Thanks for the replies, just for info i have worked as an electrician for almost 16 years and been doing plastering for around 2 so there is some experience in both other fields, looks like ill just have to find myself an australian sheila to marry

Thanks Quoll, this is why I need the advice of you guys as I stated in my last application it got thrown out and cost me £800! My next question would be if it's a case of schedule 2 how do you even go about getting a job offer?

I've emailed vetassess in Perth already as I went through this process before and as I didn't state that I had an nvq level 3 which I think is an AQF equivalent they through my application out and it cost me £800! So I've asked them if the nvq that I have is suitable to satisfy the government! Hopefully I get a positive response! Yep I'm under 45 I'm 33 soon to be 34 s got plenty of life left in me yet

Hey SummerHQ thanks for the speedy response! I have been in the fire service for almost 15 years now, ill try the link to see what happens?? If you can think of anything else or anyone who can help keep commenting Thanks heaps

Hi Guys Just a cry for help really, i would love to move to Australia on a permanent basis but don't know how to do it and what way to approach it! Bit of back ground on me, skills wise, i have got an incomplete Electricians qualification due to the company going bust but is only missing one exam paper, i have done a plastering course but it came with no certificates but have been doing that on and off for 2 years but my full time job is a Firefighter in the Uk. I have pretty much no qualifications apart from the Fire service ones and the part of my electricians qualification. I do hold an IOSH qualification and a HGV licence if that makes any difference? My mum has 3 cousins living in Australia who have been there since birth, they all said they would sponsor me but I'm not sure on how i can make that work?? I have used up my working holiday visa with no luck of staying. I have been visiting Australia on and off for about 10 years now and just need to go and settle over there but I'm in such a predicament on how to achieve this?? All help/guidance would be much appreciated
