work prospects

Hello, we are a family of five new to PomsInOz, wanting to emmigrate to West Oz. OH is a decorating tutor. But will work in Oz as a painter and decorator. We have applied for sponsorship. Just wondered what the job situation is for trade jobs? Been looking on job websites and cant seem to find any? Is this because jobs are found by going to Oz or because there isnt any at the moment? jane

It does depend to a certain extent on where you are because some areas have been hot worse than others but as a general rules trades jobs in Australia are fairly thin on the ground at the moment.
