I don't know about IT scenario but I'm in a what's app group with some Indians and they constantly post openings.Someone who's in the core of that field will have a better response

Thank you so much for all the information you have provided. It will do a world of good! May God bless you and your family. We are going to Sydney early next year by God's grace and I find this thread very invaluable!. Please my husband is in IT, can he be added to the group. Please, thank you.

@wellendowed @bellong @tyosho @funkyjo @jamson and all my other ppl it's time to come and give us jist

Soooo I am suddenly getting attracted to Perth for only God knows what reason meanwhile I was bent on going to Melbourne before oh. So I am here thinking is it going to be easy to get those sharp sharp jobs like forklift and care jobs initially before one settles down to a white collar job in Perth.
I am believing God that I will do my Master in Social work and am already applying self. My hubby is an HR professional and will like to continue in that line. We have two children 4 yrs old and 10months old.

Please I am interested in what you all think based on your experiences

Care jobs pay very well. The Australian govt has invested heavily into caring for the disabled through a scheme known as NDIS. I know a naija guy here in Melbourne who does disability care full-time (i.e. Mon-Sun) and is raking in money. This is someone who has his PhD in a biological science shocked. I was told that Disability care is even more lucrative than Nursing and less stressful. One can get paid betw $30-35/hr on weekdays and as much as $40-50/hr on Sundays and pub holidays. One would need to do a Certificate IV course on disability but because there is a high demand for these workers (speaking from a Melbourne perspective), some agencies such as OnCALL are willing to give you a short 4-day training to get you working sharply. I have attended this training (as well as bolaobby) and I have started getting shifts though only on weekends as I have my regular 9-5 infotech job on weekdays. Infact the agency keeps calling me to accept shifts on weekdays which I have repeatedly turned down.
One thing is for sure: except you are lazy or you are the type that likes forming, you cannot be poor in this country. Jobs dey plenty.

please guys in WA. Which of these areas have the cheapest and very good housing; Joondalup, Midland or Leederville.

By very good I mean size and neatness

thanks

Leederville is the closest to the Cbd so it may be more expensive.

Joondalup is a nice area but traffic on the freeway to the city and from the city at peak times could be challenging when you have to drive.

The good thing is, they all have train stations so public transport wouldn't be an issue.

So it basically depends on if you want to live close to the Cbd or not.

The online version is at your pace. Normally it could take as much as 4 months but you could finish in two months if you are fast enough

How much was the training?
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by happy4lucy: 5:49am On Nov 13, 2017
Dear...

Am interested in this course but have some set back...

1. Since am still currently waiting for our PR, I don't know if the price is the same for PR holder and international student...

2. Do you advice I start now or wait for PR for price reduction...

3. If I start now how much is involved,
Which school do you recommend and the course type (because there are a lot of certification in that area)

Thanks

The cost is not the same. PR holders will pay much less. I'm currently running the course online at JTI. Please check out the site for cost details as well as other details http://www.jti.edu.au/courses/disability/c-83-disability/p-81-chc43115-certificate-iv-in-disability.
From here you can see that the course costs $4,500 shocked. But with govt funding, you could pay just $120. Victorian govt funding requires that you have PR and that you currently reside in Victoria.

Yes you can. But its rather expensive. There are also some practical aspects of the course that you would need to be physically present to be taught. You would also need to undergo 120 hours of work placement (or internship) before you can graduate. This internship must be with a disability service provider in Australia. Check out the website I gave above for more info

My peeps I need your advice.

I have been burning serious dollars making international calls to naija undecided. A fellow naija friend told me about an Internet phone call app called Telbo. He said he would load credit of about $30 and can call naija gsm and talk for a relatively long time. However, the quality of the call is not as good as gsm-to-gsm.

Does any of us have any experience with these kind of apps? Please share. I want to know the cheapest one grin that also has good quality.

Thanks
