Vickiw89 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah that's it, it's a Skype interview that lastsfor up to 2 hours, mine was about an hour and a half. They ask you lots of different questions like the ones laura and I have posted here. They'll ask you to explain how you would do certain things etc. have a google of Aussie hairdressing units so you can get an understanding of their expectations of a level 3 hairdresser. I won't lie, I found it quite full on but as long as you revise well you should be fine. My partner and I are looking at the NT too but we are struggling to find $50000 to prove for the application. I hope you don't mind me asking but do you have family in the NT? It's just our agent told us we could only apply for the 489 unless you have family there which we don't. you should get your date within the next few days id say! Are you doing it in Manchester?

sony Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 My wishes and prayersthat you soon get some arrangement of $ 50000 to prove your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickiw89 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thankyou! I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what I answered, to be honest I don't really remember as I did mine a while ago, but it would be unfair for me to tell you the answers. If you have experience as a hairdresser you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickiw89 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi shells, my partner and I were looking to go to the NT after Queensland was taken off the list but we need proof of $50,000 which we don't have, and we can only apply for a 489 as we don't have family in the NT, so we are now looking into alternatives! Congrats on vetassess that's great news! Have you put your eoi in yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickiw89 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Haha ah that's ok! Yeah I'm from the UK, had a working holiday in oz and nz and loved both, must say I would prefer Australia over Nz but not sure if that's possible yet. Yeah we are with go Matilda but have put a stop on moving forward at the moment and have just contacted a nz agent, think we will look at going there instead now! Where would you look at moving to in the NT? My partner has been to Darwin and he said it was really nice, just the humidity, but it's not forever! Have you been to oz before?

laurahair Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi sorry I'm rubbish at this lol how come your in NZ NOW ? Very exciting ! No never been to NT before bit nervous and excited lol . My biggest worry is the kids as not sure what the schools are lke there x I was just sick of how long the visa process was and nothing happening so we booked our flights and were in NZ within 10weeks[emoji3] When we first started the process we were hoping to go to south Australia then hairdressing was taken off the list. So we can only go to NT aswell. My bf is a cabinet maker and is on the list for most states but he is short a few months experience to qualify and would also mean starting the process all over. Are Ye planning on going as soon as Ye get the visa or finishing the school year in the uk. I'm sure it is a lot harder with kids to get organised. What ages are they.

mwotherspoon Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hi, ive just moved over to oz on a working holiday visa from Scotland. Im a fully qualified hairdresser, and was wondering if anyone can advise if its possible to get a trade visa to enable me to stay in oz permanently? and can this be done whilst in Australia? Any assistance would be appreciated MW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Hi, ive just moved over to oz on a working holiday visa from Scotland. Im a fully qualified hairdresser, and was wondering if anyone can advise if its possible to get a trade visa to enable me to stay in oz permanently? and can this be done whilst in Australia? @mwotherspoon - try reading the previous posts in this thread so you start to get an idea of what's involved. To get a straightforward (189) skilled visa, your occupation must be on the SOL (Skilled Occupation List) - which hairdressing isn't, so that is definitely not an option for you. It is on the CSOL, but only for the Northern Territory and Tasmania - and that means you have to be sponsored. Obviously you don't want to live in either of those states long-term, but if it's your only way of gaining the right to live in Australia permanently, it might be worth considering a year or two in another state, where at least you can fly home for regular holidays.
