Criminal conviction
I'm a social worker worked with local council in the UK. It did a stupid thing whichI regret to this day, after having alcohol I had an argument with my partner which resulted in actual bodily harm. I was dismissed from my job. I was sentenced to 18 months community order. I could not complete the sentence as I had to leave the country, which i informed the court.
I'm planning to move to Australia in search of Job in my field. Please can anyone shed light on success rate if I apply for a with visa and secondly, what are the chances of finding a job in the same field.
Thanking you in anticipation of your replies.

One of the first questions would be is how old is the conviction?

Well, from his post he is still in the UK, which does beg the question about having to leave the country, if he was a UK citizen, then he would not have had to leave, so there seems to be a bit of the story missing.

Re: Criminal conviction
But I would be engaging a registered agent with experience of cases with character issues. Aus has tightened up a lot on character/conviction issues lately, yours is very recent, which is not good, and it onvolves your partner, which is always a big red flag with DIBP.
Get professional advice before you go any further.

Hi, I'm not a British citizen. I was on a work visa and had to leave when i lost my job and my employer cancelled my visa.

Re: Criminal conviction
This raises a big red flag. You were only convicted less than 2 months ago and have an 18 month sentence. In my opinion you're unlikely to be granted a visa to come to Australia if you have an unfinished sentence in another country.

Re: Criminal conviction
I'm inclined to agree,especially with it involving a partner and ABH.

Re: Criminal conviction
Hi, thanks for your reply. When my visa is cancelled, how could I enter the UK. It's catch 22 situation.
