International Relocation Playbook

Who is this playbook for?
This guide is written for families relocating from overseas to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It is especially useful if you:
plan to rent first before you buy
are juggling work, school, pets and visas
want a clear order for admin tasks rather than guessing what to do next
prefer someone to explain how things work in Queensland, not just link you to government websites
