Hi all, i am just starting to apply for my EOI, but am curious to what documents I will need to include? Will I need to upload things like my city & guilds certificate and evidence of my work history e.g. I just want to make sure I have all the docs ready to hand thanks

Thanks everyone thats good news as I fancy a career change but maybe not mc Donald's haha i am also a qualified personal trainer so this is what I'd like to pursue ??

Thank you I think your right a minimum of 1 year to see if it works for us thank you

Hi on paper I am a qualified electrical engineer, I have my city and guilds 232, but my job is basically glorified admin even though I am qualified. My question is, if my visa is accepted with my qualification as an engineer, do I have to stay in that profession when in oz or can I do any job I please? i was under the impression once my visa was granted I could do any job, but today I was told different and I am now wondering if I would have to stick to engineering when living down under ?

Thanks for everyone's reply, going to sit down and think it all through I am swaying towards renting the house for a year until we settle then sell up, as if we did not settle we would literally be coming back to the uk with nothing just need to convince the hubby the dog is coming not matter what ?

Thanks for your reply

Thanks for your reply i think your right, looks like we're going to rent it out until we find our feet!! any advice on bringing the dog ? He is a French bulldog 9 months old

Hi everyone this is my first post, me and the hubby are visiting oz in September to view a few neighbourhoods etc. we have always dreamed of living down under and now feel we are ready to make the jump, we are in the process of applying for visas now but the question is, do you sell our house take the equity out and buy in oz or rent out home out and rent in oz until we are settled? hubby also thinks it's a good idea to leave the dog at home whilst we get settled but I can't even think about doing that!! I feel I won't settle without him there?? hubby wants to rent our place out for 6 months and then if we get settled in oz come back after 6 months sell up and then take the dog back to oz with us i just feel if we do this we are airways going to have in the back of our heads that we are going back to the uk after 6 months and won't put so much effort into settling fir good ?? hubby thinks it's playing safe by keeping our house but it also doesn't leave us much money to take with us what are people's thoughts and experiences ....?
