ozosborne Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi there, Currently living in Alberton. I own a trailer manufacturing company (X Factor Sport). Got a sudden offer come up out of Brisbane as a branch manager for a towbar manufacturing / fitment company. I am looking at doing a medium to long term sponsorship visa application, think it is a 482 visa. Seems like we should be taking the leap in taking my family of 4 over. I have many many questions, but thought I would introduce myself first. Cheers, Oz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riekie Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 You're one of the lucky ones who gets to take this journey with a job lined up, so go for it! Just do it with an open mind and positive attitude and you'll be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamTam Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Brisbane is really lovely, very family friendly. I am frequently impressed with the general friendliness of the people I meet here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozosborne Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks guys. So I gave the migration agent the go ahead yesterday. She says she will have us done and dusted before January as that is what we are aiming for, this way the kids can get started in school as it opens. I understand the schools start around 25 January? Any other members here from Brisbane? Im particularly wanting to know if there are areas to steer clear of? I will be working in Slacks Creek, and wanted to make it easy on us and just rent a home in the same area, also found a school that seemed suitable. Mabel State School. Is the Slacks Creek area all right and safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamTam Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I don't know the south that well but I have a colleague who lives in Victoria Point and apparently it's lovely. Generally speaking most suburbs are pretty safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep researching on what suburbs etc are better. But it seems to be a bit of pot luck without actually being there. For some reason my employers said Slacks Creek itself is more industrial and did not recommend living there, even though I have found houses for rental and a state school in the suburb?
