Hi Guys, quick query.
My AMSA skills assessment currently underway, Canberra already have all documentation in hand.
I am a British Ship Master, currently working on offshore vessels and not really intending to work in Australia immediately, planning to relocate with my partner & son. I plan to continue with my present employer out with Australia where I am quite happy. My partners sister(British full Australian resident) & my brother in law (Australian) live in Perth WA where we plan to relocate all going well.
Is our profession still open for the 491 visa at this time either through Regional work list or family sponsorship? If not, how often does this status change and is it worthwhile travelling on the 12 month visitor visa until such times as things open. Any help / advice would be appreciated.
