Guest Tony & Liz Elliott Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hiya, we will be coming to Perth in September as yet I dont have a job to go to but as we are coming in on a student visa I can only work 20 hours per week (my husband is coming to do an AQF in roofing). I am interested in working for a local council but have heard in passing that you cant work for councils unless you are a permanent resident - does anyone know if this is correct? Thanks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cazmayo Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi Liz, When I was last in Perth, some years ago, I worked as a temp. I worked for a local council for several months (kept being asked back). Technically, the temp agency would have been my employer. Though I read in another thread, a lady that worked as an investigator I think for the council in the UK, but was told she couldnt do it in Perth unless she was a citizen?? Best of luck.

Guest nicdavidson7 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi there - from what I have read about this, I think it depends on whether the job itself is temporary or permanent. If you have a temporary visa, you wouldn't be allowed to do a permanent job but could work in a temporary job with a local council. From the vacancies I have been looking at, it usually says in the advert if you have to be a permanent resident. Good luck! Nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
