Firstly Gial I suggest you change your name to something more masculine, then you will need a Blue Card I hear day rates are about 280 bucks a day but price work is better .. here is a copy of an email i recieved from a mate in Sydney:

Dear Mark and Family,

well mate, just thought i would let you know the crack over here now. they
are crying out for Bricklayers in Perth and Brisbane, and some in Sydney.
companies are paying $750 a thousand in Brisbane and $1040 in Perth, that's
****ing good money mate.

You wont have any trouble getting a job or staring your own company, you
could even apply for a business visa.

been to Brisbane this weekend to visit my dads mate who is a bricklayer and
would get you a job no trouble. and i think brisbane is nicer than Sydney
mate, and houses are so cheap its unbelievable.

also a good mate in Perth is looking for Bricklayers, can't get them.

anyway take care and talk to ya soon.

Gleny.

alrite mate, i think the email aldo posted tells you how it is,more or less, it looks like most of the work is in brisbane and perth from what ive seen, day rate i was quoted in adelaide on average was approx $36 an hour, hope this helps a bit. good luck

hello cheryl,sorry cant help with the joinery questions, but its pretty easy to google search jobs in oz, aldo is on the gold coast, maybe he can help, i doubt your partner will want to retrain as a bricky, besides it will take a good few years for him to get anyways profficient,and there is no such thing as an electric trowel either!but seriously i would guess a joiners pay is roughly similar, good luck anyway
