  1. Hope this might help some.. l know you are not coming out on his job but this site also gives an idea on how it works and recognised over here.. might have to trawl through it a bit... http://www.acwa.org.au/migration-assessment/guidelines-welfare-worker
  2. Hi Debbie this is a very rough idea, as most 457 visa's pay out for private medical as well[ $80000 after tax.... this does not included your medicare levy [TABLE=class: resultTable] [TR=class: head] [TH]2015 - 2016[/TH] [TH]Weekly[/TH] [TH] Fortnightly[/TH] [TH] Monthly[/TH] [TH] Annually[/TH] [/TR] [TR=class: foot] [TH]Pay[/TH] [TD]$1,169.46[/TD] [TD] $2,338.92[/TD] [TD] $5,067.67[/TD] [TD] $60,853.00 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] QUOTE=Debbie Stuart;1936945352]Myself and partner are hoping to move out on a work sponsored 457 visa later this year. He is expecting to be offered a salary of around 80k per year but not sure what deductions or allowances we will need to take into consideration for his take home pay. I know he will pay tax and super is on top of his salary but what about Medicare etc. He is coming up to 50 so is it age related. Also I am 56 and wonder if anyone has experienced any problems getting a job at my age. I have worked as a office/finance manager in a kitchen manufacture / retail company for 23 years and would like to stay in an office admin type role. Any ideas of salary expectations for me? Any help,or advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you
  3. Not that this has much relevance to six figure sums but l think its all categories........ l work in disability and uk is offering 7.50 an hour... here l am getting 25.00 to 30.00 an hour.....
  4. It is all good and well saying this is the way to go... do these families have to cough up this money before school starts as most of us have been through the beginning of year costs for your child to be at school... not counting the books etc.... and we can't forget this is worked out on your actual salary before tax ... not worked out after tax.... eg.... $57000 equates to $880 a week take home... hmmm not looking so great now... take home for the year $45,933 and before argument breaks out.... that is with the tax threshold ... so just to open it up a little.... average rent.... $300-$450 per week... food.. bills...transport... clothes... children stuff... not a lot left... and to cap it all off pay private health insurance but hey wooohooo to 457 paying more than some private schools charge...no l am not a 457 anymore but that's how it started for our family.... all l can say is thank god we did it 8 years ago before all this crap started...
  5. Hi there Mel You will find that he will have already done quite a bit of the work already laid out for year 6 in the uk and plus... It is a shame that you didn't put this up sooner as l would have said you could try him out for the Gifted and Talented that they have for high school l think you missed the dead line but have a look at http://www.det.wa.edu.au/curriculumsupport/giftedandtalented/detcms/portal/ We have a son that was in the same boat but made it in the gifted and talented classes in Duncraig... really glad we did he now completed yr12 last year and just started uni. Good luck. Ps Duncraig has gifted and talented and a school based academic extension class which are the same but one is government and the other run by the school but on the same par.
  6. Well guess l kinda let that one work out as l only work 4 days a week so l get long weekends... never see a Monday rush hour....... yep life is for living... learnt long ago that 2 jobs didn't have to mean working 7 days.....
  7. Now l don't know whether to feel guilty or lucky.... l have 2 jobs.... shucks....
  8. Don't know for anyone else in Australia etc but l found this one that's for perth http://webtrak5.bksv.com/per3 OH fifo... can see him come in click on the plane and it gives you the number and where its going or coming from... just a bit of fun
  9. Have posted this on perth poms so just sharing it here as well.... To anyone that might be considering using TRA to further their application and get their qualifications recognised there are some major changes since October.... apologies if this is already around......​ "Australian Recognised Trade Certificate (ARTC) programme has closed. No new ARTC applications will be accepted. Any ARTC applications received that are post-marked 1 October 2014 or later will be returned to the applicant unprocessed, and the application fee will be refunded." http://www.tradesrecognitionaustrali...as-closed.aspx this link will also give any further info that someone might need
  10. good news is that they say 3 months so anything before that seems like a bonus.... you never know.. ya could get lucky
  11. ok so things not so great .... have you got any written evidence that you have taken mediation ... if not get a copy of anything written down... then tell your company to shove their job where the sun don't shine... they cant touch you if you can prove there is a break down of the working relationship with your job... the only thing they can hit you with out of pocket costs if it is written in your contract that you will work the minimum 2 years ... it has to be written in... if no such thing in your contract you can walk tomorrow and they cant do a thing, and they don't have the power to revoke your visa either unless you broke the law... leaving a job does not break the law especially if you ever had to discuss the situation which l doubt. Also the idiot causing the trouble probably be glad to see you go... win win.....
  12. I think reading through this on their website it would appear that they are not that open in you just showing a certificate..... there are so many dual nationalities here that would all do it to save the costs and time. Sorry for not being good news.... "Once you have become an Australian citizen any visa you held ceases. As an Australian citizen you must always leave and enter Australia on an Australian passport. If you also have a passport from another country you can use that for travel once you have left Australia. People trying to enter Australia as an Australian citizen but without an Australian passport face difficulties and delays. The Australian Passport Office provides more information. If you also have a passport from another country you should always use your Australian passport when leaving and entering Australia. Be very aware that you can pay for your flights etc but at the airport you can be stopped from boarding for not following the right procedure... to how much you have to pay for tickets it would be a shame to be turned away just for a passport. l really feel that you wont be able to do it the way you are thinking of trying, other option is to go to airport and ask someone on one of the counters that deals directly with this everyday.
