gaz&family Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi Steve What I am after is someone to work with me on site as 2 men together is a damn site easier when boarding ceilings, I am not after employing anyone I just want someone to work with and split money 50/50, have you got an ABN, thanks.

Stevec88 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi gaz thanks for your reply, Yea ceilings can be a nightmare on your own! That sounds great, what areas do you work in? I will be coming over to australia on my partners sponsored visa in April so have no ABN at the moment but I can sort this out, do you need a white card to work on site? Also so what sort of money can you expect on site in Brisbane? thanks a lot for your reply Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niki potter Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi hope there may be someone who can give some advice, looking at comming over to live in WA shortly, my husband is a self taught plasterer with over 7 years experience, however as hes self taught he has no formal qualifications, is there something he can do in the uk prior to comming out. Heard about RPL does he need to do this or will he be able to wirk without a certificate thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not your husband applying then I wouldn't bother as I have never been asked to show certificates, it's a case of ring up someone, they give you a chance if your works good they'll pay you' if not they wont and you wont get any more work off them. Over here you need a white/blue card, I did mine online with Bluedog training, it wasn't very much and takes about an hour and half. I know in QLD you need a licence for jobs worth more than $3300 if your proper self employed not subbying and for that you do need the AQF, city and guilds/NVQ means nothing here and then apply for your licence. If he is the main applicant then yes he will need certificates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
