    Did you build your own place in Tasmania Toots ?
  2. Rallyman
    Not to put a damper on things but your other qualifications ( working at heights, confined spaces etc ) probably won’t be recognised here in Australia, if needed you will be required to do the training here. Best of luck otherwise
  3. Rallyman
    Best advice in this thread !

    What line of work are you looking at ? , this will have a big say on your location, We lived in Sydney for 6 years before moving out ( sans Souci and then monavale to Hunter valley, Sydney is a great place but a nightmare to travel by car and get to work , I have sat in traffic for up to 3 hrs for a journey that takes 20min with little traffic. Newcastle is a great place it’s definitely on the up but costs are expensive and closing in on Sydney prices quickly. Traffic is also getting worse by the year. The days of buying cheap housing is long gone in Australia unless it’s in the middle of absolutely nowhere

    Traffic is bad across all of uk. Sydney is a giant car park and getting smashed by road tolls and don’t mention parking fees while the op had some great stuff on the list reality is very different unfortunately.

    Not sitting in traffic, the op better get use to it in Sydney oh and pay those tolls .

    We moved over when 44/46 ( 12 years ago now) achieved more here in those 12 years than I would have done in uk, I am carpenter / builder by trade but mostly off tools now more site/ project management. Wife is a chemo nurse we have had ups and downs but I still think it’s the land of opportunity if you are prepared to put the effort in. only regret what you have not done , good luck what ever you choose
  8. Rallyman
    Are you referring to drug dealers and abuse?
  9. Rallyman
    12 years for me as well and a similar story , if you are prepared to put the effort in the rewards are there
  10. Rallyman
    All the best if I can help send a message

    As said you will have to go through RPL I had my apprenticeship indentured papers , city and guilds, craft and advanced craft ( cert IV equivalent) Hnc , still had to do course with master builders and tafe , I had more years on site than actual age of tafe teacher , his words what the **** are you doing here
  12. Rallyman
    Getting a contractor license is pain They won’t accept any overseas qualifications at service nsw who issue them , you have to get these recognised either through Regagnition of prior learning or a fast track course through master builders and TAFE its all money
  13. Rallyman
    Yes as an employee

    You need a licence to be working and running a business ( Australia likes it’s red tape) Most preferably want you as a pty ltd company to abolish any risk of paying super or tax for you you will still be required to have income protection working as a sole trader many companies are putting people on wages now. also construction is quite different in Australia to uk might be worth reading AS 1684 timber framing codes to help get you up to speed you will also need your white card ( safety course) simple 1 day course. there is plenty of work about good luck

    It’s been very quiet down in sydney, was down there 2 weeks ago and 6 weeks prior for weekend visits. hotels are quite pricey at the moment, we tried the Adina appartments basic but ok cost was good considering location (darling harbour) . 3 min walk to Barangaroo wharf were you can take the ferry round to circular key. We did stop at crown towers on a trip down back in November very expensive while rooms and food there is up with Dubai service is not. Grand Hyat is ok if you book far enough in advance, try luxury escapes get some good deals on there.

    We rented a unit with a federal officer above us , there was a bikie from one of big gangs also on same floor, he ended up being shot in street outside the units between Christmas and new year (2011/12 ) by a rival gang.
