Sometimes a video call (Skype) is required. The next step would be for the candidate to receive a verbal offer. At this stage the candidate will be required to provide at least 2 referees that can be contacted. These need to be people that the candidate has reported to. For instance team leaders or Managers. They can in some circumstances be clients for who you have done work for. If references are satisfactory then a formal written offer will be made.<\/p>\r\n<h3>COST OF LIVING\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<p>It can be very hard to make an accurate comparison of cost of living between two places. I find that accommodation is normally the big cost so this is a good starting point.\u00a0<br \/>Check out some options below \u00a0<br \/>Please consider that renting out any property will include giving the landlord a security deposit which might equal 4-6 weeks rent value. This will be returned at the end of the tenancy as long as the property is undamaged and clean.<\/p>\r\n<h4>SYDNEY &#8211; NEW SOUTH WALES<\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitnsw.com\/\">http:\/\/www.visitnsw.com\/<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.domain.com.au\">www.domain.com.au<\/a><br \/>Click the rent option.<br \/>Click NSW on the map.<br \/>Tick &#8216;Sydney City&#8217; &#8216;, highlight &#8216;All Suburbs&#8217; and select your criteria. Untick the &#8216;search surrounding suburbs&#8217; box<br \/>Now click search<br \/>These suburbs are they are very central and nice but also expensive so you get an idea of the top price range. Other suburbs will be much more competitive. Here you will find a good range of furnished and unfurnished accommodation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4>MELBOURNE &#8211; VICTORIA<\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitvictoria.com.au\">http:\/\/www.visitvictoria.com.au<\/a><br \/>www.realestate.com.au Follow this same process as above for VIC (Victoria) but choose &#8216;Melbourne&#8217;. This again will give you a good guide. Again these are all the expensive places. You can get much cheaper.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4>BRISBANE &#8211; QUEENSLAND<\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.queenslandholidays.com.au\">http:\/\/www.queenslandholidays.com.au<\/a><br \/>Use same websites for Queensland and follow same process.

Super (Superannuation) is a contribution that your employer makes to a pension fund. It is currently set at 9.25% of base salary.\u00a0<br \/>For info as to how u can access this once u leave please visit:<br \/>http:\/\/australia.gov.au\/service\/superannuation-departing-australia<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<br \/>TAX\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<p>To work out your tax go to this link and select simple tax calculator. Copy and paste address rather than just click: <a href=\"http:\/\/calculators.ato.gov.au\/scripts\/asp\/simpletaxcalc\/InputDetails.asp\">https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/Calculators-and-tools\/Simple-tax-calculator\/<\/a> Enter a salary of 75K for 2007 and tick resident for full year. This says you will pay almost 20K in tax. This is just an example. You can calculate for any salary.<br \/>Here are the actual tax rates in Australia.\u00a0<br \/>http:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/Individuals\/Income-and-deductions\/How-much-income-tax-you-pay\/Individual-income-tax-rates\/<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<br \/>RELOCATION<\/h3>\r\n<p>Many \u00a0companies employing from O\/S offer for a flight and 4 weeks initial accommodation. It is often required for the individual to pay for these costs up front and produce receipts upon starting which will then be reimbursed. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>MEDICAL<\/h3>\r\n<p>Medical cover in Australia is always the responsibility of the individual. If you are sponsored on a 457 working visa it is essential that you take out health insurance. It isnt too expensive.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aushealth.com\">www.aushealth.com<\/a> or \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bupa.com.au\">www.bupa.com.au<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iselect.com.au\">http:\/\/www.iselect.com.au<\/a> is a good site to help with choosing health insurance. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>VISA<\/h3>\r\n<p>At an appropriate time you will need to make an appointment with a registered doctor to have health checks. See link below. It is likely you will be sponsored on a 457 visa. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.immi.gov.au\/contacts\/panel-doctors\/index.htm\">http:\/\/www.immi.gov.au\/contacts\/panel-doctors\/index.htm<\/a> Please note that it is usually required for the candidate to give notice to their current employer before the visa is approved. I have not yet known of a case where a visa has been refused. If candidates wait until visa approval before giving their notice this can delay the start time for the new employer. It is important that you alert me if you are not comfortable giving your notice before visa is approved.

Currently there are no fees payable in SA, VIC or QLD<\/p>\r\n<h4>NSW<\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schools.nsw.edu.au\/\">http:\/\/www.schools.nsw.edu.au\/<\/a> Fees for students who hold Temporary Resident Visas or Bridging Visas are payable 12 months in advance. The fees for a 12-month period are:\u00a0 Years 11 &#8211; 12 Senior High School A$5,500.00\u00a0<br \/>Years 7 &#8211; 10 Junior High School A$4,500.00\u00a0<br \/>Years K &#8211; 6 \u00a0Primary School A$4,500.00\u00a0<br \/>Administration Fee: A$110 (non-refundable and GST inclusive) for initial enrolment<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>What do the fees cover? The Temporary Visa Holders Education Fee includes most tuition costs and access to student support services. It does not include the cost of excursions or the provision of school uniforms.\u00a0<br \/>Each school may request voluntary school contributions and charge additional fees for certain subjects or optional extension activities. These charges apply to all students, including those who have paid the Temporary Visa Holders Education Fee.\u00a0 Individual applications for an exemption based on capacity to pay must be submitted in writing to the TVHU. Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis in relation to an applicant&#8217;s capacity to pay.<br \/>It is probably worth looking into this as you might be able to pay the fees in two instalments. One instalment for each semester.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h4>VIC<\/h4>\r\n<p>There are no school fees in Victoria<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.education.vic.gov.au\/\">http:\/\/www.education.vic.gov.au\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<h4>\u00a0<br \/>EXTERNAL LINKS<\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.immi.gov.au\">http:\/\/www.immi.gov.au<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gomatilda.com\">http:\/\/www.gomatilda.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yesaustralia.com\/\">http:\/\/www.yesaustralia.com\/\u00a0<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.workingin-australia.com\">http:\/\/www.workingin-australia.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pomsinoz.com\">http:\/\/www.pomsinoz.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gday.ru\">http:\/\/www.gday.ru<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.australia.gov.au\">http:\/\/www.australia.gov.au<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>PETS\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n<p>Quarantine<br \/>http:\/\/www.daff.gov.au\/biosecurity\/cat-dogs<\/p>\r\n<h3>\u00a0<br \/>RELOCATION<\/h3>\r\n<p>Please note that Dynamo Recruitment are not a relocation company.
