Bobby Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hello All, I have recently been granted a state sponsored WA Regional Skilled Visa. I am looking to move back to WA very shortly. Currently I am in the process of handing in my notice at work and tidying up my affairs at this end. I have worked in the Pilbarra region before as a carpenter and at the time I possessed a WA "B"Class HGV licence ( now expired, however I would like to renew this upon arrival in WA) I also possess an Honours Degree in Civil/Structural Engineering and presently I am involved in the construction of clean and wastewater treatment works. A brief visit to WA in March 2012 confirmed my wish to return and I made some professional contacts while there. A number of companies wish to speak to me upon my return. However, if anyone on here may know someone who might be interested, additional information can be supplied. I am also looking for some temporary accommodation on a short term basis. Any pointers/ info on where to look would be very helpful at this stage. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hello Verystormy, Only been on here a couple of hours and a reply already!! I am a single bloke with a couple of large suitcases. Probably leave the guitar here in the UK. A room is all I am looking for on a very temporary basis. I have a Skilled Regional Visa ( Sub-Class 189). So I was just planning to Stay in Perth short term before heading out wherever the work is. Thanks for your speedy reply. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Welcome to PP - have a look on gumtree - are you restricted to where you live and work on your visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Ali, You can view ads on Gumtree from the UK but you can only view a few digits of a phone number or the start of an email address. Apparently, if you are outside of Australia, this is all you can view. Because my Visa is Regional, I cannot live and work in the Metropolitan area.