  13. Don't know if this covers what you are looking for but if l get this correct .... before Curtin allows him to do a major in mechanical engineering he will need to do what they call Engineering foundation .... The Bachelor of Engineering begins with an engineering pre-major, called the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). The EFY builds a solid base of the fundamental concepts common to all areas of engineering, which allows you to explore your options before selecting an engineering major towards the end of your first year. You will study in the EFY Studio, which reflects the layout of a modern office and will familiarise you with the style of a professional working environment. Once you have completed the units that comprise the EFY, you will need to choose an engineering major. In 2014 it costs roughly $3,025 but that does not include books blah blah blah... the list goes on for ever n ever... but please double check this by phoning.... he also needs a ATAR of at least 80 preferably covering [h=3]Essential WACE courses:[/h] At least three of the following: Mathematics 3C/3D, Mathematics: Specialist 3C/3D, Physics 3A/3B and Chemistry 3A/3B At least English 2A/2B, Literature 2A/2B or English as an Additional Language/Dialect 2A/2B [h=3]Desirable WACE courses:[/h] Engineering Studies 3A/3B
  14. l was in the same boat as you.... best money l paid for was going to a book store and buying a how to write an aussie CV/ Resume $19.95 especially in some sectors they are looking for something different than in the uk.... they don't want ur entire history for start.
  15. l wouldn't really push any direction.... e.g. Son when 5ish proudly announced he wanted to be a doctor.... l was chuft to bits that he was already captured by doing something wonderful...... driving to school (we lived in the countryside) he proudly announced he had changed his mind... curiosity got the better of me and l made the mistake of asking..... his reply whilst admiring the fields whizzing by......l am going to be a scarecrow.......... l never asked him again what he wanted to do when leaving school........... l am either gonna be a proud mother or l am going to have to buy a farm..... by the way he is sixteen now.... in year 11 and has set his sights on neurosurgeon ... there is hope yet.... l am saving all old clothes and a straw hat just incase..............
  16. Oh what fun.... l remember doing this when in the uk.... l ended up knowing more about the uk than my English OH/friends. The difference when l did the actual test at the centre the English one wouldn't tell you what percentage you got... you either passed or didn't. l mean what's the point in that. Get a highlighter and just get dates and important sentences in ur head... if you read it like a book it doesn't sink in. GOOD LUCK
  17. Hi kooky Don't know where you are looking to buy but l would really consider to start with just a house bought outright... pools are very much an ongoing cost and if people be truthful that after the first year or less the novelty wears off and to have no mortgage and freedom and maybe in the future upgrade and have all that equity to play with l would say that to get even a little mortgage you will only use a pool for the most 4 months (at a push) a year. a mortgage is an expensive thing to be paying off just for a pool. [ come down under . settle down have fun without having to contemplate mortgages... best advice l ever got from an aussie........... find a friend with a pool .......... lol .
  18. If you feel you have been fired unfairly , you need to put a complaint in within 21 days......A small business employer will be required to provide evidence of compliance with the Code if the employee makes a claim for unfair dismissal to Fair Work Australia, including evidence that a warning has been given (except in cases of summary dismissal). Evidence may include a completed checklist, copies of written warning(s), a statement of termination or signed witness statements. Under the Fair Dismissal Code, employees of small businesses cannot make a claim for unfair dismissal in the first 12 months after being hired. Employees of larger businesses are able to make a claim for unfair dismissal at 6 months. kind of a double edge sword if you ask me... but they still have to follow rules. check this all out at http://www.fairwork.gov.au/ Answers you want are in the FAQ
  19. In a family of just boys... my life consists of petrol.... noise and boiling hot days sitting on the side of a track watching boys n their toys.. so once a year l make them have some culture and we all troop down to cots to look at the sculptures . Interesting but l think they have had better.
  20. That barbie wave is totally freaky............ l didn't think it was as good as previous times.
  21. they might be limited but go on realestate.com.au and tick animal friendly.... click on the house advertising and then see who the estate agent is... get their number and have a personal chat to see how many doggy friendly houses they have on their books... do this with several agents you might get a higher result ....
  22. I agree with you that u get totally stumped by the tax man.... we are earning what you are and we don't live an expensive lifestyle. Only one teenager. Personally l would take a big look at the financial side of things. Australia can always be a good holiday. If you got PR you can always give it another go later on.
  23. http://www.licence.nsw.gov.au/new/categories/motor-vehicle-dealer-repairer#MotorVehicleRepairers hope that helps out
  24. Before you feel you have reached the end of the road before you have even started..... here is a site that might help you see what WA has to offer for children with autism... http://www.autism.org.au/ If you take the next step, your support cant be transferred to Australia but the more paper work you can bring with you to support your case the quicker and the more help you will get, good luck :yes:
  25. 457 Visa Holders—Your Rights at Work You have rights when you work in Australia The Fair Work Ombudsman and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) work together to help you understand your legal rights when working in Australia. Your employer must comply with both Australian workplace laws and immigration laws. There is nothing pacific to your question on hand but l would highly recommend that you contact these people and they can officially point you in the right direction...... http://www.fairwork.gov.au/factsheets/FWO-fact-sheet-DIAC-457-visas.pdf
