So I've been living in oz for 18 months on a working holiday visa but I want live here permanently. I can't be sponsored in my current job (working offshore) because its not seen as skilled. I'm single, have a BA (hons) in performing arts and used to work as an actor in the UK. I'm 24, have a British passport but can't seem to find a visa to suit. nothing that I do/have done, is on the skilled occupation list... Can anyone help me?

Hello, I have recently joined this forum to try and start our journey in moving to Australia. I am a nurse in the uk and my partner works for the royal air force, we are desperate to start a new life in Australia. We will be going to Australia on my visa as a nurse but having started to look at the paperwork required to convert across to the Australian nursing services it all seems quite confusing...and I haven't even started with the visa process yet!! From reading the posts on here I realise that I am not alone. Is it worth using a migration company to help, specifically a nursing migration company or are they a rip off for what they do? Speed is not at the forefront of our move because we both have to wait two years before work will let us go but for assistance in completing the paperwork, would it be worth it? If so, which company? If not, where is the best place to start in collecting more information? I apologise for all the questions....I just don't have a clue where to start! Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you....and hello! Katie :biggrin:
