    @toking no minimum age for child care here. Mostly 80/day ang daycare. Ang ginagawa ko naghahanap ako ng babysitter 50/day. At yung Thursday & Friday salitan kami ng I ang mummies na mag babysit for free basta dalawin Mo sa house yung baby with food, nappies. Balak ko mag form ng mummy and baby club for new pinoy here especially sa northern Brisbane but no one seems to be interested. Kasi makakamura ng childcare at pinoy pa ang titingin sa bub. Kasi ang dating horrors of daycare nanaririnig ko. And first hand experience ko rin kasi ng initial ko bub sa daycare naging sakitin tapos na huli sa hagdan hindi ako inform. At maganda yung mum and bub club na sinabihan ko kasi enjoy yung bebe ko kasi may kalaro

    Hello Pinoys in Brisbane! Nandito kami ng wife ko sa Sunshine Coast (nagaaral siya sa USC ng Nursing) pero wala kami mahanap na work eh. Actually kahit blue collar ang hirap maghanap dito, kaya naisip namin maghanap narin dyan sa Brisbane.

    Almost 7 years ang experience ko sa IT, almost 5 years sa project management and 2 years as Business Analyst. Kaso under student visa palang kami, so part-time or 40hrs per fortnight lang allowed ako magwork. Baka meron pwede tumulong sa amin? Actually nagtry ako sa SEEK and LinkedIN, may mga tumatawag naman na employers. Kaso kapag nalaman nila na student visa palang ako, umaayaw na sila agad kasi fulltime daw ang kailangan nila.

    Kahit blue collar or kahit anong trabaho muna, kaso until 8pm lang ako pwede kasi magcommute lang ako from Sunshine Coast papunta dyan sa Brisbane.

    Salamat sa lahat and God bless :)

    Jan 2015 - My wife studied for IELTS (Academic)
    Feb 2015 - IELTS Passed (minimum of 7.0 for Nursing)
    March 2015 - Gathered requirements for student visa application
    April 2015 - Lodged visa for 573 (Higher Education) for my wife (Nursing)
    May 2015 - Student Visa approved!
    July 2015 - Flight to Sunshine Coast

    As of Aug28 - No work yet :(
