Hi from sunny Nantwich, Cheshire.

Worked/lived in South Australia for 2.5 years in the 1990's. Loved it. You will love Aussie and Australians. Did not want to go back to bad old blighty!!!!

Everywhere in Australia is fantastic. I worked for an agency in Adelaide called Medicare (I think thats what it was called). Then I got a post at a hospital. It took about 5 months for me to sort out my registration, had to get transcripts from the UKCC. Do not know about visas etc as I was a forces wife over in Oz on a special visa. I think in jobs like nursing where there are vacancies, they are a bit more lenient with you working. Sure some of the Aussie lassies will set you straight.:welcome:
