Thank you so much. I'll take a look and speak to them. I've seen quite a few. I'm sure they be able to advise me better

Its English law I've studied

I've not been to australia no. I figured wasting money on visiting that could go towards the move wouldn't be worth it. I can't imagine it will be worse than the UK and worst case I can just return. I understand that it's not as high paid in australia for lawyers and that doesn't bother me. Having a better quality of life is my main interest. The work life balance is way better there. I'd much rather sacrifice some or my salary to have balance than work work work here snd not enjoy it. I understand medicare isn't free and it's taken from wages just like national insurance here, although the percentage is less in Australia. You can get appointments and tests way quicker than the weeks, months and sometimes years it takes here. Having nice weather and lots to do outside for my children to roam is better in my eyes than them being huddled up indoors the majority of the year with both their parents working like crazy. I've don't a lot of research into family life and it's way better than we can have here. It was a move between America and Australia for us and Australia won the toss up with the information we have. It's just a case of finding how much experience I need to be able to apply for the move. If I could I'd pack my cases and leave today but it's obviously not that simple. We're aiming to arrive with £30k so that should cover the time it takes to do some exploring and find jobs for us both

Hiya, Thanks for your advice. Like Paul said being a solicitor is on the skilled list and it doesn't specify which field. Just solicitors or baristers. I wondered if it was worth me sitting the SQE or if I could do the equivalent over in australia. I have seen the FDA agreement says a UK law degree is transferable so it was more the sqe and qwe that I'm questioning. Being a paralegal here counts and I wondered if I could become a paralegal out there and then sit the equivalent exams in australia. I unfortunately can't come out in a WHV because I have 3 young children (4, 2 and 3 months) I'm not willing to leave behind. I'll have to do more research into it bit I just wondered if anyone knew. It probably is better to stay here longer and get the 2 things done but I just want a better life for my family and the sooner we leave this country the better Thanks Danielle

Hi. I have a UK LLB and wanted to know if this would class me as a skilled worker and if i'd be able to practice in oz. I haven't yet got the 2 years QWE or sat the SQE. Would this go against me? Should I do this first before applying for a visa? Me and my family really want to move out to Australia and I'm trying to find the best way to do it. Thanks Danielle
