Adeena had a Relocation Call with Gemma, WA

”Tanya and the team are fantastic they pointed us into the right direction and advised us how to relocate successfully from the UK to Australia. The PowerPoint/PDF sent to us after the meeting was great.

We are using it as a guide to help with the relocation process. We are now going ahead with the team to help us find a rental property before we emigrate.

Lavinia had a Relocation Call with Tanya for QLD

”My call was with Karen, Karen was lovely to talk to and very informative.

I needed information about moving to the state of Victoria and had a list of questions ready, which Karen was able to answer, with relevant slides and appropriate links. She was so relatable and was happy to share her experiences with me, she sent us the useful PowerPoint and extra links we needed.

I would highly recommend a call if you are looking to get information.

Thank you so much.

Punam had a relocation call with Karen for VIC

”What a great call!

Tanya was awesome, it's great to have a brit that's made the journey guide us through the upcoming process.

Everything from packing lists, to do lists, energy costs and services, home hunting, skills assessment for my sparky trade, getting sorted with a hire car and more.

Travel insurance to cover the gap between health insurance and medicare set up was a great tip.

Swapping my wife's NHS pension, what to do in the first week, like tax file numbers, driving licenses etc, and even shopping comparisons.

A great service, where Tanya has gone above and beyond after the call to connect us up with companies and services.

The DUC have been great! Highly recommend.

Ben had a call with Tanya (QLD)

”Had a great combined call where we discussed relocation and employment with Hayley who takes care of NSW areas.

Covered a range of important topics for my big move to Australia. She was understanding and very supportive and had lots of helpful tips & if there was something she wasn’t too sure on she said she would find out. It did not stop there I also received the the presentation with some useful links and connections to help with various things.

Would highly recommend DUC.

Richard had a call with Hayley (NSW)

”Gemma was very informative and lovely to talk to.

It was exactly what I needed. I just wanted to chat to someone who lived in the area and it gave me the chance to ask really specific questions that can only be answered by people who live in the area. Gemma gave me all the details I needed for the extra bits of information I was after. 10/10 would recommend!

Looking forward to meeting Gemma at the Pom meet-up 🙂

Charlotte had a call with Gemma (WA)

”My call with Tanya was very helpful, it gave me an insight into what life in Brisbane might be like. I liked that it was an interactive session, where I could ask questions about lots of different things for someone who had done the move. I would recommend booking a call with the DUC as you come away with practical steps that you need to do in preparation to move.

Stephanie had a call with Tanya (QLD)

”We had our relocation call with Gemma yesterday.

Going into the call, I was feeling anxious with all the worries etc involved in such a huge life decision of emigrating with four children.

Gemma put my mind at ease with her exceptional knowledge of most things WA.

She is a very friendly, professional agent who has made our decision to make the move so much easier.

The cost of the call is completely irrelevant and in my opinion, truly priceless.

Thanks again Gemma. We are now excited to advancing in this process with yourself and The DUC team right behind us every step of the way.

Mr and Mrs Jones had a call with Gemma (WA)

”We recently had an incredibly informative relocation call with Tanya Fell, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Tanya shared a wealth of knowledge about family-friendly suburbs, schools, and arrival tips for our upcoming move to Queensland. It was great speaking to someone who has been through it all and getting advice off a former DUC client.

We now plan on using Tanya as our relocation agent. With 2 toddlers, we want to make property hunting as easy as possible!

The detailed PowerPoint presentation we received off Tanya also exceeded our expectations and has given us plenty of valuable information to delve into over the next few evenings.

We also want to express our gratitude to the team at DUC for organising this meeting. For anyone in need of dependable and knowledgeable relocation assistance, we highly recommend Tanya Fell and the DUC team.

Fingers crossed now for our visa grant soon!

We can't thank her enough for putting our minds at rest and for being so friendly and helpful.

As always we are very impressed and thankful for the level of service we have received at every stage of our journey with the DUC.

She helped us with a range of things such as jobs, rentals and banking.

We would highly recommend a call to help!

Thanks so much Michelle!

”It was great talking to Dave Wilson about our upcoming move to Adelaide.

So much information and a really nice chat. Dave is a top bloke.

The relocation calls are definitely worth it and would definitely recommend.

Lots of questions are answered honestly by way of just a nice informal conversation.

Thanks again Dave! See you soon.

Anthony had a call with Dave (SA)

”I found the relocation call with Gemma really helpful.

She was very friendly & knowledgeable on the WA area and put into perspective some of the suburbs we were thinking about for our move, such as distance and drive time from the CBD.

