blossom Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Congratulations! It doesn't hurt to try to network, but I think you'd struggle to find work before getting here and getting all your licences or whatever it is (white cards??) sorted first. Good luck.

Please advise. regards, Darren Hi, I'm a Carpenter and Joiner by trade and awaiting for our visas to be granted. Where do you live. I've already sorted my White Card out through a company in London. Been advised by them that it might take longer to obtain in Australia and I wanted to be prepared before going out there. Let me know if you need their details. Price is the same if you do it here or in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of companies won't accept them as there is no proof you have actually done the course. I did mine in the first week of being here at a recognised training centre. Cost about $100 and took about 6 hours. They take your picture and you leave with your card. Just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
