Victoriwa Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hello everyone! its been a while since I last posted anything in here, mainly due to being busy maintaining our UK life whilst also furiously planning our Aus life... To date we've managed to acquire my partners AQF III certificate and are presently getting together all the documents we need to submit to TRA (the paper trail never ends)... However, we were all set to relocate to Perth as that is where we believed the plastering 'boom' was. But the lovely guy who assessed our AQF was of the opinion that the demand was now more in the NSW region - so... Where do we go?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 NSW!! Why do you want to go to the Wild West anyway? NSW is better, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoriwa Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Oh really?! Which areas in NSW would you say? Sydney isn't proving popular with the other half, and the only other areas I'm familiar with is Armidale (I went to school there when I was wee), and I'm not sure I really want to return!

Quoll Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Go where you can get a job basically. Check out Seek to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxboz Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Go where the work is. Perth is not good for work at the moment - in fact it is dire -advertised a job at my work for an admin person on website - over 200 replies within 12 hours - not good. Perth is heading for a recession I would not come here now. To be honest I would not move to anywhere in Australia now - the timing is really bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoriwa Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thank you everyone for your replies. I've already been browsing Seek and Gumtree occasionally for an idea of supply/demand, I was just wondering whether anyone out there was in a position to confirm the work situation in NSW so far as plastering was concerned...

I've been watching the economic downturn in China with concerns that it would impact badly on Aus, but I didn't think it would occur so soon... We're not in a rush to migrate (3 years minimum), but these things take some time to iron themselves out... As anyone still in the UK can attest!

Here in WA it is bad enough that we are leaving as unable to get work. I spent 5 days at Centrelink (dole office) recently and every day, there were ques out the door and heading down the street.
