Hi Jules,
Come to a halt at the moment,can you give me some more details,is your OH going to do it.
Thanks so much hope to here from you soon.
Luv Gwen x x x
OH will go out to Australia if he meets all of the requirements and get the AQF111 certificate as long as he passes of course.(he had better not come back home if he doesn't) Once he has this we can then get him assesed and then apply under pathway E. Age is not on his side and we don't want to hang around waiting to hear if Pathway D is coming back in and in what form so we have decided to go for it. Costs are around £4,000 in total and that is with GoMatilda completing the whole process even the Visa application if we hopefully get that far. Sounds a lot of money but it is paid in stages and worth every penny if we get there so fingers crossed.
Hi, my OH is a painter and decorator and he went to the Expo yesterday.Queensland Government are going to sponsor him,so they do need us.If you look at "career one" on web sight they got loads of jobs.I am putting this info on here as I think its a good idea to put this thread on Brisbane Returners,I have noticed someone else have put a thread on painter and decorators just hope they read this one. Come on all you painters and decorators in UK and OZ start talking LOL Thanks Gwen x x x x x
My sister is in Brisbane and she said they are crying out for painters.
Excuse me for asking but how old is your husband ? My step father is a fully qualified P&D but is 47!!!!!
Hi, my hubby is also a painter & decorator. We are heading to Qlds as soon as this b****y house sells!!! Aaaargh. Will be watchin this one as any advice is much needed & appreciated.

Hi Jules, Thanks for the advice,so is it GoMatilda that are sending your OH to Oz and is the 4,000 for sending him to Oz and the whole visa process, sorry for asking all these questions but like my OH is on the age thing as he is 44 this April. Thanks for everything Jules. Luv Gwen x x x x x x
Yes the £4000 includes the whole visa processs and then we would have to add on police checks and xrays ect. I need to check with GoMatilda regarding flights and accomodation and we have to take into account that if he has to go for 2 weeks then he will loose wages due to being self employed. We have just had a repy from another company that are over here next week that offer the same qualification they are £900 dearer than GoMatilda but I am not sure how much longer it will take. We will see what happens when we meet with them next week and will then decide who to go with from there but I think it will be GoMatilda because although it may be 2 weeks out of the country it will give him a chance to meet with other employers and will show that we are keen by making the effort and expense of going out there for the course. I will let you know how we get on.
Thanks Gwen x x x x x
