My Daughter and partner should get Australian residency early next year. My wife and I plan to join her on a Contributory Parent Visa.
I am 61 years old and my wife 62.
We are both fit and well. My wife is a qualified and experience radiographer, still working part time. I have my own company delivering training and assessments to gas, electric and water industries. I am full qualified in all aspects of Gas, Water and Part P electrics Also Cert. NEBOSH (health and safety) and Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development, Qualified Teacher (Cert. Ed.), Qualified Trainer (TDLB NVQ3 Training and Development), Qualified Internal Verifier, Assessor.
Both my wife and I have good pensions giving a current income, besides our work income. We also have good savings and own our own house.
The questions I have are:
1. How much will it cost for the two of us to migrate?
2. How long is the process likely to take.
3. Are we likely to get work when we Migrate and would we need to do anything to get our qualifications recognised.
4. What is the cost of living in Australia relative to England. We would like to move to Brisbane.
Also our Son would like to Migrate.
He is 32 years old and does admin work for a theatre. He has computer skills, and does sign language. He would be our last remaining relative.
Could he enter Australia at the same time as us?
What would be his costs and how long would the process take?
What is the job/work position for him?
Thanks for any help
