We had enough of our own money to be able to put a deposit on a house, buy furniture and car etc... You really need to make sure you have enough financial backing to take care of your family etc...

And it is better if you both work...

Emma, hope this helps, but I know a hairdresser who went to Perth for 1 week in June with the sole intention of securing sponsorship - she did and they leave in October. So think there are probably jobs there ...... good luck. When you get your visa and flight booked, why not try lining up interviews from here then they know you are serious. That's what I'll be doing (if we ever get the visa)!!