Getting schools right for our 6 year old was a main priority for us and Gemma could give an idea of schools in which may suit.

The relocation call really made a difference speaking to a person, being able to ask questions and not just reading a website.

Amber had a call with Gemma (WA)

”We had our relocation call with Tanya Fell Sunday evening. This lady is full of knowledge.

She's calmed our nerves down massively. Without a house to sell and just relying on our savings to get us set up she really reassured us and went through bills, how much it costs to set up, things that may surprise us when we arrive that'll cost money.

No question was a silly question. Since our grant in December our heads have been in a wobble. But since our call we have such clearer minds.

Thankyou so much Tanya! If you haven't booked a call... do it! Especially if you're losing sleep and super stressed about jobs, rentals and the move in general. We have our plan of action. Hopefully we have both secured jobs and I think we've found our perfect rental 💜 64 days to go 🇦🇺 ✈️

Amber had a call with Tanya (QLD)

”Just had my relocation call with another fellow Leeds Lass Gemma Teale in Perth.

Exciting times ahead!

After a year of gathering paperwork and overcoming constant hurdles, we certainly left the call with a lot more knowledge for the exciting journey ahead thanks to Tanya!

Highly recommend anyone who’s looking to migrate to sunny Queensland to reach out.

Thanks for all the help and hope to see you in November for the DUC meet up!

It was such a helpful call, and was so good to talk through everything with someone who has made the move and really gets it all!

Tanya was super friendly, really easy to chat with and gave us a few really great tips and bits of info for our move.

Highly recommend a call with her if you get the chance 🙂

Jess had a call with Tanya (QLD)

”We had a great relocation video call from Tanya over in Queensland.

The call was very informative and Tanya was really approachable, friendly and helpful. She was always happy to answer what felt like a million questions and also followed up the meeting with a copy of the presentation and lots of other useful info, including putting us in touch with other agencies to help with the move.

I can honestly say, that I would feel comfortable asking Tanya for help once we arrive in down under should there be any problems.

We highly recommend this relocation package video call, as it is great to get the questions answered by someone who is actually there in person, rather than subjective posts of social media.

Thank you Tanya for your help - it was greatly appreciated.

Alison had a call with Tanya Fell (QLD)

”We had a call with Jess regarding relocation to Melbourne.

We hope to keep in contact until we move over and she continues to help us.

Katherine and Sean had a call with Jessica McKean (VIC)

”We had a combined Employment and Relocation call with Gemma of the Down Under Centre on the morning our Visa was granted.

She was so friendly, helpful and really knowledgable and definitely re-ignited our excitement for our move to Australia.

Anything she didn’t know she researched and got back to us about really promptly and the call has given us lots to think about and to consider while making plans for our new Chapter.

Steve and Georgie had a call with Gemma Teale (WA)

”My partner and I had a combined package meeting with Jess, from the DUC hub, to discuss our move to Victoria which will be taking place in October.

Firstly, I would really like to thank Jess for being available at such short notice, and at a time that was not the most convenient for her. Jess was super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. She was able to recommend different services that would assist us in our move as well as advise on the pitfalls to watch out for. When I asked a question, she couldn’t give a definite answer on she went away and found out for me which was so helpful. I was very impressed with the service and the advice given. She informed us of things that I had never even considered we should be organizing before moving or when we first arrive, as well as what important things we should have at top of our priority list. She was able to advise on suitable areas to live that suited our lifestyle, job occupation and financial situation, as well as the options open to us for buying and renting in relation to the visa we would be arriving on.

The service was excellent, and I would really recommend the services offered by Jess, as well as the whole of the DUC staff. Many thanks Jess and good luck with taking up surfing this spring!

Lisa had a call with Jessica McKean (VIC)

”Big shout out and a thank you to Dave Wilson for taking my wife and I through our relocation virtual call today.

Good to get that buzz back after switching off from it all for so long.

Relocation hub and the combined call for employment and general re-location was fantastic and Dave was awesome answering all our many questions and putting our minds at ease.

Getting excited again now as we finally received the HAP ID for our youngest. He was taken straight down to London for his medical 2 days later of course.

Now just waiting in anticipation for that Jenny call.

Daniel had a call with Dave Wilson (SA)

”We spoke to Dave after arranging a call with him through the DUC.

This call was invaluable and the timing spot on as we are only a few weeks away from flying to Adelaide.

Not only did he reassure us and answer all our questions, it reignited our excitement for moving to Australia!

