WelcomeIf you are new to Poms In Oz and migrating to Australia or currently living in Australia feel free to say hi to all the other either in or moving to Oz.
Hi guys, must say awesome forum, very informative. I have been looking at migrating to Australia for a while now, the Aussie lifestyle is certainly very appealing!! I am a vehicle bodyshop manager, my wife is in the mortgage / financial brokering industry and we have 2 children ages 8 & 3. Although we are both very experienced in our profession we have no formal qualifications, just wondered if anyone could tell us what you think our chances would be of obtaining a visa, and what would be the best area of Australia to look in? .
Hi Dez - welcome to PIO.
You might be best speaking to an agent about your prospects - they all give a free consultation over the phone and theres plenty of good ones recommended on here. Also check out Department of Immigration and Citizenship to see if your skills are in demand. As far as jobs go, try SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site as a starting point - that might give you an idea of possible vacancies for you both.
Good luck!
