barbieshrimp Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 We were just looking for help regarding qualifications. We are maybe going to apply for a 190 visa but could be short on points. My husband has a work based qualification, from the police - Accredited PIP Level 2, Professionalising Inestigative Programme. We are unsure if this qualifies for any points. Also, to gain more points, my husband is prepared to begin studying for a Diploma or Degree but not sure which. his occupation is police officer and is on the CSOL. Does anybody know how the points of qualifications is awarded, ie types of qualifications accepted and how many points for each qualification. We are also wondering which states have police officer on their state occupation list. Do the lists change each year? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 0 states have police officer on the state migration plan, you will need to look at international recruitment, from each states police force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Grey Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 From recent research I don't think this is going to be a likely prospect (this year at least), I haven't heard of any police recruitment drives in the pipeline. Maybe best to explore other options first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieshrimp Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for comments. Yes we hadnt heard of any international recruitment drives yet so we were hoping to go down the pr route and then apply directly or when we arrive. If we can get enough points via qualifications we wont need to go for a visa requiring state sponsorship. Thats our thoughts but we could be wrong.

Adam Grey Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 For an occupation on the CSOL you would need the support of a state government regardless of the points. I cannot see the occupation appearing on any state sponsor lists in the near future and I suspect any inclusion would coincide with a recruitment drive as they are determined according to local skill shortages. Do you have any other possible options available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 At the moment, there is no visa available. However, there is a big recruitment drive in WA for police from the local population. If this doesn't come up with the numbers then my guess is they may look at international recruits again later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieshrimp Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, my husband was part of the last WA recruitment drive but unsuccessful at papersift. He has 16 years police service, most in CID so we are wondering if WA preferred to have less service and only frontline service, just a guess. Cant think of any other options as I am a qualified childminder which obviously isnt on any skills list. Thanks for your comments and time.

barbieshrimp Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 That all makes sense, its South Australia Police we are most interested in but at this rate we will go where the recruitment option is. Not sure which way to turn now. Time is ticking as we are 41. Thanks for your time and comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
