Hi Everyone, I wonder if anyone could help....I'm 37 and my partner is 30, after having working holiday visa's back 7 years ago, we are keen to return and live and work in Melbourne for a few years. I realise the visa system has changed recently, but we would love to go back out for a few years........I work in Education as a senior programme manager working with businesses on their CSR programmes relating to young people and placing students on work experience. my partner has recently (past 6 months) started working in telecoms in the railway industry, prior to that he worked in the North ea on an oil rig. Is there any chance of gaining a visa for 2 years or so? how do we go about it and what are the chances/or best bet? I would really appreciate and advice, thanks so much!!

Thanks for your reply @VERYSTORMY thats really helpful. Thanks

Hi All...... I just wanted some advice really......several years ago I spent nearly a year in Australia on a working holiday visa...(Just prior to becoming 30) I worked during my time in Australia (at one point at City of Melbourne in the CBD). I really want to go back out to Melbourne and spend a year or two there again but i'm really not sure if that's possible or what the best way/most likely way of me doing this is..... A bit about me - I'm 36, engaged with no children (just a partner). I work as a Senior Manager in a London based Education charity that works with employers and young people .......often working with large city companies with their community investmant programmes/CSR/CR/CI. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated....
