Perhaps it is on the "in demand" list because it is poorly paid so no-one wants to do it? Any opinions/ experience on that, anyone? X
You earn a average wage here as you would in the uk. Brisbane would have more places of employment as its a larger city. But if it is like the Gold coast then things are a little tight on jobs as we have not had any bad weather ( Hail ) which is relied on to keep the industry ticking over. There are jobs but not as many as a while back. If you check the courier mail ( Brisbane paper ) they have a employment section which normally has jobs in it. Good luck. Quill.

Thanks Quill,
appreciate the advice. We go to Brisbane in September for our reccie and if anyone works in a bodyshop and is prepared to let my hubbie have a look around & a chat in September he would be over the moon.
Also, is it easy to get jobs as a foreman of a paintshop? That is what my hubbie is doing now, he still paints & preps but is also the overall foreman. Do those jobs come up often? Thanks x
