All the hard work? In relation to what? Sending your qualifications and evidence of payslips to Australia to get checked off etc? Do u get an Australian certificate of competency with the outcome?
-
Yes but u don't need to do a practical or written exam to get visa. I didn't
-
In ordered to get the visa granted you do not need to pass a skills assessment. Only have it verified eg with supporting evidence, such as payslips qualifiactions etc by a governing body (TRA) etc
-
The points is only for the visa to be granted mate. Once u get here, u can apply for something called RPL recognised prior learning(basically our qualifications are recognised visa wise but not for work). You can apply before you get out here, I've been advised to start working for a company under their licence as a gas fitter and plumber and then apply while I'm working gaining experience....you have to then go to TAFE (college) and do gap training and maybe an exam to get your own licence so u can work for yourself.

There is no test to take If u can gain over 60 points. I was lucky as had over 10 years experience and under 33 years old...u may have to sit an English test (ielts) if u require the extra points...evidence u need is basically pay slips, contracts, references from managers etc

Hi Brian, I worked for British Gas for 12 years as a service and repair engineer on appliances, applied for a skilled 190 visa under the code for gas fitter. We are in Sydney in NSW, however there is only seasonal work (3-4 months) with gas fires, duct heaters etc. Hardly anyone has central heating as it's too hot....I've managed to get a job with a local plumbing and heating firm, but your correct I'll mainly be doing plumbing with I've not much experience in (bathrooms etc).....being honest I don't know what everyone is having problems. We applied for EOI I'm February 2017, sent off evidence got TRA (work evidence-qualifications etc) in March, had invite for visa in may and filled and sent everything over and it was granted on August 11st. We've been here since 5th November and would deffo recommend it...

Thanks for the advice. We are staying with my sister in law in inner west. We have friends from back home in Melbourne and some on Perth. However using Sydney as a base. The friends / people (some UK some Aussie) we've met so far are my sister in laws friends and we done wanna feel like being "baby sat" if that makes sense.

Hi guys, hope everyone's well...I've been in Sydney for 7weeks on a 190 PR visa staying with my sister in law in the inner west. I've been offered a gas and plumbing job in March 2018 it's for a small company, well established. They are offering me a contract of roughly $30 p/h plus 9% super.... We are still enjoying the freedom and had planned not to find work untill may and June time...would anyone know if that hourly rate is about right for a gas fitter and plumber in NSW and what the annual average wage is.... Thanks alot John
