Petair would ship for me they just don’t have their usual route with Qantas yet and don’t know when it will be back operational. Lots of airlines wont accept snub nosed dogs. This is an airline problem, Zero problems with petair. Yes the payments aren’t an issue I was just looking for some clarification on how it all worked.

I can’t use pet air right now as they don’t have a flight that will accommodate my dog breed at this moment unfortunately. Thanks for all your help though, You’ve all all answered everything I was querying. Thanks again. 

No problems as such no. They just don’t currently offer a route for my dog unfortunately as he’s a chow, but even Pet air included they were unable to include the quarantine fees as they must be paid locally… Any other recommendations would be fab. 

Hi guys 

Looking on some advice for the Australian side for our dog. we’ve been made aware that companies only deal with this side and you must deal with Australian side separately. So Can anyone give any info on where to get the import permits and how to book the quarantine spaces and how much these currently cost at the moment. Prices seem to be constantly increasing! Thanks for any info in advance

Thank you. I will contact Bob again…

We are currently in the process of sponsorship for emigration  and have only just realised there is a 180 day turn around from dog blood tests to entering Oz! Can somebody who has been through the whole process of transporting pets over please help and let me know what’s involved or needed from start to finish?

Thanks for the info! Will be in touch at some point soon! (Hopefully) 

No problem. Thanks guys. I understand. Are they able to travel over together? Or side by side in the same vicinity?

Hey just wondering if anyone can give me a little info on pet shipping. Can a cat and dog travel/be quarantined together once in aus if they’re from the same home or is it only dogs allowed to do this? 

Not sure. Could be different to go over as just a gasfitter then. I’m going on a state sponsored plumbing visa. It required all the paperwork etc then once that was approved by them an invitation to take a practical examination where you do some plumbing work, servicing a gas cooker, piping a boiler up etc nothing major. Your best bet to clarify may be emailing vetassess directly. I’ve done it a couple of times through out the process, they get back to you quite sharply.

Yeah you have to do both. Think it was 8 years worth of payslips/p60s etc in the trade, plus all your certs, then once they’ve approved that, a practical exam at one of their training centres.

Directly through vetassess mate. Trades recognition then comes from them. But I'm using an agent from start to finish for the whole process so they sorted it all.

Yeah, sounds about right. Thanks guys. I know what to expect a little more now! 

I'm possibly mistaken. Maybe that's the only way they do it. Just the structure of the charges from them and this original breakdown attached had me expecting a few hours in an interview.

Ah ok, possibly new then. Shall see soon enough. Thanks for the advice dave.

Hi Nebsy. I completed my assessment in Blackburn last May. Nothing really to worry about. Straightforward copper work and a little bit of steel work. You have to follow a set of plans to the millimetre. Then you have to carry out some plastic work. Again you just have to follow the plans. We all completed in about 6-7 hrs. There is also some theory work as well thrown in. You sit around the table and just answer the questions for everybody to fill in. Bring your tools and bring a battery gun for screwing clips. And also knee pads. 
 

Great stuff! Thanks for that david. Great help. Anything I should brush up on for the technical interview? Apparently a 2 hour interview before any practical, is that right?

Hi! Are there any Plumbers/gas fitters out there that have had experience with the Vetassess plumbing assessment? Got my exam at Blackburn UK center in a few weeks, Just checking if any pointers on things to brush up on?

Hi Brian. You need to pass a skills assessment . I’m a plumber and I’m half way through mine. Waiting for my practical in Blackburn in feb. You go through a company called vetassess. I used a company called the down under center.. they have helped me with all of my paperwork and send everything off to vetassess. They do all the hard work you just give them what they need. Makes life a lot easier.

How did you get on Josh? I’m currently waiting on my vetassess plumbing dates for Blackburn.
