Personally I would wish to be able to live in Australia and in having a visa they could continue their education

In England they would be in education still but we are in NZ for six months or a further four months they are on a holiday visa so not working and dependant on me and have always lived ans still do with me!

Up to 23 sorry

Ah see I was told they could come in under me as my sons yo to 23 if go for a 189 or 190! this is where I get confused and then try and research things myself and come to a dead end

thankyou. Yes Have and was told looks good so just pay the deposit of $1000 and the other $3000 as we go! need to do some homework first hence asking! Totally understand have to pay for things at the going rate but seems i cant discuss anything unless i pay a deposit!

Hi I am 43 year old English (Cornish Rather) Self Employed Builder, Carpenter but i am qualified NVQ level 2 Plumber and bpec oil boiler installer commissioner and service technician! Also i Am Padi Divemaster! I Am currently in NZ only on a Holiday Visa but desire to come to Australia to live and work with flights booked for March! With me are my two sons aged 19 and 18 who are also both Divemasters! I am struggling so much to find the info i need to get underway! Apparently i can do a skills assessment here in NZ for both countries but so far have no information on how or what it takes and cost or even a company that does it although have emailed a couple! is it worth arriving in Australia and seeking sponsorship or if i get a skills assessment is this going to be easier than trying to get my Uk qualifications transferred, personally id rather be a diver working with boats or secondly a carpenter working with a small firm making friends and being more personal than for a big construction firm in a city! Or even study and retrain if the possibility arose! Just need some help in direction from some people like you who have gone through similar Many thanks for any info
