Skills?

Australia needs skilled workers, so they are looking for qualifications.

Most trades have relevant NVQs which you achieve by proving you have the skills (just by doing your job as you do everyday) – without having written exams.

Most UK residents will need one of the available visas to be issued before they can work in Australia. At the moment there are several types of visa from the “working holiday visas” for the under 30’s (it’s not a permanent one and we like to think of it as a try before you buy!) to the Worker’s visa (your employer helps get this once you’re offered a job).

Of course there is paperwork involved but the good news is that if you followed the “2 easy steps to getting started working in Australia with Skills Provision” and provided all the necessary paperwork, then our experienced consultants and partners can help you choose and apply for the correct visa.
