Hello, wondering if anyone on here could help....I graduated University (UK) last year as a Building Surveyor, and I am currently in Australia looking for work in this field. Prior to this I worked as a carpenter in the construction industry for 7 years. I am finding that building surveying roles in Australia seem somewhat different and have been told that my degree does not translate to Australia (regulations etc). i have been advised to apply for project management positions instead. Wondering if anyone has advice on this....particularly as i need to put forward my visa expression of interest soon and unsure of the skills category i will fall under! any advice is appreciated thanks Chris

I have the same problem trying to get in to the prison service here too...only taking permanent residents or citizens. However, GEO group (private) informed me yesterday they do offer sponsorship for the right candidate. I know they are currently recruiting in Sale, Victoria...they have a prison in queensland too Good luck
