Hi, Thanks for the replies above. Adelaide sounds interesting, i will take your recommendations on board. With regards to the teaching i get the impression it may be easier to work in another region. South Australia seems to be one of the only areas where you cant register as a teacher before you arrive in Australia, making it virtually impossible to secure employment before you leave. I'm a little risk averse and as both my wife and i are teachers it is a high risk strategy waiting to secure employment while your registration is complete. I quite fancied the area too!

Thanks for your reply. Our Visa is a 189 visa so we can work anywhere in Australia. However, Adelaide had taken our fancy. We are visiting Adelaide in August (i know it is winter, but we wanted a look around, we are going to the north for the majority of our time in Australia). Is there anywhere anyone would recommend to visit (as a tourist and a potential resident to the region)?

Hi, My wife and i are looking to move to the Adelaide area in January 2016. We are both secondary teachers here in the UK (My wife - Science, me- Business, Economics and ICT). We are reluctant to move without jobs but seen to feel it is impossible to find a job before emigrating as certain documentation cannot be obtained without being in the region. Is it possible to obtain employment (i.e. in the independent sector) without the child protection training and first aid training needed? We anticipate moving at the end of December so would have a month to obtain the relevant documentation. Also, are there job opportunities in these areas? I get the impression that the economy is struggling at the minute and jobs are hard to come by. I have registered with some agencies and sent our CV's to some schools. However, I am wondering if paying for the visa has been a big mistake. Any help and guidance would be massively appreciated. Alex
