The IELTS can be done at any point however if you need it for skills assessment then you have to take it before that stage. We employed migration agents and they did take a huge chunk of our money. We have now received more information from our own investigations but since we employed them at the beginning and paid in full there is no other option for us. If you do your research thoroughly you should sail through easily.

Please check whether you are required to write the academic or general test. I am a social worker and i was required to write the Academic but I did not know until after I had sat for the general and passed the second time. Needless to say I had to sit for the Academic test eventually. I passed first time with that one so I am now at the skills assessment stage with AASW

Hello Anz This is my first post on this site since I joined and I was drawn to you post because I am a social worker and my hubby is a refergiration and airconditioning engineer. We were also looking at migrating to Melbourne because we attended a seminar in 2012 and spoke to immigration representative who sold the region of VIctoria to us. I joined the sister site "life in Victoria" to get more information and so far so good. We have employed migration agents as well who have informed us that we will be eligible to apply for 190 Visa based on our points we have at the moment. As the main applicant social workers are being sponsored for 190 visa by Northern Territory, New South Wales and ACT. Which blows our initial plans for Melbourne out of the window. You will find that your location of interest is often dependant on your points scoring and type of visa you can apply for. At least this is what happening to us. However I have been informed that after 2 years it is possible to move to another region if the entry visa used is the 190. Hope you find this information helpful.
