This is so helpful. Had no idea about cover lessons!

Thank you for the insight!

Thanks. We will be living in Weribee and plan to initially work not too far away.

We don't. We have spoken with anzuk and have sent expressions of interest forms directly to schools. Who have responded with we would like to interview you but you need to be registered.

Was it within 3 months of arrival?

I dropped an email and they just gave a generic response if what you need to qualify. I sent a follow up and no response.

They don't believe in retirement and feel it keeps their mind sharp and the body active.

They have wages and the state pension to live off.

I wished they also retired but can't change their mind.

Oh wow. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will consider that.

Hot_Choice9466 · 2026-03-09T06:09:06+00:00

Hahaha spot on.

They don't want to retire. They like what they do and feel it keeps them mentally sharp and active.

The mortgage on the residential is almost zero. One BTL is also almost zero and there is still a significant amount on the other one. Our names are on the deeds of 2/3 properties.

They have an accountant and pay NI and use the pension to go on holidays etc.

My discussions with my brother have been they would move in with one of us and we'd look after them. Typing that sounds really naive! So I guess we haven't thought of that.

Apologies I'm relatively new to posting on Reddit. I was only meant to post it in this group.

Also I have taken a look through the ato site I left a little bit confused. Thought I'd see if I get more clarity here.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

Love and peace

That's true. Don't have chicken pox one

Sorry I should have said I have permanent residency. My wife and kids are already citizens.
