salary clarification

19 years ago

Hi, my wife, two kids and myself have spoken to an immigration consultant about relocation to NZ. However, some of what he has told us seems a little suspect. He tells us that the NZ$ has the same buying power as the GB£ does in England. When I have looked at info on ExpatExchange this does not seem to be the case (a loaf of bread for example costs $2.75 in NZ but I pay around £1 or less in the UK). I am obviously concerned that NZ may be too expensive for us to live in because I have also been told I will not even come close to earning a wage that compares to my current wage in the UK.
If anyone could shed a little light on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. It would also help if anyone could tell me how much I could earn as a social worker in NZ as I am getting very vague info from the consultant regarding this issue.
