Teachers Moving or Living in Australia
VERYSTORMY replied to TeacherBen's topic in Careers and Vacancies
Yes, you need to establish you were a de facto couple in order to be included on another applicants visa. The length of time you need to have lived together will vary a bit by visa. Temporary 457 visas need to establish 6 months. For permanent visas 12 months -
Why not just pop into Bunnings and buy some new plugs and replace the UK ones

Teachers Moving or Living in Australia
VERYSTORMY replied to TeacherBen's topic in Careers and Vacancies
you need 4 years at uni level / degree level. You our also need to look at jobs - they are very thin on the ground for primary school teachers and there are a significant number unemployed -
I have to agree. <br>I am dyslexic and did not even know until I was in my early 20's. But UK schools are now very geared to it and have a great set of procedures in place. <br>While in oz I have found it is woeful and even worse at university level. At uni level I have found it varies between no idea of what it is to "oh that". Compared to the UK where I was given a multi thousand grant for specialist equipment, a fibre optic line put between my home and the department, several thousand in software and a department that made massive changes for dyslexics. <br><br>

There are a series of hoops they need to satisfy. Including a balance of family test - if you have brothers / sisters not in Australia. Then it is expensive - about $123k for two parents. They will also need to pass medicals.

189 - Work experience assessment from CPA Australia
VERYSTORMY replied to Raymund's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
It looks to me that you only have experience since December 2013 -
He can investigate if citizenship was obtained before he left. If not, then a RRV would be his only hope. But it would be a pretty slim hope. If that fails, then I can not see any visa option.

"Urgent" citizenship ceremony for students - anyone with experience?
VERYSTORMY replied to LukeM's topic in Citizenship
You would be better starting your own thread than posting on threads that have not been active for a long time. -
I would def try another state

I agree with flag. Stunning areas but pretty limited job wise.

The salary is very low, but if you want an adventure then why not
-
Its a small city in the far north. Make sure you get accomodation provided and a reasonably salary as it is VERY expensive to live - rents are often over $1000 a week

I go Dubai to Perth every other month and sometimes they screen at the gate and sometimes they dont.
-
Never had secondary screening in Oz. Though usually get it in Dubai - not always. Get in most African countries and in Dar es Salaam you cant even get in the airport till screened

Hi Danny I can only comment on mining. It is hard for anyone to break into mining at the moment as there have in the last 12 months been a number of redundacies in the mining industry. So your chasing jobs up against people with experience. The issue is your visa. I believe you are on a WHV. This is a major problem. You can only work for an employer for 6 months. Inductions for mining companies can be a month. Training is then upto a couple of months. So, with only 3 months of actual work, it isnt worth it for them. There are also issues with mining in QLD. Most of the mining is coal and this requires very particular tickets, without which you can not enter a coal mine. Lastly, there are issues with being a plant operator. It isnt the same as the equipment used in mining - a face shovel might look like a normal loader, but a normal loader can be fitted into the bucket of a face shovel! The main industry job site is infomine.com and go to the careers section. Good look with your hunt.

You would need FIRB approval (Foreign Investment Review Board). But that is just a formality. There are some restrictions, but there are many non residents that buy. I would recommend renting for a while though to see where you like

There some threads discussing this in detail so I would search for them. However, ultimately you are going to need legal advice.

Not come across this one before, but it doesnt surprise me as rights under the Fair Entitlements scheme are not the same as employment rights. Two different things entirely. You could have a initial consultation with a employment lawyer for not too much money who should be able to say if you have a case or not pretty much straight away

Are you aware that WA only has one diamond mine? They announced redundancies yesterday. Opal mining is carried out, but it is very small scale - largely individuals with a pick. Also, diamond mines will require a degree, plus usually a DeBeers accreditation.

do you regret moving for reasons other than missing family/friends??
VERYSTORMY replied to a topic in Aussie Chat
I wouldn't worry about it. I have never been asked for it and I dont know anyone that has, including guys with 20+ years in the game. Far more important to be able to act as competent person for reporting. I have a mate in Greenland with Black Angel who loves it. -

As you know, I prefer FIFO. It is the shorter swings that keeps me in Oz as I prefer not to go back to long swings. Week on week off suits me fine. In saying that, roles for me in greenfield exploration are becoming thinner and thinner on the ground in Oz and I am now looking at roles outside of Oz. I have put my hand in for a role in Spain and another in Ireland. The later are offering a salary about what I get now and it would be residential. I do find that the long fifo rosters can be good, if the job is good. Best job I have had was in china on a 7:1. Would go back in a flash. I know, having done several years of brownfield / near mine exploration, I never want to see a mine again.
