looks of NOR but may well depend on what school we decide to send the kids to and obviously cost. We'll need to have a 3 towns Barbie.

Small world, I am originally from Saltcoats but we stayed in Ardrossan for about 14 years before we moved away, my in-laws still stay in Ardrossan. We head out in September and are still trying to decide where to Live, any advice?

Thanks Sarah, I'll take a note of them and give them a ring when we get out in September.

Hi, We are originally from Ayrshire as well, where did you come from in Ayrshire?

We are heading out at the start of September as well with a holiday let for a month, keeping fingers crossed we can get a good rental in an area with a good school, good road/rail links, close to the beach, close to shopping and plenty of things to do within walking distance. I am asking too much!!!!

Any chance you could let us know the agent, we move out in September and it would be nice to touch ase with a good agent before we head out.

We like both areas and haven't decided 100% where to move too so it might just come down to getting a good rental that decides for us.

Hi we are looking for a 4 bed ideally near Ocean Reef or Secret Harbour and we need to be able to have our dog.

No still looking, got a second interview via Skype on Wednesda but I don't quite fit their criteria so not holding out much hope. Came to the conclusion that unless i'm out there on the ground th chances of geting a role are slim.
