Bricklayers
My other half is a bricklayer hoping to migrate to OZ but am worried about amount of work out there. Does anyone know what the building industry is like in Melbourne. Really would appreciate any help.

Welcome,
I'm a brickie too, we're heading for Queensland as there's loads of work up there, the housing boom is spreading ever northwards up the sunshine coast.
Not sure about Melbourne but the press reckon there's a cronic shortage of skilled tradesmen [and women]

Last time I checked their website the Vic Govt was sponsoring bricklayers. If you contact their STNI unit and they agree to sponsor your husband, you could find yourself enjoying a coffee in one of the snazzy cafes on the banks of the Yarra by mid this year. Good luck, adelaidegirl
