Hi Holly, Unfortunately Police is no longer on the occupations list. We are currently going through the visa process and my wife is a police officer. Fortunately I am an electrician so we are using me as the main applicant. It might be best you speaking with a visa agent to go through your best options. I am using Concept Australia. They seem pretty good so far. GOOD LUCK !

At the end of the day its better to have tried it and find out you don't like it than not try it at all ! I've lived in the UK, I know Australia has its own problems and the grass isn't always greener etc. The UK in my opinion is getting worse even in my life time it feels to be getting worse. Wether I'm more exposed to the s**t now I'm older I don't know. Australia is definitely worth a shot !

I am on the 3rd attempt now. Any native English speaker should not struggle with the speaking part of the test. I really messed up a couple of describe images. However, I still got 90's in my speaking. My last attempt I was 2 marks of reading and 3 marks of writing to get the 20 points !

Hi Lavers, How was the interview ? Did they go into technical detail or was it pretty straight forward ? Did you do it through the VETASSESS website ? For "General Electrician" we have to do a practical, theory and from March 19 I think it was we now have to do a technical interview too !

Hey, I am now at the stage of doing my VETASSES assessment. However when I look on the dates there is 3 per year in blackburn for a general electrician test. Has anybody done this elsewhere or do they have to go through VETASSESS? Also has anybody had any experience in the skilled interview thats just come into force??
