Tigerlilly9220 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi Everyone, My fiancée and I are seriously thinking about leaving the UK to live permanently in Australia. I currently work as a civil servant and have done for over 3 years and my partner is in the building trade as a plasterer. We haven't got a clue where to start and we were looking for some advice on what we need to do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you Tigerlilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell123321 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hi First thing is to check if your occupation or partners occupation is on either the SOL or SCOL lists and that you or your partner have enough experience. If so have a look if you would gain enough points in order to apply for a permanent visa. There is a points calculator on immigration website. Others will be able to offer more advice.

Guest Guest115110 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Occupation 333212 - Solid Plasterer is available on the skilled occupation list - requires certificate III with 2 years on hands training or certificate IV equivalent. What's your job function? If you choose your partner as the primary applicant her skills will have to be assessed by the TRA. Please feel free to contact us should you wish to have a confidential chat about your circumstances and wish to hire our services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
