HELP NEEDED - WHICH VISA, FORMS AND QUALIFICATIONS

16 years ago
Hi

We are looking to move to Perth.

I am a painter and decorator with 22 years experience of running my own small business, however I have no formal qualification i.e. city and guilds.

My partner is a health care support worker with NVQ level 2 specialising in ent/ orthopaedics/major head and neck surgery/maxifacial/medicine.

We have been researching for quite some time and been in contact with Australian House in order to identify the best route for us to go down.

However, we seem to be getting very confusing messages as to what is actually required with regard to visa, which forms to complete and what qualifications may be necessary.

We would really appreciate if anybody can advise us what route they have taken or what route may be applicable to us, or who we could contact in order to get some clearer advice.

Many thanks

Bern and Michelle
