  1. Thanks aba. I had as much confirmed today. Will just need to wait a few years as I start a human resource management degree in september and will apply once I have enough skills and experience. Fingers crossed kt will still be on the list in a few years. Thinking positive. ....more time to save :)

  2. Groomer isn't on either thats why I thought id check before we make rash decisions.

     

    The points were calculated by visa bureau but I said to her I thought the points had to be for a relevant course whereas they were for a course in healthcare!so im dubious

  3. Thanks for the response rupert. He is a dog groomer so neither are skilled. Someone suggested if on the rare chance one of us were offered a job and nominated then we could apply under off the list occupations? But im struggling to find anything

  4. In depth consultations/advice is a different matter, but lots of agencies (including the company i work for) offer free initial assessments.

     

    Going just from your first post I can tell you that there's unlikely to be many options right now. The occupation does not appear on the SOL or CSOL. If you're looking at a future application the CPAA website will give you the guidelines for what would be required to pass their assessment as an accountant: http://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/become-a-cpa/migration-assessment/requirements-and-criteria

     

    Would your husband perhaps be more suitable as a primary applicant?

     

     

    Thanks for that. That wasnt something they were prepared to discuss without upfront payment so maybe I need to find another agent.

     

    I actually want to do the training in Australia so I have a better knowledge rather than learning on the job once qualifying over here.

     

    Do things chance any if you have secured an offer of employment as I am in talks with a few very promising roles?

     

    My husband sadly is a qualified dog groomer so not in demand and he is happy to do either that or courier work depending on what work he can find but he has less education etc than me and does not meet 60 points

     

    Thanks

  5. Your best bet is to speak to an immigration agent - despite what your husband was quoted many DO offer free advice in the first instance. Or attend a Down Under Live event perhaps this certainly helped us get pointed in the right direction, at least as regard what visa we could get.

     

     

    Thanks. I checked for events before posting on here because I thought this would be beneficial but no events posted for foreseeable future.

     

    I am even thinking an agent may be best in our circumstances now as it is a tad overwhelming :chatterbox:

     

    I am pleased you got sorted :)

  6. Hi guys any advice would be greatly appreciated.

     

    I have read many threads and cannot find an answer to my query and when my husband called a company was informed we could pay £100+vat for advice by card :arghh:

     

    Is there any kind of visa I can apply for based on Accounts Assistant roles please? I have worked for 4 years in the uk as an Accounts Assistant but in a manager capacity and also doing credit control.

     

    I have a basic AAT qualification and would like to move to Perth doing the similar role but studying around working to educate myself to Australian Standards.

     

    The option of coming on a student visa is a no go area as I have 4 children and a husband and do not have the amount required up front for the cost of study, with limited work allowance in hours and also the funds they require to support the family for the whole 3 years.

     

    I have 65 points on the points system so I am hoping I will be eligible to apply for something that is a permanent option?

     

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    :)

  7. We went out in Feb to check things out and the one thing I didn't get time to do is pop into a few agencies to see what they need from you to register and how much and what type/wages the work was.... If you do pop in to see them let us know how you get on....

     

    I found that looking on http://www.seek.com.au and looking at the local jobs, the job descriptions kind of let you know what exactly they are looking for :)

  8. I have never been to Perth and like many plan on moving after graduation without a validation trip (as a family of 6 funds do not permit 2 lots of flights)

     

    But it is nice reading this thread as I will spend the next 3 years reading people's views and opinions; good or bad.

     

    What I think influences people's decisions is unrealistic expectations! We obviously cannot really imagine how we will feel until we get there but we do not have rose tinted glasses.

     

    We have our hearts set on Carramar and the way we see it is, we do not have much material wise in the UK so at least in Oz we will be moving with the same but will have sunshine :) Anything else is a bonus and it is down to us both to work hard for anything we have over there. But what we leave with will be invaluable; each other, a lot of love and determination to make it work.....I do not like flying so once we are there that is it lol! Just my input :)
