Meet the Relocation Team

Hi, We are Doug and Stacey. We moved to Perth in January 2024. We have two girls Taylor aged 16 and Gracie aged 13. Our fur baby Toby also joined us from the UK after a 30-day stay in Melbourne quarantine.

We have been chasing the Perth dream for over 10 years and feel very lucky to be here and have such a beautiful place to wake up to every morning. We live 10 minutes from the city and 5 minutes from the local bustling Scarborough Beach. We chose to be in the centre of Perth, so we have everything at our feet.

I look forward to helping you with your relocation, and any help or advice you need whilst starting your journey I’m here.

G’Day,

I’m Clarissa, I live in Adelaide, South Australia with my Husband Wynand, our son Wynand Jnr., our daughter Lara-Lee, and our not so little tuxedo cat Sokkies aka Socks.

We Immigrated to Adelaide, South Australia in 2022 from South Africa as a family of 3 on a 482 visa with just 6 bags of personal belongings.

Once we set foot in Adelaide, we started the process of rebuilding our entire life here. We soon after adopted a kitten from the RSPCA to have a little furry companion in our home and in early 2024 we welcomed our little baby girl into our family here in Adelaide. We are currently in the process of obtaining our Permanent Residence which we are extremely happy and thankful for.

We have been around the block with immigration processes on a lot of fronts, we have faced all sorts of challenges, and I know how stressful and confusing immigration can be. Packing up our life, saying goodbye to family and the life we knew, and starting over in a new country has motivated me to help individuals and families have a softer landing based on my own experiences and the things I have learned since immigrating in 2022.

Adelaide has welcomed us with open arms, surrounded by lovely people that have since become friends and even some that have become our non-biological Australian family, our own little village.

Hey!

My name is Becci and my partner and I emigrated to the beautiful Gold Coast with our 3 children aged (5,5 & 4) in early 2023.

We absolutely love the outdoor lifestyle, the fresh food, and of course the 300 days of sunshine a year!

We originally attended a DUC event in 2018 but after just having twins decided it wasn’t the right time for us to move. Roll on 4 years, and with one more kid in tow we started the visa process and a few months later had our 190 visa approved!

My husband is a plumber. I am a veterinary physiotherapist, who’s currently enjoying being a stay-at-home mom to our two-year-old. We successfully secured a superb rental before arriving in Aus but experienced the tough job of finding a new one on the ground after our landlord sold our first rental 6 months in. We did manage to find a wonderful and central rental home that we had for a year. Currently, we are enjoying a bit more of a country life in the home we purchased in early 2024. Resultantly, I have spent many an hour researching Adelaide and surrounding areas in all housing aspects!

Hey there, my name is Terri & I live in Wollongong, New South Wales with my husband & our three boys; Louie (16), Georgie (15), and Teddie (13).

We signed up with the DUC in May 2020 & were finally granted a 491 visa in September 2022.

We traveled around Thailand for 5 weeks before settling in beautiful Wollongong in April 2023.

Me & my husband have started two successful businesses, our boys have settled into school very well & we managed to secure an amazing rental.

I look forward to helping you 😃

Hi, my name is Laura & I live in Brisbane (Queensland) with my husband George and our son Archie who is 4 years old.

Hi, I’m Jules and I live in Adelaide with my husband, Liam and our 1 year old son.  We came on holiday to Adelaide in 2019 and knew from that moment on it is where we wanted to live. We love the relaxed nature and never being too far from the beaches, vineyards and hills. We lodged on-shore in 2023, at the time our son was just 4 months old.

Having been in the position of needing a rental soon after landing, then spending precious jet-lagged days queuing to view rentals, I understand how immensely stressful it can be. That is why I am passionate about taking that pressure off you, so you can focus on starting your new life down under.

I like to think my background in Human Resources; reading CV’s, cover letters and interviewing candidates is what helps me to secure rentals. I would love to do that for you too and support you on your journey to Adelaide.

Hello! I’m Barbara, and I’m thrilled to connect with you. I reside in beautiful Brisbane with my husband, two teenage boys, and our lovable Pug, Peppa. Since making the move in 2017, I’ve experienced firsthand the ups and downs of immigration – from the bittersweet goodbyes to the challenge of finding the perfect place to call home.

As someone who’s navigated this journey, I’m passionate about helping others make their transition smoother. My goal is to provide you with valuable support, so you can focus on the excitement of this new chapter, rather than stressing about where to stay 😊

Hello all, my name is Emily and I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast with my husband and our two daughters, Dolcie (6) and Harper (4).

My husband and I came to Australia on a working holiday visa in 2012 and since then we have wanted to be back. With a few delays setting us back, 2024 was our year! We decided to lodge our 190 visa onshore and we are now living the dream! Sun, sea, and happy faces all round.

We used the DUC for our visas and relocation rental search and we are very grateful to them.. such a great team!

Back in the UK, I was a primary school teacher and my husband is an electrician. I have been through the process and I am here to help you. Finding your rental, school information, advice, and anything else to make the process and journey into your new life as smooth as possible.

I look forward to helping you find your special place here on the Sunshine Coast.

G’day! We’re Carl and El, a fun-loving duo who packed up our lives in Dorset, UK, and made the big move to sunny Brisbane, Australia, in May 2024. Along with our adventurous 2-year-old daughter, we’ve been soaking up everything this beautiful part of the world has to offer—fresh air, endless sunshine, and a whole new backyard to explore! 

Carl works for Queensland Police as a frontline skills trainer, bringing expertise and a passion for safety to his role, while El works in a pregnancy spa, helping mums-to-be relax and feel their best. We’ve settled into a charming old Queenslander in Cannon Hill, and we’re absolutely loving it. 

Since arriving, we’ve embraced the great outdoors—weekend beach trips, bushwalks, and discovering all the hidden gems Brisbane has to offer. Whether it’s a scenic drive to the hinterland or a lazy afternoon by the river, we’re always up for an adventure. We’ve quickly become familiar with the area and love sharing tips with newcomers and locals alike! 

Life here has been a whirlwind of new experiences, warm welcomes, and endless discoveries, and we can’t wait to see what’s next on our Brisbane journey!  

Hey, I’m Jemma and I moved to Brisbane in July 2024 with my husband and two kids from Glasgow, Scotland. Our move came around pretty quickly – just 12 weeks from my husband securing a job, to saying our goodbyes and stepping on that plane.

It was all a bit of a whirlwind but having actually used the Home Search Service ourselves, we found this took such a massive stress away and helped us to secure a fantastic house. As we had never been to Brisbane prior to moving, it was so helpful getting insight into areas from someone actually living there.

Now that we have had some time to settle in, we are enjoying discovering what Brisbane has to offer, from the city lights along the South Bank to catching some waves at the beach, we have fully embraced our new life.

I look forward to helping other families through the process of making the move and helping to alleviate any stress around the home search.

Hey, my name is Louise, and I live in Brisbane, Queensland, with my husband, our three children, and our dogs.

We started our journey to Australia in 2012, visiting on a Working Holiday Visa and instantly falling in love with the country. After securing our 190 visas over a decade later, we made the big move from the UK and haven’t looked back! Since arriving, we’ve settled into our new home, and our children are loving their new adventure.

I know firsthand how exciting relocating can be, and I look forward to helping you on your journey! 😄
