Hi All, I have a Graduate Accountant job going in lovely Hillarys WA. I may consider someone with Cert IV qualifications. This is a developmental role with support from the Business Support Manager. It is essential that you have an appreciation of recreational fishing. Please message me if you are interested. Thanks

Am in Padbury, its an older suburb but I like older places anyway so suits us. Also much bigger blocks, what is happening though is quite a few people are splitting blocks and building 2 houses on one block. Is a good location, along with Duncraig, Hillarys, Kingsley, Greenwood. We have access to the freeway at both ends of the suburb, Heburn Ave and Whitfords Ave, 2 train stations again Heburn and Whitfords, 5 minutes drive or walking distance from some parts of the suburb. Whitfords Shopping Centre, Hillarys Boat Harbour, and only around 20 minutes drive to the city in normal traffic, like everywhere else takes longer in peak times. I moved over here from Melbourne a few years ago, Melbourne was so much cheaper than Perth, at that time now it is the opposite. We rented a huge 4x2 new build in Melbourne for $375, came over here and and 4x2 was $600,now WA is the cheaper. Dont know about orthodontist, but there is a gymnastics club in Wangara,about 15 minutes from here which is good, think there is also one in Balcatta,

As ali says, getting a firm offer / contract for the role via the agency would be a good option if they are willing. I am guessing you are aware of the other big issue regarding your wife and first child? That if they did not enter Australia to make first entry within the specified time, their visas would have been cancelled. So, even if you get an rrv they can not travel with you.
-
Hi, I'm guessing the problem you're having is being able to prove the substantial ties to Aus. Have you asked the agency if they can re-write the letter to prove that you have a firm job offer (perhaps mentioning the name of the company). RRV's are taking a considerable amount of time for those who have not met the residency requirements. Did your family validate their visa's? If not then those will have expired and they would need to apply for new visa's also (rather than RRV's).
-
Hello Folks! Great forum by the way... Just want to get some advice and maybe ideas how to get over my issue with RRV. I would appreciate your support on that. I am a geologist (the guy that deals with rocks :) and In October 2013 was granted a PR 190 visa for me and my family - then wife and a child. I flew to Perth right away in November 2013 - just by myself to try to find a job. Unfortunatelly nothing came up and I had to fly elsewhere - Middle East at that time gave some good opportunities. In the meantime we welcomed 2 more children in our family (there is 5 of us now). While I was in the Middle East - a job agency in Perth contacted me several times offering me a position - at that time I had to stick to my job in the M.E. Unfortunatelly 5 years flew very quickly and I almost forgot about my PR reneval. I came back from the Middle East to my home country in Central Europe and could not fly to AU before the 5 year period passed, for many reasons. I contacted a job agency in Perth and got a letter from them saying that they would offer me a job if I get RRV. I myself applied in November 2018 for RRV and included the agency letter in the application but till this day nothing ... no response from the immigration. An immigration agent told me that the agency letter is not sufficient, I would have to have a proper job offer, for any position - inlcluding cleaner, waiter etc., not necessary in my profession. The letter would be a strong point for me to receive RRV. The thing is I don't know anybody in AU that would help me with that. Anybody can give advice ? Thanks Mic

I love how during the summer you put out a load and it's dry by the time you're putting out the second. We use our dryer a lot in winter

we never used a dryer ......... As that Perth sun drys clothes in about 30 minutes ! and the breeze from the fremantle Dr helps in the afternoon

Converting University of Sunderland Certificate of Education to Australian Qual
ali replied to Sharon Goodchild's topic in Jobs, Careers, Vacancies
Good luck Sharon. I think it will be down to the Uni's if they accept the qualifications against prior learning - it may be that they have to be against specific units. I know when my son did a cert IV - they looked at the units he'd done at High school in the related subject and he didn't have to do those particular units again and got a refund against them. -

Converting University of Sunderland Certificate of Education to Australian Qual
Sharon Goodchild replied to Sharon Goodchild's topic in Jobs, Careers, Vacancies
Hi, Sorry it took so long to respond. I had some delay getting a transcript from my UK Uni, however all good now. My qualifications have been assessed by the Overseas Qualifications Unit, and have been identified as: • The Certificate in Education (Further and Adult) is assessed as comparable to the educational level of an Australian Graduate Diploma. • The Level 3 – Assessing candidates using a range of methods is assessed as comparable to the educational level of an Australian Certificate IV. I'm currently working as an Education Assistant at a high school, so am considering contacting the Teacher Registration Board to see if i can use this Diploma towards a teaching degree. It's fantastic to have had your advice and I'm so grateful. I had spoken to many Uni's who would only advise enrolling to a Teaching degree first then after I'd completed 2 units, they would consider previous qualifications. Have a fantastic weekend Sharon Goodchild -

Only daft question is the one that doesn't get asked lol. We brought both our washing machine and tumble dryer. We did use it in the winter months
-
Probably a daft question, but is it worth shipping a tumble dryer over for use in the winter months? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 using Tapatalk

Hi @flaspur - welcome to the forum This is an old thread from 2018. would be great to hear though of your own migration journey

We're in the process of talking to a few firms. White & Co offered us the best deal by far. Hope it's not too good to be true but we're thinking of going with them seeing they've been around for donkey's years. Their Australia page has also got some really useful info on their too which helped seal the deal - https://www.whiteandcompany.co.uk/removals-to-australia/ - you can also book a survey any time you like using their little bit widget thingy which is quite cool. I used this after I got home from work out of hours and got it all booked in quite easily.

@FOL thanks bud. At first we will rent and give a good few years before we buy. Thanks for the input

Nothing passive aggressive about it. Little surprised you haven’t noticed the downturn.
-
No need for the passive aggressiveness. I'm in not in one industry either, but again, I don't notice the downturn at all, except from what I read from the news.
-
My “ network “ is not limited to one particular industry and I personally am doing fine in Perth/WA but I can still see outside of my own personal circumstances and realise things are far from great here.

Pretty good areas. Most of them definitely more expensive. Hillarys at the top of the list, followed by Woodvale and duncraig (and Carine I think, I don't know carine that well) then followed by the rest. Depends on what you want. Hillarys is the closest to the ocean, but the most expensive. We have friends in Woodvale who paid 150k more for a house, just because it is in Woodvale, making their kids fall in the catchment area for the woodvale high school. edit: compared to Melbourne, all RE is probably cheap.
