hi sorry to here your haven troubles but unfortunately this is the same for many professions, i work in the construction industry and electricians, plumbers, plasterers etc have to retrain in order to continue there trades in wa even tho there on the skills list, i think your best course of action is the experience you have in your industry and maybe an Australian recognised qualification which i have seen can be done online before you go, maybe this could help,

A white card is basicly a cscs card its basic health and safety like in the uk.

just a quick one how long have you been a social worker and do you have a ba degree

I have heard the same i think your charged a flat rate then at the end of the tax year you submit your expenses etc and you get a rebate, my sister who has been in Perth for 17 years now gets on average upto 9000 dollars a year rebate so it sounds good to me.lol

Are you newly qualified. If you are i think you need 3 years post qualified experience. It was the same when my wife tryed but that was for social work but sounds like the same rule, luckily i found out before i left, hope it works out for you good luck

Sponsorship jobs are few and far between but i wish you all the luck world.

White card is basically the same as a cscs card.

hi kaz , the chance is slim to nothing to be blunt the plastering in wa is completely different to here in the UK its like starting from square one again most guys who go over have to labour for months before hitting the towel, just do a search on here there are plenty of posts about it.

Don't no if you have looked into this very much as it doesn't sound like it. To work as an electrician in oz you will have to retrain you might get some work as a electricians mate while you train but training can be upto a year at collage this can be done at night school but its expensive so check it out.also to work as a social worker you need 3 years post qualified experience because the English degree is only 3 years and the Australian degree is 4 years so you won't get any work as a social worker unless you do the 4th year at university in Australia which the last time i checked was 20,000 dollars. I don't mean to burst your bubble but my wife and i have been thought the same thing. If you are unsure of any thing i have said p m me and i can give you all the info i no.

Cheers Luke that helps heaps

No my wife and i are due to move nxt year i was just doing some research really. I see your in butler my brother lives there and we have heard its nice so its one place on are list to maybe live.

im currently based in the uk but I was looking for property for sale in perth as we will be moving there shortly and on one of the many websites there are and i found out on one of the banks websites that it can be between 4.5 to 6 times your salary, that aint gospel so dont everyone jump on me that is what i read. just look around go to the banks websites or wa mortgage advisers websites thats what i did. hope it helps

Hi, My wife is a social worker who currently works at are local hospital with aged care, mental capacity and independent living, is this something you can work with as she loves working with the elderly but hasn’t seen many vacancy’s to do with the elderly.
