if any of you have any news about it, pls let me know, i would also like to take my helper with me to aust.

It is more about someone to look after us all. I think it is about 21 hours per week full time study and with 20 hours for us then she has better hours than now! Plus homework time!!! Kids will be at school/daycare during some days and just as most working families we will work out their travel etc around it.

I know all helpers have a brain - I was talking about the abilty to study which not everyone has the ability to, some are better at doing than academia.

vegemite_kid ,

i am just curious, how much per month are you going to pay in such a case?

just a thought. Instead of going about it through study channels to enter aust (Which the govt is very strict and send many back home for not complying)...what about under the title au-pair. They live with you, baby sit, help to look after the household and they are also entitled to do some study. Therefore you could get them to choose the many short courses available at tafe etc.
