Client Testimonial - The Wilson Family

We still can't quite believe that we arrived in Western Australia almost five months ago. We chose Visa Bureau as our agent and we really can't recommend them highly enough. My husband and I spent many years dreaming of a "new life down under" and we took a couple of trips to Western Australia to discover what was on offer, before making our final decision. Visa Bureau were with us every step of the way. I know at times, my questions and anxieties about our application would have driven them to despair but in our agent Sue was always on hand to reply by email or phone and we were so happy with the service we received.

I am a UK Health Visitor and Paediatric Nurse, my husband works for London Underground in a management role. He currently works as a FIFO employee, spending 12 weeks at work and a month here with us. At present, this works as he is in a well paid job with prospects that will enhance his CV in the long run so we take it as a move forward rather than a setback. Although our family life is not perfect in that respect, when he is home, we have a month together to enjoy real quality time, something we rarely experienced in the UK with our work schedules as they were.

I have recently set up in business within my area of expertise helping families with children age birth to five and I'm excited about the future and how things are unfolding. My children are young and enjoying a fantastic life in the Peel Region of Western Australia. They have swimming lessons in the sea, the school is full of cultural and arts pursuits and despite what we were told initially, the schooling system here is second to none.

The rose tinted glasses have come off and we are now really "living" here but I must say that I cannot find fault in anything. The laid back lifestyle, the friendliness of the people and the ongoing support of the expat community via social media and the local community is unrivalled. When we first arrived, I was a little taken aback by the friendliness and generosity of the locals. We have had Christmas street parties, neighbours arriving with snacks and conversation at the drop of a hat and we are about to go round to our neighbour down the road who has invited us to an Australia Day party. The feeling of community here is second to none and I would not change it for the world.

Thank you Sue and thank you Visa Bureau for helping us to achieve our dream. Did I mention how beautiful the beaches are? Come and visit!
