Scotty Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hi I was just wondering if anyone has secured a job whilst still in the UK and managed to get a relocation allowance? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yes, but it pretty rare. We were relocated. But it is getting rarer these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What industry do you work in? I am an Asset Integrity Engineer in the oil industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutnudger Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 We were relocated too in Dec 2012 on 457 visa, I am now PR and wife and kids are Australian, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I am a geologist in the mining industry. I don't know much about your occupation, but I know the oil and gas guys have laid off a lot of engineers. But no harm in trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laz Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Maybe just work on getting a job first - know of a few engineers now out of work. It's as bad here as Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Laz Do you work in the oil industry? I am hoping that by the time we arrive in Perth the oil price has gone up a bit. I think I am quite lucky working in Asset Integrity as there seems to still be a couple of jobs going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeB Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Scotty, I work in oil and gas and I'm heading out in a few weeks. I work in pipeline inspection and never got offered a relocation package as such but I am getting a house and car until I can find my own.
