Guest vikkeytymo Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi Everyone. My name is Vikkey and I have recently qualified as a hairdresser. We are 1 year into our 4 year plan to get to Oz, but browsing on here I have come to realise Western Australia are not sponsoring hairdressers. I have been looking on the CSOL which hairdressing is on. Are my hopes now shattered of coming to Perth or can I still apply without state sponsorship and forfeit the awarding 5 points. If so I need to get 8's on the IELTs? Can anybody shed any light on this please before I contact an agent tomorrow Thank you xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi vikkey if you can get the 8s in ielts you won't need state sponsorship. I was lucky enough to get my visa last year as a hairdresser as I needed the extra 5 points. They've took a lots of trades off this year but it may come back on again.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyLeB Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hairdresser is on the CSOL therefore you require state nomination or employer sponsorship. This is not a points issue only occupations that are on the SOL are able to apply for the skilled independent visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akasully2 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 It is amazing how quickly you forget stuff. Can anyone just remind me what CSOL stands for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 its the consolidated occuation list, if your job is not on the SOL but is on the CSOL it means you need either a state or employer to sponsor you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
