Hi can anyone help me in relation to the skills assessment please my husband is a heavy goods diesel mechanic 321212 and we are wanting to apply for the perm skilled visa and bring over our two children. I went on the TRA website and it's says to under step two I need to go to vetassess.com.au so do I apply to the TRA or to vetassess or both as I am so confused on how to apply. many thanks Emma

Thankyou for all your help x

Thankyou one more question it says on the steps that I need to go to a tra approved RTO it says RTO conduct your skills assessment and when I clicked on it it took me to vetassess so do I apply to them first for a skills assesment before submitting it to the TRA I'm so confused as when I go on that site it says I must be a resident in Australia so not sure what I am meant to look for on that site. Sorry for all the questions xx

Ok fab it's the 189 visa thankyou x

Hi and thankyou for your response is it the offshore skills assement one I need or the TRA skills assement migration one please xx

Hi were moving to townsville this year we visited last year and fell in love with the place it's very family friendly too. My dad and some other family members live there too. My dad lives in Annandale but we have friends in idalia which is another good area. We are looking at them areas as the ooonoonba is one of the best schools in townsville so we would like to move there but we also liked the new bush land beach area as it was full of lovely parks and close to a beach too but it is further out but u do get more for ur money in that area for that reason but I'm not sure on schools or anything in that area. When are you thinking of moving there? Have you been to townsville before? The strand is lovely great for the kids and we also found a lovely outdoor pool by Douglas I think? With a park a lake and a pub a short walk away that's lovely aswel my oldest child loved that pool xx

Hi All, Currently in process of getting the skills Assement ready with TRA who do I get to certify the documents and how many payslips do we need for each job as it doesnt say on the applicant guidelines? Thanks In Advance Emma

Hi All, Me (Emma 28) and my husband Ian (32) and two children 17mnths and 5 years are hoping to move to Townsville in Sept/Oct (may be pushing it slightly but either way I want it to be before December! My husband is a Diesel Mechanic. We have only just started the process of gathering paperwork to submit the Skills Assesment and are hoping to submit this ASAP within next few weeks then as soon as that is back apply for a Skilled Visa. We have visited Townsville and fell in love with AUstralia. My Dad, his wife and my half brother live there as do other family members so we will have a very good support network. I also have a few friends there as went to school for a while over there when I went to live with my dad. I cant wait to make the move this year (hopefully). Good Luck to everyone who is making the move! Emma x

Hi all just wandered if anyone knows the answer to this question please me my husband and two children are looking to emergrate to Townsville QLD as my dad lives there and my husband is a diesel mechanic which is on the australian skilled perm visa list but when we have looked on the queensland skills lost it doesn't seem to be on there we would have a company sponsor who is based in townsville does this mean we can't apply for that visa now as it's not currently on list for queensland so would we have to go for the perm residency visa instead? Thankyou to anyone who can help emma

Thankyou so much by agent do you mean the London embassy place x

And one last question sorry! Would I be able to put our two children on that application or as they our mine too wouldn't they be allowed and I would need to do a child 101 visa? X

How would I know that I could sponsor him before we apply would I have to be in employment?
