UPDATE - I emailed the address Paul gave me and called the immi hotline (provided below). Two days later my RRV was granted! 

Thank you so much Paul and everyone for your help,

Thank you Paul. I have emailed you too. Very grateful for your help.

Thank you VERYSTORMY. Any suggestions on who might be a good organisation to contact for the advice? 

Hi All.

I am looking for some advice please. 

I have PR and lived in Australia for around 14 months. I'm currently in the UK and intend to return to Australia long term before the end of the year. I have submitted an application for a 12 month RRV with evidence from my employer that we have significant business in Australia, so I'm fairly confident it will be granted.

However, the process is taking a while and my cousin is getting married in Australia in a few weeks time. Does anyone know if I can apply for a visitor visa while I'm awaiting the RRV decision and attend the wedding? I will leave after that and return to Aus if/when the RRV is granted.   

Many thanks.

Thanks Kevsan.

I can't say I have counted the applications so it is probably more than 100. Whatever the number is, I have applied for everything remotely close to what I do, under a variety of titles. Both permanent and contract.

Although you may have a point about the new financial year. I'm not sure I can afford to wait any longer though.

Hoffer... I am more functional than technical. My background is in healthcare and pharmaceuticals. My SQL skills are fairly good and I can build complex business processes.

I have managed projects before, but have no formal qualifications. Which everyone seems to want. I have applied for project management roles too.

Hi all.

I have around 7 years experiance as an Implementation/Delivey consultant in the UK, and have been looking for work in Brisbane for about 5 months. I'm sorry to say that I have received next to no response or feedback from any of the 100 or so applications I have submitted. I have a small amount of Australian experiance from a project a few years ago, but it doesn't seem to count for much. The market seems pretty dead or perhaps over saturated at the moment.

I have tried both recruitment agents and contacting companies directly. There certainly seems to be a 'who you know' rather than 'what you know' culture here. I have been told that a few times too.

Sadly I think I may have to return to the UK where I might have some more success.

Gutted.

PS: I don't want to put anyone off coming here. I really like it, but just wanted to let you know what I have experienced.
