Help!!

[Sarah Bannister]

Hi everyone, I am new to this so have soooo many questions!!

 

My husband and I desperately want to make the move to Perth, we have a son nearly 13 & a daughter nearly 10 (we also have a 25 year old daughter and 5 year old grandson who will not be making the move with us)!

my son has a big love of football so worried about getting into a team, making new friends etc and is causing us a little heartache about making that ultimate decision.

 

We are really unsure about visas, no matter what site I try it always baffles me so hoping someone can help us out in simple terms!

my husband is a floor layer with 25 years under his belt, unfortunately his profession is no longer on the skilled list so can't go down that route but wondered if there is a way of moving out there and then finding work? He has a friend in Perth, also a floor layer so could help with finding work.

 

 

Area's.....good and bad areas of Perth, we have been looking at secret harbour, baldivis, port Kennedy but unlimited want an area with good schools as the kids future is very important to us....all advice welcome!

 

Thanks xx

Hi Sarah it's so overwhelming when you first start to think of making the move but it does get a bit easier as you get over each hurdle. You would be best speaking to a migration agent, the initial phone call doesn't cost anything but will give you an idea of what your options are. I don't think you can get sponsorship if your skill is not on the list.

Are you sure you have checked both lists? There are two - SOL and CSOL.

 

It used to be on their recently?

 

It may be worth having a quick chat with a good agent to check as sometimes what an ocuptation is called is different to what you expect. Give Go Matilda a quick call.

 

Unfortunatly if it is not on either list, then there is no visa available.
