Jay:

‘I walked into our living area, and Joel jumped out of his seat while still on the phone to Jenny, trying to motion to me that we got the visa. At first, I had no clue about what he was trying to do or explain to me in hand gestures, especially as I am not a morning person. But then it hit me, what... we got it?!?!? Eventually, Joel hung up the phone and we were jumping up and down like crazy'.

BIG thanks for listening to the DUC Migrating to Australia Podcast!

In this episode, Wes is joined by Roger and Liz. They moved from Derby in the UK to South Australia in May 2023, on Parent Visas! 

They are the first grandparents we've had on the podcast, and they mainly made the move because both of their children have moved to Australia, and they wanted to be close to their children and grandchildren!
