Chahal Family

Wanted Down Under Series 11
Episode 17 of 24

Families consider relocating down under. Can Suckie convince her son and daughter to buy into her lifelong Australian dream?

When Suckie Chahal was 14 years old, her family cancelled plans to emigrate to Australia, but for her, the idea of moving never went away. When she married at 19, thoughts of a life down under were shelved once more as she turned her attention to running a convenience store with her husband and starting a family.

Now, having survived the heartache of losing her husband and brother in quick succession, Suckie is determined to pursue a happier future and resurrect her dream of moving to the other side of the world.

All she needs to do is convince children Aaron and Priya that it's the right place for them too. Although they are old enough to remain in the UK, she won't contemplate going without them.

A trial week in Melbourne is Suckie's first experience of Australian living and a chance to get Aaron and Priya signed up to a move. Will the country be everything she wants it to be, and if so, can her children be convinced of the merits of moving to the other side of the world?

Chahal family update

When we last spoke with the Chahals they were in the UK and working hard to make their dream move happen.

Suckie is coming to the end of a 12-month work assessment to secure her visa and hopes to work for a beautician in Melbourne. She has also recently qualified to teach beauty therapy and hopes this will help with her career options.

Priya has decided not to teach, but still wants to work with children as an Early Years Manager. Aaron is at university and the family will contact RMIT University in Melbourne to see if he can transfer if all goes to plan.
