brum1973 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi all, Recently joined, have been browsing a fair bit. Just sent in an assessment to a MA. Looks like from my reading I'll have to look at 457 route...I have 2x Trades, Print Industry - A Studio Pre-Press/Repro/Digital Print Role which I've done for around 18 years & the last 4 have retrained into Electrical Installation as an Electrician's Mate. Looks like my Print experience will be better served and so I'll see what advice comes back from the MA. I was out in Robina, Gold Coast in February of this year Visiting a Mate & watching the Quick Silver Pro Surf contest at Snapper Rocks. I'm looking to move to areas from Brisbane down through to NSW, Byron Bay...(advice pending) Lots of good info here with plenty of reading to do. Just getting a bit fed up now with it all, the lack of job security (especially in Electrical field). Somebody told me recently that we don't really know what we want until our 40's, so with the 40 looming next Spring, I'm either having a Mid Life Crisis or finally decisive on my life's path... We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest30085 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi Brum Welcome to PIO I can't help with either trades sorry, my family that have moved over have all been engineers. Im sure someone will be along shortly with more knowledge, the Aussie contingent will be in bed and the UK contingent will probably be eating Turkey sandwiches But you should get a response eventually Best of luck with the visa process Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see... Hi and welcome to PIO. Are you sure that the 457 is your best option? Because generally it is not a great option to start with, it can be very hard to find a job and a willing sponsor unless you are in select occupations (like nursing, engineering perhaps) and of course it is not a permanent visa and there is no automatic pathway to a permanent visa. I would recommend you look into skilled migration, better to try and sort this out before you are 40 as it gets harder with age as it is points related and points decrease with age (still perfectly possible after 40 just getting harder). Good luck with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brum1973 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm not 100% sure. Not until I receive back my assessment from the MA. But my Graphics/Pre-Press is not on the SOL, so that does seem to rule out the 189 route. Therefore 457 ENS or RSMS looks an option. I know it's Temporary, yet I'm aware of the route to PR from this through the streams. I'm waiting for advice before making any plans/aspirations at all. Thanks for your response though...
