Thanks for all your post everyone, I got my IELTS results today L8.5 R6.5 W7 S9, that's worse then last time, I have really had enough with this test, I am thinking long and hard about going for the 489 visa but I'm nervous that it might not be the right choice, I am a hairdresser and my partner is a team manager in social housing, he has worked with people with addiction and mental health issues, I am hoping Mandurah is going to be an ok option for us both to find work. I guess it's a difficult choice many have made before, anymore advice would be a good mood lifter from the disappointment from this money making test.

Hi all, just wanted to get some people's advice who went on a 489 visa or carried on re-sitting the IELTS. I missed out by getting a 7 on the reading, over 8's on all other subjects, I just don't think I can do it again for the 5th time. Any advice would be great. Chris

Hi, I have just re-sat my IELTS, for the fourth go, I missed out by one point last time get my results next Friday, can't bare to do it again. I am now thinking of going for the 489, Mandurah is looking like a great option over Peth, good to hear people are enjoying living there. has anyone regretted going on a 489 visa as apposed to keep trying with the effing IELTS?. Chris

I am using Lauren from sort out my visa and she is amazing!, and her price is better then go Matilda by about £600

Hi travelchic, as I didn't have enough training time to be classed as a 3 year apprenticeship I had to obtain a AQF 111, lots of paper work, 2 hr Skype interview, had to perform a haircut on Skype, 4 hairdressing exams and the total cost was £1900, I must really want to go to Oz

Hi, I'm going through the early stages with an agent, just passed my AQF111 and re-sat my ielts for the third time!!, hoping to go in on a 190 visa, once I have the AQF cert then it's trade assessment next.
