Meet the Relocation Team

My Husband is a Carpenter/Joiner but is currently working as a Glazier for a company in Joondalup. The boys are in local High and Primary schools. They are really happy in their chosen schools, and we feel we made the right choice for both, having the specialist programs they can get involved in, such as soccer and marine studies! 

Moving states has been a big adjustment, but we all feel really settled here in WA, and love all there is to offer, amazing beaches, beautiful scenery, lots to do with the kids, there is always something to do here! 

Any questions regarding a move over to WA just let me know, I’m happy to help! 

We’re an adventurous family of 5 who moved from South Wales to Secret Harbour, around 40 minutes south of Perth city centre. We’re always here, there and everywhere making the most of the sunshine and creating incredible memories we won’t forget as we restart our life here in WA.

My husband Jack was the main visa applicant and we came over on his job which was a Mechanical Fitter. He originally got a job in the Naval Base in Henderson whilst we were still in the UK finalising selling our house. Our vias got granted as it was a specialist industry and skill set. After arriving and working in Henderson for around one month, another opportunity arrived for him as a Supervisor in Welshpool which he is now loving.

We have settled into our everyday life in Secret Harbour pretty well, our boys are loving the outdoor lifestyle, my eldest will attend pre-primary in January, once he turns 5, in our local school. Our 2nd will be starting pre-kindy once he turns 3. There is so much for the kids to do here we are constantly at a park, beach or out for coffee with friends and making the most of what WA has to offer

We love being outdoors and especially love the beach, which is where you will find us at any given opportunity. Paddle boarding, fishing, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking – we do it all! Picnics, BBQs, and dinners on the beach with friends watching the sun go down with a few beers are our thing.  

We navigated the housing market and managed to buy our first home here last year. It is a few minutes from the coast with a pool and fits in with the reason we moved here. Our kids are settled in school, and our eldest started high school recently, so we have had a couple of years of change.

I look forward to helping you with your relocation. I can help you with all manner of things from figuring out where to live, finding a school and job, budgeting, form filling, and most things in-between. 

I love living in Adelaide, and feel I have vast experience coupled with being a previous migrant myself to help you.

first walk in centre for people looking to migrate to Australia. We built an amazing culture for migrants and I surrounded myself with a professional, brilliant, fun and caring team of experts.

While in London I met my wife (Tara)  and we had 2 little legend Sons, Jett and Jax. When Jett hit primary School age we moved back to Melbourne and currently live on the Mornington Peninsula. My British wife Tara wanted to live near the beach so chose what we believe are the best beaches in Victoria to base ourselves. Born an Aussie but spending most of my adult life in the UK, moving back was totally new and I was amazed how much Australia had changed in some ways and in other ways had stayed the same. Since returning to Australia, our family is growing with a baby girl on the way (Jan 2023). Watching our boys out and about in the Australian sun, living the life we wanted to create was hard at the start but worth it now we are settled.

I am one of the plumbing skills assessment assessors, work with employers, chat to our amazing clients on how to move and offer advice on how to relocate while still working with our UK and Australian team.

down to Wollongong in the Illawarra where we are currently enjoying beach life!   

I am now here to help other people who maybe as spontaneous as us or more prepared and planned to make the move. With guidance around the madness that is the plumber’s journey, navigating the move with kids, informal advice around banking or simply NSW fun facts! 

2 weeks after our visa grant, we were on that flight, we had sorted a rental, emptied our home in the UK and came with just our clothes in an amazon version of the sports direct bags and even though it was a crazy few weeks we have settled in just as quick 

Our area has so much to offer, and we spend most weekends with the kids going to new parks having a BBQ and beaches and venturing into Melbourne where entertainment is endless. 

I hope that if you move to Melbourne area, I can help you in anyway I can from airport meeting, to bringing round a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Please, ask me any questions and I am happy to help. 

2020, luckily, she is able to work on her bridging visa. 

We love to get out and about to see places around NSW. We are big foodies and love to try new places to eat, although the day trips and eating out took a hit with covid. We also got a covid puppy (mini Dachshund) so love to take her to new places or for a run around in the local parks. 

We have been renting for the last 4 years but have recently purchased an off the plan apartment which will hopefully be built and ready to move in my Christmas 2023. 

I look forward to speaking to people moving to NSW and hope to be able to offer you some tips and recommendations. I am happy to help with house hunting, finding a job, form filling and any other things that you may need to help you with a smooth transition into the Australian lifestyle. 

With our careers thriving with great rewards since touching down.  

Our little man Mr Harry is in a local school, smashing educational goals and honestly enjoying every moment, of all the outdoor experiences and sports QLD has to offer him.  

I’m here to help, offer support and advice for you and your family the best I can. This is an absolutely massive life change but the best decision I’m sure you will make. We came here not knowing a sole, so me and my family are here for you, as a port of call where we can share our experiences or even be a friendly face to start you on your way, in living your best new life here in the sunshine state.
