Your D.I.Y. Move Guide to Australia is a relocation guide, written by experts who both experienced several of their own international moves with children and pets across four continents. They have helped and supported others with their relocations to Australia for over a decade. It can be used as a guide by prospective immigrants and international students who want to study in Australia. Many of the chapters provide the reader with professional knowledge, practical hints and valuable information that apply to all people who are thinking of immigration and also for those who already took the big step. It will further help the reader to avoid unnecessary and sometimes very costly mistakes. The motivation for this guide arose from the crazy questions and outdated advice on forums and social media. Saddened by stories of families who have been displaced or are falling apart, and the cries of money wasted, and expectations shattered, Robyn and Hendrika had to share their vast and professional knowledge: - To save you money on this expensive journey.- To help you and your family prepare for change.- To give you foresight, both financially and emotionally. The guide is filled with practical advice on moving with children and pets, expert tips for the whole family and lots of funny "faux pas" immigrant moments. In short, the authors have made or seen most of the blunders, and in this book, they share real-life stories, for your benefit, so you can avoid making the same mistakes. A smooth immigration process equals less stress and more positive experiences for the whole family. Between the two authors, Robyn Vogels and Hendrika Jooste, they have a total of 35 years of experience with international relocations and assisting newcomers to Australia. This guide provides you with the nuts and bolts of moving, and practical hints and valuable information to help you: - Plan and budget for the move and the cost of living in Australia.- Find a suitable home and school.- Deal with culture shock (the same, but different). You will find the knowledge you need to make a successful, cost-effective transition and create your own success story. Knowledge is power! This guide will save you money and emotional pain!
