The only advice I can give you is post this in one of the other forums. This is the least viewed forum of the lot and I would think it unlikely you will get much help in this one. Maybe this was by design.

We found that Nov - March is just a nightmare job wise.

When you say "monies not good" What is not good and what is good money for a carpenter?

We set up on our own and its going really well. Got sick of the pay/getting left down etc on full time jobs. Handymen etc seem to charge heaps.

Could try searching not just for carpenters, try installers, shopfitters etc - I know most firms we deal with have a job getting decent staff.

Also I seem to see most jobs on careerone.com.au for tradies
