I am 52 and my husband is 50 and is a roofer by trade and has been for
25 years.My son lives in Perth and has done for the past 10 years my
daughter and her family are also there on a temperary visa. Me and my
husband are looking into going over and were looking at the parent
contribution visa but have been informed by one visa agent to expect a
cost of �?�?�?£30.000 other than the parent visa which is a 9 year wait is
there any other way to go.We would like to locate to Perth in the
Joondalup/Woodvale/Carramar area and was wondering if anyone knows of
any good agents for advice and jobs.

Thanks Annette

but where theres a will theres a way!

Correct Annette, the high fees are to buy in to Medicare (NHS
equivilant). A min 50% of your children need to reside in Australia.
There is the investor retirement visa but its even more around
�?�?�?£400,000! This is alot cheaper. Other than that you could be
seriously out of options.
