We are applying for the visa subclass 489, my husband has a skill set on both the tasmanian smp list and the consolidated sol plus 20 yrs experience.. It's a temporary visa with restrictions but whether it's family sponsored or state sponsored, that was the visa the agent advised to us when I spoke to one last week. We are planning on living in Tas as that's where the family business is, so at the moment we are still researching the AQF, IELTS, TRA and where to do them. Also pet transportation. Thanks for the advice both ☺
