RichBarl Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 At the mo theres lots of work around busy as its been for a couple of years in Perth. Swings in roundabouts but its good for now. Perth prob best place for brickies from what i've heard.Not to sure about the east. The bricklaying is a little different than the uk and takes a bit of time to learn the aussie way and deal with the heat. You wouldn't have any trouble finding work.

schitzel Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Rich,We can only get a regional visa for western australia ,so I think that means I cant work in Perth for 1 or 2 years ,do you think I would have trouble finding work outside of Perth and could you tell me approximately what sort of wages they are earning ? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samwager04 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hi rich , do you know if a carpenter can expect that same sort of wage as the brickies in Perth ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBarl Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hi rich , do you know if a carpenter can expect that same sort of wage as the brickies in Perth ? Not too sure about the chippies and what they get, most trades get a wage around $30 - $50 per hour in Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Im a 26 year general builder in the UK, i run my own business at the minute but want to emmigrate to Oz. I have an aunt who is a citizen and lives in Melbourne. I visited her on a working holiday visa afew years ago and loved it, in some ways regret coming back. I worked as a bricky while i was there and got on well. Im qualified to NVQ level 3 in bricklaying and have 8 years work experience. Do i need to get my bricklaying VETASSESSed? I really not sure how to move forward with this at minute, also saw bricklaying fell off the main SOL list any help as to how to move forward would be appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boardmans Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 woods - we are in the process of applying for a Skilled sponsored 190 visa, my husband is a bricklayer with same qualifications as u and 9 yrs exp after apprenticeship. yes you have to have your skills assessed. the 190 visa we are applying for is for Perth as they still have bricklayer on their consolidated skills list I'm not sure if Melbourne has it on theirs but it will be worth checking, we were devastated when it got taken off but where there is a will there is a way!

woodo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for your reply i was pretty gutted to but as you say where there is a will there is a way. Sadly melbourne is not an option for me because no state sponsors are available there but i have decided to go for a WA sponsor to. Is your husband sitting an english exam? I have to because sadly some of my years work dont count so have less points from that catagory. Have you looked into Perth alot? I went to a migration seminar hosted by the emmigration group last weekend and a government rep from WA was there. They showed a video and it looked great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
