I did the Gawler trials and there were no issues, just follow the keep to the left rule.

Yeah we use school dental for the kids too. $44 a year and they are really lovely and great with the kids. Eldest about to have braces, around $6000 and that's with Smart Orthodontics. She also needs some specialist oral surgery for a tooth embedded in the gum. Will find out that cost next week but that can't be done by the school dentist so expecting $$$$

We used John Mason and they were dodgy too!

Yes, make sure you cover all the essential criteria and then sell yourself as you would in the additional information in an nhs jobs app. In my experience UK nurses are well regarded.

If you get proof of your incremental point then you should be able to negotiate year four pay. If you put salary parameters on the seek website it will only show the jobs paying between those. I'm not sure what you would get as I am an RN2 at the top of my band (top band 6 equiv), however you should be able to get the payscales from either ANMF or SA health websites.

Yep.....a bit warm!

Hi What is your specialty? There are jobs of course but not as many as there are in other states. I work for a non government organisation and really enjoy it. The people are great. I have found the Doctors to be far less superior (or up themselves) than UK Doctors and treat nurses with respect whereas many Drs believe themselves to be Gods in my UK experience! Wages are better here and overall I have less responsibility for more money and you get paid approx 9% super (pension) on top of your wages which is great. My organisation also offer salary sacrificing which is a great way to save on tax. I would look on http://www.seek.com.au or indeed.com.au for jobs. Good luck with your journey

One of my work colleagues husband is a crane operator and has been for a long time. In recent times he has been made redundant several times, currently he is working but not in Adelaide, somewhere in WA I think. He is Australian and struggled to find work so I don't want to sound like the voice of doom but I don't think your partner's chances sound too promising. On another note I think the obligation to stay in SA is a moral one and if you cannot find work you can move interstate freely enough although obviously it's a huge upheaval. Good luck.

Hi We moved here from the High Peak over 2 years ago and love it. Having visited other states we're really happy we chose Adelaide. Lots to love, little to dislike apart from the hoon drivers! My organisation do lots of work in schools/youth work especially around the safe schools curriculum and are currently looking for staff in that area. Might be of interest to you? I can pm u the name of the organisation. Our main office is in Woodville which is in the west so not far from beach suburbs.

I've reported hoon drivers recently. Never had any follow up from the police but hopefully they caught them. Absolute idiots. Make my blood boil!

Thanks! We landed on the 7th Nov ☺

2 years today since we left the UK. Of course we've had plenty of challenges along the way, such is life but we really and truly haven't looked back. Indeed, roll on citizenship! ☺

I'm stoked! Love Amazon

So it didn't work out for you in Hewett? There are lots of uni.students in Mawson Lakes so hopefully that will be better for your teenager.

Hi. There is more info on poms in oz but basically she needs Anmac for visa and ahpra for registration - equivalent of NMC. If she has a degree then all good but if.not cannot get registration here without it. You don't have to be in Australia to apply for reg.

I also live on a River road. Its been a dry creek for years but is flowing strong now and burst its banks on Thursday. Thankfully its receeded a bit now. Hopefully no more heavy rain to come!

I think Snifter has said everything I would say really. Can't gush enough about the amazing skies here. The sunrises and sunsets are just beautiful and the wonderful wildlife all around. We have pelicans daily on the wetlands near my house. They are amazing.I love the open space and the quiet roads (out of the cbd of course), I love the wineries, the farmers markets, beaches and parklands - the way everything is set up towards leisure/family time and much of that is free. Very cheap fuel and transport makes it easy to get out and about exploring and means you don't have to spend a fortune just for a day out. Mostly free parking too. Excellent cycling trails/walks, love The Fringe and all the shows and festivals, cannot understand why someone would say Adelaide is boring. There is always something going on. We totally love it here, it suits us perfectly, we have all settled well and I'm really glad we chose SA as our place to live.

I'm going on Wednesday with my son. First time for us, looking forward to everything ☺

My daughter went to Canberra on a school excursion for a week and they packed heaps in to 5 days! The Mint, war memorial, questicon, parliament houses, botanical gardens, cockington green gardens, laser quest, national dinosaur museum, australian institute of sports. She said 'it was amazing they just didn't have time to spend enough time at each place' I't was so much fun'. And thats coming from a grumpy 13 year old!!

We are going to Sovereign Hill at Ballarat in October. Heard lots of good reviews but not been before. I think, as Tamara says Qld is better in our winter. Great Ocean Rd is fab if you haven't done that. Loved Apollo Bay.

Gawler hospital provides maternity care and has Bensons radiology which is excellent but it is a smaller country hospital.

I would second what NicF says. I commute occasionally from Woodville (which isn't too far from Semaphore) to Hewett, which is on the edge of the Barossa and it takes about 50mins. I wouldn't want to do that every day. There are lots of nice suburbs that would be much better for commuting North as already suggested. I agree that Semaphore is very touristy and is the only place I have noticed dog poop on the streets.....my ultimate pet hate!

Thanks for the heads up, I have prebooked one. Will keep a close eye on it!

I'm off to Qld next July! I'm not loving this weather! Roll on spring!

We've booked to skate next weekend. Really looking forward to it!
