Bad News

I e-mailed an agent for some advice and he said our occupations were basically not on the list and not required in Oz. The only option we have is to get a job and get the employer to sponsor us - but that is unlikely as they would need to convince the government there is no-one in oz who can do our jobs. There must be another way in??!!

We are pretty sure we want to go to Perth area, have been looking around Joondalup?

I think we will probably wait until we are a bit further down the line, don't wan't to get our hopes too high yet, and then seriously start getting advice (probably from here) on places, schools etc.

We are also hoping to bring the fifth member of our family over - a very nutty wheaten terrier called Winnie - so this is something else we would have to consider. I think I will be asking lots of questions here soon!!!

You must be disappointed - but don't give up. If anyone can help you find a way in you'll get help here.

The whole process is so daunting - my OH is having to sit an English test in order to get extra points. Sits it this weekend so fingers crossed, else we will be looking for another way in too.

Fingers crossed for you too - hope you get some good advice and ideas on how to get going.

Julie
