Well I do actually have a lot of skills for various jobs they require but no official proof or qualifications (being a professional musician and teacher), so my only option is to go on a WHV and look for related work when in Aus (hopefully Melbourne). Out of curiosity, don't suppose anyone know how much it costs for a company to sponsor someone on a 457? Been trying to look a while for the answer.

Thanks, and yes, after reading that link it does not include my circumstances!

Thanks for your replies I have one other brother and he lives in the UK. And my parents and cousins here in the UK are still alive. So this means no chance? Or do you mean if I'm the only relative trying to move to Australia?

How long do people think would be a good enough amount of time to wait between being back in the UK after finishing the 1st/2nd year on WHV and reapplying for another WHV (if that's even possible)?

I'm interested in this too, as I'm looking to find sponsorship in Melbourne. Just subscribed to this thread!

Awesome and inspiring - I may be hitting you up with some questions!! Congratulations

Just wondering if my dad's Auntie and Uncle who live in Australia is enough to qualify as a relative for giving me residency in Australia? And this is hopefully my first post of many - thanks for welcoming me! Massimo
