Emmigrating to Melbourne

Published

First of all...Hello people. I've just registered on this fantastic site and have been on it for about 1 1/2 hours(from about 04.30 hrs. Insomnia).

I currently live/work in the UK as a community psychiatric nurse(substance misuse) and have recently secured a job with HealthScope at North Eastern Rehabilitation Centre in Melbourne. I am flying out on 28/01/09 and will start work early March.

I'm looking for any info, help, whatever. For example can any body comment on HealthScope as an employer, where to live in Melbourne(I'll be working in an area called Ivanhoe) is the weather nice, things to look out for etc etc.

I'm a little tired now and will post some more specific enquiries when my head is functioning a little better.

Thanks in advance for any responses to this.

Simon

PS I can't wait to get out there :D :up:

I work for another Healthscope hospital in Melbourne. Only been with them for about 3 months but so far it's been fine. I just have to keep reminding myself coming from the US that private hospitals and their corporates such as Healthscope are in the business to make money. But Melbourne is awesome, even if you don't live in Ivanhoe there is plenty of public transport to get you around the city. Between the trains, trams, and buses you really can't go wrong. Good luck with your move!
