Animals+Aus=Dreams

Thanks for the positivity.

No problem at all. You’re right though. I particularly feel that younger people, at least those that I have met, think it’s quite an easy thing, but the reality of moving home and family makes it a lot tougher than moving out there on a 2-year temporary with nothing but your dreams and some dollars. We wish it were so right! This is our new life and we cannot sacrifice our entire livelihood. We had put the idea to bed a little while ago until an agent told me my occupation was up for grabs. So I thought I’d give it a bash. Let’s see hey. Thanks for the help.

Hi. We have been working on this for a good few years so know the ins and outs. We haven’t been told there aren’t jobs in accounting, we have just been told the government is so inundated for accounting visas that the chances of being put through are minimal, and mainly people apply for the independent visa to go to the cities. He is skilled in other areas of finance so I don’t think he will be out of work. We have quite good funding for supporting us for a while whilst we are out there as well. If we didn’t we just couldn’t consider it, because my work is the trickier component. This is not a new whim for us, and thank you for your insights. I just am being super realistic about the situation and doubt I’ll get invited with such an obscure occupation that runs a heavy risk of being taken off the lists. I have emigrated before from a hot country and I miss the lifestyle of being outdoors in the sunshine and the pool, but am equally as happy being in the UK, where my opportunities have been incredible. If anything, stay here for more Disney World holidays and European Christmas markets

Thank you for the advice. Yes, we have spoken with an agent but it’s mostly been regarding my chances of obtaining a 491, as we were told straight away that getting accountants in is really tricky (inundated). When I have checked the invites for the states, they still get some through however. I think my nominated occupation as animal attendant and trainer (I actually work in veterinary and animal care, but not a nurse) is going to be such a long shot getting in, I wanted to double check the accounting.

Thank you for the insight. I suspected as much and actually this is what CPA themselves have confirmed, as I have since contacted them as well.

Yeah, I believe so, thus we are trying my route for a visa in Animal work. We are very much aware that this may not be achieveable for us sadly, particularly with the current global issues. Thank you.

Hi, I have an occupation that doesn’t seem promising for migration, but it is still on the list! Animal Attendant and Trainer... I hope that I get the chance to apply for regional 491 visa when things start moving again, with an EOI, skills assessment and English test done and waiting in the wings. If anyone has a similar occupations (in the 3’s), and has tried this route or similar route in the past, I’m curious how you found it went. I also wondered if animal or wildlife jobs are ever open to sponsorship for overseas applicants. This may be a bit of a far cry, but I can’t find the information anywhere else and hoped Pomz community could help. Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you for the response!

Thanks for the info, appreciate the time you took to reply. Regards

Hi, Im new to the forum. I wanted to find out from other peoples’ experiences about skills assessment for accountants. My partner has a degree in economics finance and banking; more than 5-years work experience as an accountant (at least); has finished half of his Chartered Institute of Management Accounting exams; and has been employed as a Management Accountant for almost 2-years. Despite not being fully accredited by CIMA (which directly translates to CPA as far as I am aware), would his experience give him a likely positive skills assessment outcome? Any accountants who have emigrated from UK to Aus with this issue, that have any information, would be welcomed! Thanks
