I’ve been very quiet on this blog lately, haven’t I? It’s just I’m run off my feet, panicking and running around like a running about thing doing other stuff. We’re moving house on Friday, with a week’s notice, so we have 65843268345 things to organise and, well, no time in which to do it. There’s

It’s actually gone surprisingly well, really. We’ve got all the really hard stuff (like making sure we have somewhere to live I can commute from) sorted out. Next week is going to be a lot busier, naturally, but nothing we can’t deal with (assuming I can get a few days of work).

Our case officer has just approved us on our preliminary assessment and has requested we submit medical and police reports. Our medicals are taking place on Saturday, with the radiology appointments set up for the following wednesday. Once the doctor has received the radiology slides, the whole shooting match is packed off to Adelaide. Except

Well, now that things are clipping along apace with Adelaide, we were expecting things to get a bit busy. What we didn’t expect, though, is our house buyer to pop up and confirm that he is signing missives tomorrow after all, leaving us a grand total of nine days to find somewhere else to live.

I thought I’d put this post together to give people who are thinking of moving from the UK to Australia the kind of costs they can expect to face. The costs are split into three sections. Direct migration costs are fees and charges payable directly to various bodies in Australia and are payable whether you

Latest dates are in from DIMA in Adelaide. Applications lodged between 28th November and 5th December are currently being allocated. Not only is this us, but we’re also at the top of the pile. What this could mean is that things could now hurtle along at a brisk rate of knots, with medicals being requested
