Well done! :cool:

Is this your plan? :biggrin:

This sounds brill but a massive risk. I'm not sure how water tight the rules are? I'm in a position whereby my profession is not (as far as I can tell) in the postcodes areas that are stipulated by WA where you must live and work. Wouldn't it be fab to live in a stipulated area, secure a job in the Perth area (mine would be in a hospital), and also work a few hours in a stipulated area to cover the condition of living AND working in areas WA government have outlined, for a year, until you can apply for PR? :wub: I bet there's a minimum set hours you need to work to cover conditions of 475 Visa :huh: I can dream........:cool:

Thanks for your reply. From my point of view, I find the restrictions amazing, considering Oz reports having apparent skills shortages, my profession being one of them, then place restrictions on where you can work on a certain skilled Visa :err: I do realise this Visa empowers employers to recruit from overseas in those WA areas. I'll need to rethink my approach, but in the end, it could be a no go, unless I can secure employer sponsorship, which is proving difficult to organise from the UK :daydreaming:

Anyone? :cool:

I'm in the process of gathering information with a view to applying for WA state sponsorship under a 475 Visa. I don't have enough points for 175/176 Visa. My occupation, Occupational Therapist, is on SOL and in demand in WA. If I was successfully granted a WA state sponsorship, under a 475 visa, could I only live and work in certain postcodes, as described on the webpage below? http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/skilledmigration/Pages/RegionalclassificationforPerth.aspx This would be silly if this is the case, the jobs are in hospitals and other places that are not located within these post codes! :confused: Or have I read this wrong? Please help! :eek:

Congratulations and well done! :jiggy:

<p>Hiya</p>
<p>We too are thinking of either Adelaide or Perth. I'm pulled toward Perth for some reason, I'm not sure why. Did you set up your OT appointments via an agency? It will be interesting to see how different (or not) OT is in another country. I need to look into what I need to do to validate my qualification, etc, as it seems to have changed a bit recently. Are you the main applicant for your VISA? There's so much to look into, I honestly don't know where to begin! Do you know when you'll be going? Do you know which area you want to eventually live? We hope to do a reccie prob early next year, if not sooner. We've a 3 year old and hope that he'll travel ok!</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Hi there</p>
<p>Another qualified OT here, though working as a Mental Health community worker for local authority, as OT jobs are few and far between here in Devon <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p>
<p>I just wondered if you've secured an OT post in Oz? Myself and hubby are still deciding what to do regarding Oz, but I would be the main applicant if we decide to apply. Perth does appeal to us. Have you done a reccie?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
