After arriving in Perth to spend my savings whilst waiting for my 175 visa to be processed, I followed the advice of many wise locals and approached potential employers for sponsorship. Today it has been confirmed that I have been offered a job and a 457 visa application. Not totally there yet but a lot, lot closer.

Hi Karen
I am thinking of doing the same as you. Coming to Perth in January and look for sponsorship as a hairdresser. I would be moving there on my own so a bit of a daunting task. It would be great to hear from you

Well done. My brother went to Italy on his own ten years ago and he never came back! It's a brave thing to do but I am sure you won't be on your own for long! Good Luck with the application, Bernie

Thanks for those messages. Definately not on my own though I did get on a plane by myself that is where it ends. It is so worth taking the risk.
