Guest Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Are you an engineer or an electrician? When you say 'i have all the relevent electrical qualifications' do you mean the Australian ones? Depending on the state you move to you may need to work as an apprentice/assistant to get the Australian qualifications. If you are an engineer though (e.g degree qualified and had your skills assessed by Engineers Australia) then this doesn't apply. Depending on this your initial salary could be significantly lower in the first year. There are plenty of resources online providing average salaries This is one of the better ones - https://www.roberthalf.com.au/resources/salary-guides As a new migrant, even if you have all the licences required to work I would be assuming the very bottom end is realistic but once you have proven yourself you will prgress quickly.

Guest Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have not had my skills assesement yet. Im asking questions before i do. I 'THINK' you would be looking at a VETASSES assessment & 'PROBABLY' would need to undergo training/licencing in WA before you could work unsupervised. https://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/energysafety/licensing-electrical-workers-and-electrical-contractors This is a separate process to skills assessment and does catch people out who think if they have passed a skills assessment they can migrate and start working straight away. Hopefully once Australia wakes up someone else will come along that actually knows about your field and can give you proper help. It sounds though that a migration agent would be a good idea though.
