Marisawright Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 You could get a working holiday visa to work in Australia for a year or two. Otherwise, you have no chance without a skilled occupation. Even with an employer to sponsor you, you must have a skilled occupation that’s on the approved list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a job now? There is a common mis conception that you need a trade such as a builder or plumber to go to Australia and this isn't true. I work in IT and I have a visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that trades need a full apprenticeship - 3 years training and then about 2 to 3 years minimum post training experience to pass the skills assessment. The big risk is that any trade you do, won't be eligible. The skilled lists change regular,y with over 200 occupations removed in the last 18 months. Immigration in Oz is as big a hot political issue as it is in the UK, with political parties trying to outdo each other on being tough on it.

They will look at your qualifications and occupation and advise what your options are, and then you'll know for sure. Try pinoyau.com or ozimmigration.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
