Paulashacks Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi all. We Would like to hear from anyone who has moved to the Sunshine Coast from the uk without a job to go to. Basically my hubby is a gas fitter over here and although he is willing to do anything we are worried that we end up moving over there and finding there is no work. He doesnt want to work for himself as apparently that is even harder to achieve. Can anyone give us some advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Have a look on Seek.com you will give you an idea of the job vacancies. Does it have to be the Sunshine Coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger2shirts Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 First make sure his qualifications are recognised. The assessment you dop in the UK may not be relevant in Queensland. Find the relevant state authority to ensure - there is Federal and State here and often the 2 are different. Lots of development in the gas industry with the development of coal seam gas and fracking out in west Queensland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply. We want to be near friends who live in the maroochydore area so yes Sunshine Coast is the place for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulashacks Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi. We are in talks with a migration consultant who says we should be able to get a visa. He is working for British gas at mo but work life balance isn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charl2 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Hi Paula. We are about to do the same - move without jobs. I'm a nurse we have 2 children and it's worrying isn't it. But we really want to go there! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
