Optometrist Sarah Wassnig has created a group of about 40 expatriate Australian and New Zealand optometrists who are keeping in touch through email.
Sarah discovered in her experience of having moved countries twice that it is incredibly hard to re-establish a career in a new place without knowing any colleagues. After meeting other optometrists in the same situation, Sarah started up a support group.
Australian and NZ optometrists planning to move overseas are also encouraged to be part of this community Please email expatoptoms@gmail.com if you wish to join the group.
