Poms In Oz

For any British people out there (Poms) who are thinking of a move to Australia (Oz) its a great idea to check out the Poms In Oz website. My wife and I used this a lot when we were planning our move out here. There are lots and lots of form pages linking you to different information and users. 

We used it to:

  • Find out if any other people had visa problems.
  • Find out if anyone else was on the same kind of visa as us.
  • Find out if any Poms were living in areas that we were thinking of moving to.
  • Look up other peoples shipping experiences.
  • Look up costs that people had paid for different parts of the processes.
  • General pitfalls.
  • Make us feel more confident about our move.
Everyone on there is really friendly and we used this resource extensively, we still meet up with people that we met on PIO (Poms In Oz) for semi-regular drinks, meals and chats.

I cant rate this site highly enough as it had advice and experiences from others in the same position as us, who had done the move and noted their successes and potential issues.
