Hi,
I’m new to this forum but am seeking some guidance. We arrived in Australia 6 months ago on a state sponsored visa and have settled well, with my wife finding a job as a clinical nurse quite quickly, our two daughters happy at school and making some good friendships. However, I’ve been struggling to find a job which has been a real challenge. I can find a job, but not in my profession which is frustrating, however earlier this week I was contacted by a company in Brisbane about a role which ticks all the boxes and one where I’d excel. I’ve explained to the company I’m on a SS visa so can’t pursue the role, but they’ve asked me to see if the state would release me to allow me to work with them. I know my wife could find a similar role easily, although pulling the children out of school wouldn’t be ideal, but this is a great opportunity. I just wondered whether anyone has been in a similar situation to this and approached the state for approval to relocate and if so if you’ve been successful.
Thanks, Mick.
