I’d really appreciate some advice on behalf of my daughter.

She is currently a clinical photographer – although she is really keen on social work.

Anyway, she has decided that she would really like to move to Sydney and she does have a few friends there.
She’s late-twenties and has no ties, not much money and has bought her flight ready to move mid-January. She has had a 12 month working visa accepted.

Her intention is to fly there, possibly stay in a hostel for a short while whilst she finds work and then find somewhere to live.

She has been told that she should not have to struggle to find a job there so has literally sold her car and furniture etc to go.

My questions are really, is what she has been told true? Should she be able to find a job and somewhere to live without too much trouble?

If she finds a job, is she likely to be able to stay there after twelve months, when her current visa will expire?

And yes, I do have photos and no I’m not posting them on here…

Thanks for the advice.

The first thing is for her to find a job and somewhere to live. I guess that she won't have to be too fussy over her first job.

What she is able to earn will pretty much dictate where she can afford to live.

Useful stuff though...

Not sure but suspect that's the form - she's in Scotland at the moment.

She would like to make the move to Australia a permanent one so is hopeful that there is a way that this can be possible.

Well she has a degree in photography and has until recently been a clinical photographer at a large Scottish Hospital, so she does have a skill but I think that she really wants to do something different there.

She has pretty much sold everything that she has to do this so I really hope that it turns out to be everything that she wants it to be.

Thank you for that.

I'll pass all these comments on to her.
