I think that pretty much covers it, ultimately it's up to the OP to decide which factors are more important to him.

I'm in a similar-ish place in life, and am seriously considering whether I need to apply to work in Australia before I lose the ability to get the <30 visa. Having kid(s) makes it more challenging to move for sure. Losing grandparents babysitting is a big loss, imo.

Also, how is your wife going to feel about uprooting again if you decide working for the gov't is destroying your will to live after a few years?
If you think you can make it happen and you can get the visa, definitely do it!! I saw parents travelling with kids when I backpacking and they looked like they were having a great time. Australia is a great place to raise a family. Definitely apply for the visa and sew if you and your wife can get it!!
