MichelleU Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 My close friends who I class as family are moving to Australia within the next 12 months. I would go with them in a heartbeat but being a serving police officer I do not have the right job. I would be prepared to change careers and was hoping you could help suggest what would be the best and quickest way to migrate to Australia? Which visa should I try to get?I Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If you are under 31 you could apply for a Working Holiday visa and come over for a year or two and see if you actually like it. If you are over 45, you will not qualify for most skilled visas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Your options on changing careers in order to qualify are going to be pretty limited. A number of occupations require a three year training period followed by three years post qualification experience. There are some "shortcuts" such as nursing, teaching and accountancy. Though there is no gauruntee any would be on the occupations list by the time you retrain and you may not be able to score enough points without experience in the occupation. By which time you could be too old - the age cut off is 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
