Thanks Presumably once I get bridging for a spousal visa I can do self employed work as handyman, set up my own bar/ restaurant or other self employed? Due to aforesaid ageism and recession self employed could be a better option. Also having experienced two disabled siblings I could look at care work? Alternatives: There's a UK Podiatrist qualification dealing with verrucas/ in growing toe nails etc which is not recognised in Australia but I could maybe practice through an Australian Podiatrist. Also a recently advertised training course in Perth was for taking blood but very lowly paid. There's a 2 year Marine Trainee Safety course with WA Dept of Transport too which had I a spousal visa.I could have considered. Regards Geoff

Thanks. Because of my age I think the most likely visa is spousal? This is expensive though at $6865. Are there other suitable visas to apply for basic work eg handyman, window cleaner , fruit picker, dog walker, bar / restaurant manager? Are sponsored jobs possible for general work?

Hi Ive moved to Perth from London to live with my Australian fiancee and could do with help on how or where to obtain work of any type. I'm only on a travelling visa and aged 62. We marry in November or earlier and should eventually get a spousal visa. Ive volunteered meanwhile for unpaid work Thanks for any advice Geoff
