Moving from dublin ireland to australia, any advice please??

my family of 2 adults 2 children. thinking of maybe perth or brisbane not sure yet. my husband is a carpet and vinyl fitter, and would be looking for similar work, and wondering what the rates of pay are? my son is 13 and daughter is 5 so any information on what city would be best would be greatly appreciated thank you

More carpet company's for you are.............Andersens and you can check them out on the internet @ www.andersens.com.au
Carpetcall is another company but they haven't got an email address written here.
Carpet court is www.carpetcourt.com.au
Harveynormanmegaflooring.com.au
Depending on which area you are choosing to live in, has there own carpet business names and there are a few of them listed here in Brisbane and the Sunshine coast. So you really need to decide first which city you are moving to.

Move to Bondi, tons of irish there and you're close to the beach. Thats in sydney. I like sydney the best, it's very open and there are lots employment opportunities. It also doesn'y get to overly hot there. which will be good for you, headed from ireland

Don't try to bring furniture unless it is particularly valuable. Don't bring large electrical items like TVs and refrigerators or even DVD players. TVs and DVDs probably will not work here. Australia uses 240V electricty but the plugs will be different to those used in Dublin.

Any city would be good as all are growing. I have no idea of wage rates, why not get onto the sites of carpet retailers in Australia, get a phone number and ask. "Carpet Court" is the only one I can think of at the moment though.

I wouldnt be choosing Brisbane or Perth. I would look at Sydney and Melbourne. I would put Perth before Brisbane though if your stuck on those choices.

You best idea is to look up the award wages. wagenet is for federal awards and in NSW its the department of industrial relations. If you google those sites or google award wages for western australia, etc..

Here are some links that other people have asked questions with answers about migrating to Australia, they may be of some help.
