Australia is a great place to work and live whether you're single or a family person. Great schools, low crime rate, amazing beaches and a sensational outdoor living lifestyle.

I've facilitated the move for several Information Management specialists this year from the UK, Hungary, Sweden, USA, Canada, Argentina and South Africa.

Your visa will be sponsored and supported by the company and this is considerably quicker than the full offshore visa process. If you have already logged an application - great the process time can be improved.

It gets better - you can claim 'Living away from home allowance' ( LAFHA ) which can make 30%+ addition to your salary. We can assist in referring professionals in Immigration and LAFHA services.

I look forward to speaking with you
