chriscici Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can help I'm thinking of going for state sponsorship with WA as a carpenter, now if I pass my tech interview I will be on 50 points, my wife is a hairdresser which also seems to be on schedule 1 for WA so if we were to get her skills assessed could I claim 5 points for that and finally the last five points of WA to achieve 60 points. cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total points should be 60 or more. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del70 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Does it make any difference to the OP that Carpenter is on Schedule 1, and Hairdresser is on Schedule 2? Is it fine because they are both on the CSOL? Just checking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure the state where you will be seeking sponsorship from should be open to sponsor both the skills. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del70 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi Del70 both trades are on schedule 1 for WA state sponsorship... I was talking about the DIAC lists (SOL and CSOL), where Carpenter's on Schedule 1 of the CSOL, and Hairdresser's on Schedule 2 of the CSOL. Under the requirements of Partner Skills, it says a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your partner’s nominated occupation (your partner’s nominated occupation must be on the same Skilled Occupation List as your nominated occupation). I'm sure it's fine, as they are both on the CSOL, but I question everything!! We are doing Partner Skills points too, but both our jobs are the same, so it was a bit simpler! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi Del70 both trades are on schedule 1 for WA state sponsorship... There is no such thing or if WA do use that terminology it is not relevant. For partner points your occupations need to be in the same schedule of the DIAC skilled occupation lists. They are not, so partner points is not an option for you. However I have just seen your other thread and note you don't have IELTS in your points score, you need to do this, most people do these days to have enough points.

I question everything, but it's better than getting things wrong and wasting money! This forum has been a great help to me. Good luck with the IELTS. Just get some practice in before hand - there's lots of practice material available online and in books. Good luck with everything! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondanell Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi guys, Quick question (sorry to bomb your thread Chris). Does having more points give you priority when submitting an EOI, for example someone with 60 points stands less chance than someone with 75? Or is it based on first come first served as long as you have 60 or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
