I’m ideally looking to move permanently, which at them moment doesn’t seem to be an option. We have been over twice to visit friends in Perth and absolutely love it, the kids don’t want to leave. It’s just frustrating that I didn’t pursue this earlier I’m my life [emoji30][emoji30]

I have looked into trying to apply for a visa but my skill is only on the short term list and not currently being state sponsored (health and safety advisor). I have a young family and can’t really go for a short term visa as uprooting and then having to do the same again within 2 years wouldn’t be ideal. Any help in where is best to look and apply for sponsorship jobs would be a great help. Any other info in regards to this would also be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for any guidance or experience anyone may have. I am currently a Safety Manager on a site with over 300 employees. I have a NEBOSH certificate, over 10 years in the Safety field and am currently undertaking a degree (BSc) in Health and Safety Management. Occ Health and Safety Advisor or Safety Inspector is the closes jobs to mine on the skills lists but are not (since the change) eligible for a 189 visa but still a 190. I still require to undertake an English language test and am looking at getting a Vetassess skills assessment undertaken. Has anyone in this field (from the UK) went down this route and is knowledgeable in this area? I don’t want to waste money on an assessment for it not to be successful! I’m looking to reside in Wetern Australia. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What sort of information did you have to supply? If you don't mind me asking too, how much is the assessment and have the down under centre advised you on how to complete with a view to ensuring that the assessment is successful? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Help I need advice and hopefully someone has been in a similar or same boat. I am a time served (UK recognised mechanical engineering apprenticeship with the UK MoD) engineer with nearly 17 years working for the U.K. MoD on systems undertaking strip / build / test maintenance tasks in accordance with maintenance manuals and processing check sheets. I also have lower level qualifications in this field but not to degree level (i.e. HNC and NC and SVQ Level 2 and 3 in Mechanical Engineering). Through this time I have also been responsible for ensure safe systems of work are adhered to and then followed for the last 11 years through line management ( supervisor) and now senior management as a site (300 personnel) safety manager. My dilema is would I receive a positive skills assessment from Engineers Australia in either Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Management given that I don't have a degree? Or should I be concentrating on the safety side of things? i know it is hard to say either an assessment would be successful or not as every one is different however there must be someone who has been in a similar circumstance?? i don't want to go to the expense of 1 or 2 skills assessments for both to be unsuccessful!! Thanks in advance!!
