Where to start?

[julie1981]

Hi everyone!

My husband and I are considering moving to OZ and I'd really appreciate some advice on where to start and the best migration agencies to contact.

I have done one online assessment and unfortunately neither my husband or I are in jobs required on the austrailian skills list. I work in HR and my husband is a sports physio.

I've contacted the agency a couple of times with questions about alternative routes to emigration but they've not been entirely helpful.

We live is Glasgow and have a 3 year old son and a baby on the way so we'd be really keen to start this process now while the kids are still young and can make the best possible start for themselves in a new countly. Also, my husband and I are 29 so don't want to leave it too long. Having a family and mortgage committments etc means going back to university to gain a qualification in a 'desired' skill isn't really an option for us.

Does anyone have any advice on really good migration agencies or has anyone been in a similar situation?

All help, advice and comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much

Julie

Have you looked at the imigration sites visa wizard. that will tell you what visa is available to you if any are ...

Australian Visa wizard - Visas & Immigration

If you do not have a skill that is needed by Australia then you may have to consider retraining in something that is needed here.

I have put links below to two reputable agents who will be honest with you about your chances of a visa.

Go matilda

Go Matilda - Your Gateway to Australia - Visa, Tax, and Financial Planning for Australia

Visa Bureau

just very frustrating that decisions you make when your 17 can have such a huge impact on decisions you'd like to make as an adult
