We are wanting to make the move to Brisbane. What is the first step?

Question

grace · Answer

1. Look at the employment situation - how easy will it be to find jobs in your industries?
2. Decide whether you will rent or buy and how much you will need minimum to cover this expense.
3. Take a look at your current financial position and estimate costs of moving over, how much money you will have to live on until you can find a job etc. We needed about $12K to make our move - that covered us for two weeks accomodation while looking for a flat, flat bond and first rent payment, moving costs, and purchasing some basic furniture & appliances, plus food & essentials. Would have needed more if we had had a longer gap between starting work again though. Luckily we only had 3 weeks without income.
