Hi Iola,

I am from the UK myself and moved over to Sydney in late 2018, now working as a recruitment consultant to assist OTs with work across Australia. So hopefully I can be a good sounding board for any questions you may have

Obviously with the strict border controls it makes plans to emigrate tricky at the moment. The first two options that spring to mind which are available to you, would be either a Skilled Visa (189. 190 or 491) or by gaining sponsorship by an employer (186, 482 or 494). Obviously the skilled visa gives you more flexibility to choose your own employer, but on the flip side you are having to pay the visa in full yourself in that instance. 

If you wish to explore further or have any other questions then feel free to post (email removed by admin as per forum rules)

Good luck and I look forward to hearing how you go :) 

Thanks

Ross

Hey Ross, 

Just wondered if this is something you're still able to help with?! I'm a UK trained based OT, have been working here for the past 3 years but hoping to head over to Australia for a couple of years. Let me know if you have any guidance 

Thanks!