Couldn’t recommend him enough and I have no doubt we will continue to stay in touch.

Penelope had a call with Dave Wilson (SA)

”I found the call extremely useful. Brodie was very helpful and has really put my mind at rest on a-lot of topics.

I have been wanting to talk to someone in South Perth for ages, so when I saw what the DUC had put together I was really looking forward to chatting with an agent.

Brodie was very friendly and extremely helpful.

Big thank you

She was absolutely brilliant. Answered all the questions we had and really made us feel at ease. She has all the information you may need about moving to Queensland and speaking to someone who has already done what we are going through now was perfect.

I 110% recommend it to anyone who is thinking about using this service to get it booked in ASAP. Tanya went above and beyond for us and she is a lovely person. Looking forward to meeting her when we arrive in December.

Jonathan and Natasha had a call with Tanya Fell (QLD)

I wasn’t sure what to expect but Jess was amazing! We chatted about areas to live, schools, banking, tax, health ins, cars and pretty much anything else we could think of.

Georgie and Steve had a call with Gemma Teale (WA)

”I had a relocation call with Gemma from the DUC hub to discuss our move to Perth which is taking place in February next year!!
It was super easy to book the consultation and I was on the call within a week of enquiring!
Gemma was really knowledgeable, very friendly and approachable. I felt like I could ask whatever I needed to and she answered the questions fully.
Gemma was able to recommend different services that would assist us in our move as well as advise of any discounts available for DUC customers. She followed up a query I had with one of the services and was very efficient in doing so.
She gave me information I hadn’t even thought of and helped me to become more organised in my thoughts about what needs to happen next.
Gemma’s actually living in the suburb we wish to move to which was a bonus as she had so much experience/knowledge of the area, surrounding area and things to do with the children.
The service was tremendously helpful and I would recommend this service to others who are looking for further information/clarification on relocating but also to those who would benefit from talking to someone who has successfully moved over and is settled in Oz!
Thank you Gemma!

Sharmaine had a call with Gemma Teale (WA)

”Had a really good chat with Brodie last week in advance of our move in December. It was so lovely to speak to someone who has recently made the move to an area we are also going to. In such a short space of time of being there, Brodie has learnt so much about life SOR in Perth and gave advice on things I wouldn’t even have thought about. Highly recommend getting in touch with her if you are moving SOR.
Thank you Brodie and look forward to meeting you after we’ve arrived!

Amy had a call with Brodie Roberts (WA)

”We had a relocation call with Tanya today and it was absolutely brilliant!

Tanya put us at ease really quickly, answered all of our questions and reignited our excitement about moving to QLD after a relatively long wait for our visa approval.

Speaking to someone who has done this journey before us is super helpful and would absolutely recommend this service to everyone!

It was great to have all our questions answered and we are looking forward to to having a wine with Tanya when we finally arrive!

Marie had a call with Tanya Fell (QLD)

I’m sure we will find his advice and guidance was going to be invaluable. We left no stone unturned and he was able to answer everything. What an awesome and genuine guy!

Thanks DUC

Considering we have been to Australia before on a WHV we still found it useful and informative. Thank you.

”After our relocation call with Dave my family and I feel reassured and excited about our move to South Australia.

It was great to hear from Dave about the reality of an international move and offered a real insight into the situation on the ground in the area we’ve chosen to move to: invaluable as this helps us to manage our expectations and budget according to more accurate pricing.

I’d really recommend using the relocation service and especially if you speak with Dave, as he is really knowledgeable, offers great advice for families and is a genuinely lovely chap.

”I had my relocation call with Tanya, ahead of my move to the Gold Coast. The call was super helpful, Tanya created a personalised presentation, with useful information tailored to my needs. Tanya talked everything through with me, and was happy to answer any questions I had.

I would 100% recommend booking in for a relocation call ahead of your move, to help you understand what to expect, what you need to plan to do before you arrive and once you are in the country.

After the call, Tanya sent me the presentation so I have access to the useful information whenever I need it, she has also introduced me to relocation partners to help make the move easier.

Thanks so much for the 5 star service Tanya!

Daisy had a call with Tanya (QLD)

”Myself and my husband had our Relocation call with Hayley recently, we honestly couldn't fault her! Hayley had prepared a tailored Powerpoint and was able to answer our questions about relocating from the UK to the Sydney area. She gave us some really useful hints and tips about the process and some suburbs to consider, which we hadn't thought about during our initial searches, but are now firmly on our radars! We cannot wait to make the move now and definitely would recommend speaking with her if you're moving to NSW!
