Can anyone help?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, so if i do anything wrong please let me know.
I was just wondering if anyone can help. My girlfriend has just finished uni and we are considering going to oz for a year. I've been looking on immi.gov.au and looking at the various visa's but as far as i can see they only allow you to work for 3 months at a time.
This is fine for my girlfriend but i would probably need to work for at least 11 of the 12 months to afford it. I'm a training accountant, i have an AAT qualification and i am working through the professional stage of ACA. Hence, i would like a steady job as accountancy firms don't tend to employ for 3 month periods.
The only way i can see to do this is by applying for a skilled migration visa but due to the cost (approx £600 i think?) and the amount of time this might take i'm quite reluctant to do this.
Is there any way i can work for 12 months in the same job without migrating?
Also, does anyone know of any good websites for accountancy jobs in australia. We're looking at melbourne.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I worked in Australia in Accounting. I used a working holiday visa (the 3 month one) but I did not find any problem in getting jobs for 3 months but I did stay in Brisbane which helped to build up a relationship with the agengies.
Hope this helped

The WHV is a really good way to see Australia without all the stresses that everyone else is going through on this forum by trying to get a better Visa. If you hit lucky you may just get a company that will sponsor you to stay longer - this happen to a lad I was sharing an appartment with, he's still there. There are companies that will keep you on longer than 3 months, but that is a personal choice as there are repercussions if you get caught by the Authorities. Try looking at www.tntmagazine.com as well as this is a magazine geared up towards travellers with tons of info on jobs, accommodations etc.
