Best wishes Susie x Hi Susie, I am a qualified Fitter & Turner, with a 17th Edition Electrical Certificate. I am 45 years of age which is why I am looking for 457 sponsorship. I am particularly looking at WA but would be open to any other state if the company was prepared to sponsor the visa. Thank you for your reply, I look forward to hearing from you if you have links to assist me. Regards James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Har00n Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 i rememeber when i initially started looking into this, there was a whole load of australian expo's in the UK. try http://www.expo-australia.com/ there shouldbe dates in and around the UK. There will be companies from oz there, and you can speak directly to them. Best to have your CV etc with you, so you can hand out. Plus you might want to fill in a lot of applications. I'm in a totally different trade (IT) so not sure if this will be 100% perfect for you. Hopefully it may provide a starting point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirclippliers Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hey James, I've just arrived in Perth on a sponsored visa, and we used a recruitment agency who is recruiting for the mining companies. Perth is predominantly centered around the mining industry and they reckon (newspapers) that mining will account for practically 50% of all work in Aus. That was according to last weeks paper. There is good money in the mines and they need all sorts of trades. I'll send you more info if you think this might interest you. Its expensive here, mind, cos the mines are well paid the prices go up. Typical. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jolly1 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi I am a qualified social worker (mental health) in the UK. I am just waiting for my qualifications to be assessed. I want to apply for a 457 visa. My question is how difficult will it be to get a sponsor? Ideally we would like live and work in Perth. I see from another post the advice was to go to an expo and make lots of applications to employers. How have other people gained sponsorship or is this the way forward? Any advice would be good :-) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirclippliers Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I don't think I qualified to say who would sponsor, but you could try contacting all the facilities that you would likely work in and ask. Send your cv to them and hopefor the best. Mining is very big here, can be difficult to get in and quite uncomfortable conditions, heat bugs snakes spiders and floods. Worth it for the money though.
