Dont know about Perth itself but down here in Bunbury we had a shortage, and they were getting paid megabucks (I know early this year it was $60/sq mt). We have finished building now so not sure of the current situation but may be worth contacting a few tiling companies to find out.

alright mate! sponsorship is hard to get. plus your tied for 2 years and what happens if your boss is a tool? try a skilled visa and work for yourself if you can or just find the tilers in the area you move to and take it from there! i worked in queensland for 4 months ''tiler'' the money there was $30-40 tops per m2 thats subby to a builder! its worse for a tiler $25-35 hr crap!
nearly all floors basicly the ground floor except the living room! and 600mm of the bath ''splashbacks'' unless they pay for extra! averagehouse is 120m2 should do it in a week if you get stuck in! beware movement joints everywhere witch you have to silicone walls and floor! $3600 @ $30m2
no shower trays just a base that you have to sand cement screed with falls to a drain then tile it $150 per base
$3 m-lin for silicone work . all wet areas are tanked for you the wall adhesive is like piss but the tiles hang because the walls are cementsheet! floor stuff is the same but not rapid set! nowt to worry about! get visa fly uo out then get grafting!!!! good luck mate!!!!!!!
