anitasharma Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi all guys, I am very confused whether I will get job or not here in Melbourne? I did diploma in architecture from India and it was 3 years course. I also did job for 3 years in india. I am afraid that I will get job on this basis or not? Can u help me what I should do now or may I get job here on this basis. Do I need to start any short term course related to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 What visa do you have? Have you looked at what qualifacations are done in Oz? I believe here it is a degree of 3 to 4 years and then to be a qualified architect needs post grad study. I know in the UK it is a 6 year course.

Tickled Pink Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I am on 457 visa. If you're on a 457 who is currently employing you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wouldn't have thought a diploma would be nearly enough in degree driven Australia. I'd have thought a 4 yr degree at the very least would be necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitasharma Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hello tickled pink, I am dependent. My husband is working here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitasharma Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi quoll, so I need a degree now? But don't u think it would be long and expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I believe a full architectural degree is now 5 years in Australia - 3 years Bachelor of Environmental Design (Architecture), then 2 years Master of Architecture. Whether any of your previous diploma studies would be recognised would be determined by the particular university. Architectural firms and building designers sometimes employ people without full degrees. It depends whether they can utilise the particular skill set of that employee.

Quoll Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 You might get a job doing something completely different of course - retail, general office work, carer etc. However, dependents of 457 visa holders don't have an easy time in the job market unless they have some outstanding skill set or are prepared to do short term work. I thought you were asking if you could be an architect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sameer123 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi, anita. My wife is also having somewhat similar problem as yours. She is a Homeopathic practitioner in India but in OZ Indian qualification is not recognized unless u do Skills assessment or register in colleges which recognize Oversea qualifications. Our agent has told her the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sameer123 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hi, Anita. My wife vl accompany me in OZ and she vl also face the same issue of Indian Qualification recognition in OZ, I think she is starting to feel nervous. But I suggested her to look out for other jobs or hobbies (Not related to her field) So did u get adjusted to OZ yet?? what is your experience so far?
