Hi , need some help! So we are trying to get parents out. But I'm confused about the payments of the visa. The second instalment for CPV would be like $43.600 per person! So this second instalment , is that just a huge lump sum you pay the government ?? Or does it go towards you living over there??? How does it work?? Any help would be appreciated!!

Oh ok! Don't know about the getting up earlier , but I'm loving the finish so early. Lots of time after work to do stuff, like chill on the beach hopefully! Thanks Ausborn

Also what are the hours brickies are working over there? Is it a real early start - early finish?

I'm a bricklayer in brissie. I wouldn't get outta bed for less than $600 a day. That would be the average if I worked my weekly pay out. I'm a subbie though. Workng for someone it's gone up to $40 on average a hour. It's busiest it's been in ten or more years at the moment. Even gumtree has loads of adds. Very hard finding bricklayers. Work is all started getting held up. Means money will increase more. We are in a good position. Great time for brickies .

Hi, glad to hear that Bricklayers are in demand right now. What is a subbie tho?? $600 a day sounds good haha!

Ok ... Since no one has answered this thread, yet hundreds of peeps have looked at it, here it goes.

Someones uncle who is a bricklayer and lives in Brisbane says $35 an hour @ 8 hours a day!

He however works in the mines 10 days on 4 days off , earning $500 a day!!! Also an option for someone who can bear to be away for that long.....

So my other half is a Bricky and we will be Brisbane bound in Feb 2015. I'm trying to get organised ...but I can't calculate anything as I don't know how much my husband would be earning... Anyone know bricklayer wages, and hours?? This would help a lot !!!
