Me and my husband are looing to move to Australia

HI Everyone,

My name is Ursula and I currently stay in Pretoria South Africa.

I am busy with a Bachelor's Degree in Education Foundation Phase and will be completing my degree by the end of 2016.

Me and my husband are looing to move to Australia after my degree completion and would like any advise and information you can provide.

I have specific questions if that is okay:
1. Recommendations of immigration agencies in Pretoria
2. Cost involved for me and my husband (he does not have a qualification, only 15 years experience as a Motorcycle Mechanic)
3. Best place to stay that is affordable and where employment for a teacher and motorcycle mechanic will not be a problem. (not too fussy with regards to coastal or mountain areas)
4. Did you take your animals with and how does one go about this? (I have 2 Labradors and a jack Russell and 2 parrots)

Thanks in advance and looking forward to your response.
Ursula

You can use an agent anywhere in the world.  Many people use one in Australia, as they have the expertise for Australia.

Use the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority https://www.mara.gov.au/ to find one.

Pets can be brought to Australia, but need to go through quarantine.  http://www.agriculture.gov.au/cats-dogs

Shipping is also very expensive.  You should check that out first.  Shipping, permits and quarantine could end up being upwards of A$6,000 for the dogs

We'll if you are looing  , then may I suggest Inaloo in WA
