Hello all!
So I got my spousal visa several months ago, but now my Australian husband and I are packing up in the UK to land in Oz mid-February.
When I moved to the UK, I had to sign up for a National Insurance Number. I asked my husband about an Australian version, but he didn't remember signing up for his (whatever it's specifically called!) and in Canada (where I'm from), we call it a social insurance number. What is it here and how do I go about getting it? (obviously visa is on my passport).
What is the best way to look for work? In the UK, we use recruiters/recruitment companies a fair amount, is it similar in Oz? Or should I rely on LinkedIn? Are there job websites I should be aware of?
My background is journalism and communications for the charity sector, and I'll be moving to the Gold Coast/Brisbane area. (depending on where my husband and I find work)
If I'm missing an already-existing thread, if you could kindly highlight it for me I'd be very grateful!
Best,
Christina
