Unleash One.... What about Visas? Is a working
holiday Visa suitable for this? I've tried to make sense of the Visa
information on the government's website, but failed so far.

Unleash and Unload Q and A from 27 June 2012
I'm 17 and I'm planning to become a govie next year. I'm finishing yr 12 this year but I'm not quite 18 yet so I'm probably best to wait until I am.
This maybe a really stupid question but with the school work for the children do you guys get like assigned what sort of stuff you need to be teaching them?
Is there any good advise you could give me with becoming a govie?
Unleash & Unload Chat Hour has began
Did you turn up Wednesday, 20th of June, 8.30pm EST for our FIRST ever Chat Hour?
We had 7 questions this week and it was fantastic. People are still commenting and I think I will actually post the questions and responses in a blog post when I have some time.
So after the first session I then was full of ideas.
- I am going to ask people to send in questions on the days leading up.
- I will encourage not just govies but even Home Tutoring Mum's to participate. The more people who give a perspective the better.

Good advice for new potential governesses.
ALWAYS vet your families. ALWAYS check or ask for references from previous governesses and other employers.
Join Outback Govies fb group and make friends with other govies in your area. This will help give you a support network before arriving.
Yes we encourage this so the Govie has an understanding or the family and their life before they arrive; dont want them thinking its like TV!
Check referees should be a must for both Govie and Family. It is important both provide it. My family didn't have a governess before me but a girl who worked as a jillaroo provided a character reference and when I got in contact with some in a govie group online they raved about how great my family was and how I was going to love coming up to work on in the area with them. It was a great move.
