Hi all
I`m starting to look into trying to make the move across to oz. I`m a 42 yr old man, divorced and single for a couple of years and I have no kids. I don`t really have much in the way of "baggage", i would just be looking to get myself across, rent initially and go from there. I have a house and a mortgage here in the uk, my thoughts were to keep the house here and let my mum live here and basically pay the upkeep of the house while i`m away (she rents currently and this would help as it would reduce her outgoings too) although having read a few posts it seems this may create some tax issues?
I work for Autoglass in the uk, who are o`briens over in australia which would be my way of gaining employment there although i appreciate this isn`t on the skilled trades list. They have said a position would be available if i could get the visa but i`m not sure if they can help with getting the visa itself.
I don`t have huge needs compared to most, just to get myself over and a few bits, i don`t have a great deal of material things i would need to ship over, i`m just hoping to make a new start, there is very little here for me anymore. I would be looking to use an agent to help with the visa as i wouldn`t be confident in doing it myself.
I know i`m pushing it age wise and my trade may not be the most desirable but Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks
James

Hi all
I`m 46 yrs old and trying to find a way to get into Australia, i`ve just returned form three months working in Sydney and would like to go back if possible. My job is not on the skills shortage list so that isn`t an option unfortunately. I`m divorced with no children.
If anyone on here has any ideas if this can be possible i would be very grateful for any advice
