Hi Guys,

Been trying to find an email address for Vetassess to tackle them about the process required when you arrive in Oz for electricians but can't seem to find one?

Does anyone know if there is one floating about or am I going to have to set my clock and call them?

Hi, it's www.vetassess.com.au if you are wanting to know about the process once in Oz then you would have already done the Vetassess bit so my advice would be to contact the trade department for whichever state you are looking to go into, i have the NSW details if you are coming this way...

All the best...

Hi

I would like to know how easy is it to get a work sponsor in Australia if you are an electrician from the UK?

I am looking to moving to Queensland near friends in Caloundra, however, before I even apply for my visa , it would be gret to know if it is at all possible?

Also, are there any websites out there where I can either put my details on for australian employers to look at for work sponsors?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated, as not to sure which way to go next??

Many thanks

ANDY

Thanks! ................ I will look at SEEK, and in the meantime, continue with my visa application. I noticed your listing of stages you have done, is this what I need to do "step by step"??

Apologies, but a bit of a novice with this!

Friends of mine in Caloundra, have said that alot of people travel the 1 hours journey to Brisbane to work, which if needs be, I am happy to do.
