Latest australia Frequently Asked Questions:
My husband has got a job in Sydney, Australia so me, my husband and two children are planning to move there sometime next year!!!! Could you please tell me what sorts of insects and bugs you get in Sydney? How common they are? Are they are dangerous? and Do they come into the house? Also I have heard that you get lodes of cockroaches is this true? If so is there any way to get rid or prevent them? And Do you get them in your house?? Thank You xxxxx
Answer:I'm not sure what you have heard over there but it's not as bad as you are making out...really. Bugs that can come into the house - well flies are a nuisance but not dangerous. Cockroaches are common but not dangerous but if you keep your place clean and tidy you wont get lots, if you get the odd one just make sure you have some bug spray and you'll be right. Ants - same thing spray the little suckers =D Daddy long leg spiders - not dangerous, same thing just spray'em. Red back spider is dangerous they usually like to take refuge in amongst wood or anything that is stacked/piled up somewhere, but when you go snooping for things just keep you eyes peeled for them if you see them then just spray them as well. You can get your whole place sprayed by professionals, just call the local exterminator and they will do the job. But don't be terrified by this it's not all that bad, you'll see what I mean when you get here. Good luck and have fun!! =)

is australia a safe place to live? based on 1.crime 2. disesase 3.animals thank you
Answer:It's as safe as anywhere and a lot safer than many countries. Yes we have crime much of it is drug related. I never see it only read about it. Diseases I don't here about any diseases other than usual things such as aids but you have to put yourself in the position to get that. We haven't had bird flu but there are a few mosquito diseases mainly in the tropics. I once knew someone that got Ross river fever but apart from that I haven't heard of any nasty things with people I know. Animals . We don't have anything that you are likely to come across . we have snakes but it's rare to see one. You wouldn't stand on the edge of a river in the tropics as you wouldn't know where those crocs are hiding. we have poisonous spiders and occasionally you might come across a red back but they usually hide under seats or something like that in the garden and you see the web so give them a good spray. What I don't like here is cockroaches. you can get sprays to keep them away from your home. so yes we are safe but don't make yourself vulnerable
How do i go australia,can i get job directly without studying there,can i get PR of australia?
Answer:You cannot work at a job in Australia without a work visa and to get a permanent work visa, you must have formal qualifications and experience in an occupation listed on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL); you must pass the points test ; you must have your skills and qualifications assessed by the body responsible for skills assessment for that occupation and you must meet English language, health and character requirements. If your occupation is only on the SOL and not on the Critical Skills List (CSL), you will have to wait until at least the end of 2012 (and probably longer) before your application is even looked at. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf (the SOL) http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/a-z.htm#a (required qualifications and skills assessment) http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/faq-priority-processing.pdf (visa processing priorities and link to the CSL)
