I've recently started a new job (6 months ago) in the security industry here in the UK working as a trainee security engineer installing and servicing fire alarms, intruder alarms, cctv cameras and access control systems. I'm currently 27 and hoping to emigrate to Australia within the next 3-4 years once i have gained enough experience maybe sooner. As the job only offers in house training and with no certification at the end of it will i need a form of certification in order to emigrate out to Australia? If so what certification will be accepted city & guilds? Also what additional courses would i need to do in Australia before i work in this industry out there? Thanks

Hi all, I'm hoping to emigrate out to Australia in the near future and wondering what i'd get taxed for working and living in Australia on a sponsored 457 visa or permanent visa? What percentage would i need to pay on income tax if i were to earn 70,000-80,000 AUD a year and other then income tax what other payments are likely to come out of a salary? Cheers :smile:

Hi all, I have just started a new job here in the UK as a trainee security engineer with a dream of one day in the next 3-4 years moving out to Australia to do this type of work ( I'm currently 27). For the first few months to a year i'll be working alongside a senior engineer installing and servicing fire alarms, cctv cameras, intruder alarms and access control systems. Having been told that I won't be receiving any certification once I've completed the training which is all in house training will the experience along with a job reference be enough to emigrate to Australia in the future or will i need that certificate to show that i am qualified to do the job?

Hi all, My occupation is currently on the skills wanted list (i currently have 6 years experience working as a satellite installer which i believe this comes under the electrical equipment trades worker on the list) how much should i be looking at spending for a permanent visa? Also with this visa am i able to add me girlfriend onto the visa aswell or will she have to get her own visa? ( she has just recently qualified as a beauty therapist)

Thanks guys for your comments! Can someone recommend a good place to start for farming work if me and my girlfriend arrive in march/april next year? We plan to get 88 days farming/regional work out of the way first to give us that option of staying an extra year if everything works out.

Hi all, First of all me and my girlfriend are looking at going to australia next year ( between march and april) on a working holiday visa. Having spoken to a few travel companies real gap and sta travel they both offer the same package ie flights,whv, hostel for the first week, australian bank set up, insurance and a year contract with a job agency plus job advice all for around £750pp exclusive of flights. Global work and travel agency offer everything that I've already mentioned and a job opportunity as well. Has anyone on here ever used any of these agencies? If so what advice can you give me? Am i better off booking everything myself or booking through one of these companies? Also where would be an ideal place to start the working holiday experience job wise? Many Thanks

I am looking at booking a holiday to Perth from London when is the cheapest time to fly there and what is the best airline for legroom?

So would you say that your better off with what your doing working in Australia compared to working for Sky in the UK? can you claim any of your expenses back with what your doing out there?

I'd be happy to move to any state wherever the work is but ideally either Western Australia or Queensland.

Yeah it is something that i am looking into I'm currently working for Sky at the moment as an engineer. I'm hoping to get a job as a Foxtel engineer but can't see any Foxtel engineer jobs going as of yet. I have submitted an expression of interest on the immigration website and will see if anything comes of that. What are you currently doing for work?

Hi Dan How did you get on with working for Foxtel did you manage to secure a job?
