No special vacinatins ... When our children started school we were asked what vaccinations they'd had (usual MMR etc.,)

The younger ones slot into the Australian programme if they go to daycare and definatly when they start kindy , they have to have chickenpox and hepetitis over here ( don't think they have it in uk or have to when they are older over here ) .

 

Make sure you bring your vaccination history of bubs with you ( mine was a red book uk ) my daughter was 2 and a half when she started day care here .. so maybe the older ones miss that phase .

Hi Jack,

 

That's a great help, my wife and i was looking through email after email yesterday to try and find out about the chicken pox jab.

 

Are you living in Perth at the moment??

Yes , we moved here two and a bit years ago .. i just remembered popping our daughter into day care and getting a note saying she had not been vaccinated .. i went into shock and was like .. WHAT .. she is up to date.. anyway we went to the doctors and they were the extra vaccines they give here at that age , so thats why i remember .. all was well afterwards PHHHEEEW ..

[Guest plant78]

Thank god i know about it now lol

 

what area do you live, were looking around the innaloo / doubleview area or down towards claremont area! Do you know what these areas are like??

The vaccines my daughter had were given at the age related and part of the Australian programme .

HI plant , we are in Baldivis which is south of the river , although we have lived in a few different areas .

[Guest plant78]

We've not really looked that far down to be honest, fremantle is the furthest south we've look. Have you lived north of the river?

[jackboots 50]

No never .. east and south lol .

[Guest plant78]

Lol, would you recommend any places i will be working in the city, so needs to be fairly close to a bus or train route and we would like to be fairly close to the beach.

We lived in Leeming for a year and its my near on perfect .. spot on location ( it is so central ) , trains into perth 10 mins nr Freo , close to beaches 15 mins car ride , Bibra lake near bye , i could go on a lot more great schools etc .. sadly for us not in our price range .. we moved south for baldivis because its further away from the city its less expensive to buy , leeming are older houses bigger plots and a lot of the new ones are like legoland and really small plots .. personal choice there im afraid..( has good schools as well ) we love baldivis you can get the train into the city we have friends who do daily , not quite sure how long it takes its about 40 -45 mins drive ( my driving ) we are on Settlers which is older and slightly bigger plots and lots of parks ..good schools here as well..5 mins to train in car , and less than ten to the nearest beach .

[Guest plant78]

Thanks for the help. I will have a look tonight. Didn't know there were too many beaches south of the river!

[jackboots 50]

its all built along the coast west side and hills the east side and perth central , and the other bits that fill in .. if your looking at it from south to north lol thats the best way i can describe it !

[Guest plant78]
