Has anyone heard of these people? We are retiring to Oz and before we commit to an area to live, we thought we might do some housesitting to try out various locations throughout Australia. I would love to hear from anyone who has tried them.

Hi June,

They are a well known organisation here. From memory you have to pay a few hundred dollars to register and then produce valid references etc.They are above board and I think ultimately, once you have passed through a few hoops, the house owner then chooses the sitter after meeting with a few applicants. I've only heard good things about them and it would be a great way for you to familiarise yourself here. regards, Jane

Hi June

Hope all is going well with the application I never received an e-mail at work but if you still want to swop information please drop us a line at frankwilk@yahoo.co.uk.
