Hi all I'm hopefully moving to Australia towards the end of next year, I've been going through all the different visas available to me and the skilled migration one seems to be the best for me personally, I was seeking info on how is best to get this, is it best to go through a migration agency or just apply directly on the Australian government website? Thanks in advance for replies and feedback

Thanks for the replies, I've read on various forums it is pointless going through vetassess to gain the A class license, are there any English electricians who have moved to Australia who can advise me on a clear cut route to gain this? There seems to be a lot of confusion across forums and different ways to gain the license. I've read that the JIB is recognised in Australia? Is this at all true? Thanks, Lewis

Hi all, I'm in the early process of migrating to Australia, preferably looking to move to the sub-urbs of Melbourne. I am looking to get some clear advice on the steps I need to take to be recognised over there as an electrician, employment prospects and general living. I'm 21 years old, served a four year apprenticeship, along with a further year and a half experience, gained my C&G 2330 level 2+3, 17th edition, AM2, NVQ level 3 2356 and inspection and testing 2391. I have extensive experience in all aspects of heavy industrial work and commercial work along with testing. I do also have moderate experience in agricultural and domestic work. I am also a JIB graded installation electrician (soon to be upgraded to approved electrician),- I already appreciate that a lot of people say none of my qualifications are recognised over there, but surely Electrical contractors over there can appreciate English equivalents along with written references, even my NVQ log book as evidence? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance, Lewis.
