Hi Yvonne
We've looked at the 176, but the WA Dept. for Education and Training have a sponsorship process in place only through the 457 route. As a secondary school teacher, the 176 route would only be an option if I were sponsored by an independent or church school, not a state school. I have spoken to a recruiting agent (SMART Teachers) for non-state institutions; they said it was unlikely that whilst independent schools did sometimes offer jobs on the basis of a telephone interview, they were not likely to offer sponsorship as well. Howver, this is a line I will follow, until the 'not likely' is replaced by a 'No'!
If you know of any other angle I might take with the 175 / 176 visa , I would be grateful for your advice?
Many thanks
Neil
