  11. First thing to say is that this is from a plumber's other half and not the plumber himself! Next thing to say is don't panic. No it isn't easy, and will have come as a bit of a shock if you didn't realise all of this before you came out, but it isn't impossible to sort out. Yes your OH does need to get his tradesperson's licence, and until he does he can only work under supervision, but once he has it he will be fine. If he is going to do anything with gas then he will need to get his gas permit too. It would be a very good idea to get his blue card if he hasn't already as he won't be able to work on any sites until he has that - but that is very straightforward and reasonably cheap. We were very lucky in that we had to come out to validate our visas and Daz stayed behind to do his migrant's plumbing and gas courses. This was last October, and he was able to do them in a one week block full-time for plumbing and two weeks block full-time for gas. The rumour at the time was that they were going to stop offering them in a block like that and make them part-time evening study, but I don't know if they went through with that? Obviously it is much quicker to just do them full-time and get them out of the way because you have your cards then and can work without supervision quicker. Daz is going to also now do his servicing ticket, and was due to start that on Monday but apparently the MPA have been broken into this morning and so it has been put back until the end of the month! He has found work too - he's working for Tap Doctor at the moment. This was only a temporary position to cover sickness, which suited at the time due to him wanting to do this course, but his boss has extended it for a while longer, which is good. And then there is the contractors course which Daz is going to do via evening study, though I'm not sure exactly what this covers, being only the plumber's wag! Daz has spoken to lots of people who have said that work is out there, and that it is worth applying for jobs even if they do state that WA experience is required, as some companies can be flexible on this if you have lots of experience and fit what they are looking for. Also, don't be afraid to cold call, and to call to chase up applications. Would it be worth seeing if you can find someone who will give your hubby some work experience, if even for a couple of weeks, and even if he is having to do it as a voluteer? That way he can get a bit of experience to put on his CV, a reference possibly, and he can also see for himself what it is actually like to be plumbing here, rather than relying on what others think. It is different, but we're in a different country with different ways of doing things. And yes it is frustrating not to be able to hit the ground running straight away, but I guess Australia is just protecting it's own back, so to speak. Don't forget to save all your reciepts for any courses and tools etc, and take advice once your hubby is working, as you can claim quite a lot back when you fill in your end of year tax form. Hope you get it all sorted out - but you have only been here a month which is no time at all. It will fall into place, Best wishes, Cheryl xx
  12. Is it open ? we were up that way Saturday and it looked pretty much closed Daz
  13. Hi, I'm a WA licenced plumber with gas permit(booked on the servicing permit in july) and blue card, I've been over a month now and looking for a full time job. Thats the easy bit,the harder bit is getting your foot in the door when all you get asked is do you have WA experience,or people promising to call you back with directions to their office for an interveiw and then turning their fone off !!!!!!!! I did a month with a company in Mandurah for free last year while validating my visa,so know a little bit about WA experience.Which is no different from plumbing anywhere else but hey oh!! I would be grateful if anyone can put a good word in for me anywhere as all i need is half a chance and 20 years experience will do the rest We have just moved into a rental in Port Kennedy so SOR would be good but im willing to travel if they are willing to give me a try thanks for reading this even if you cant help Daz Bevo
