look at this and check with your agent i think that work experience may not be needed?
Any one else know.

Hi,I started our adventure in August! It takes a while to get to know your way around-this site is fab though!I have learnt loads through this.

You need to decide the area in Aus you're looking at.Wife being a hairdresser helps-she will need her certificates to pass a skills assessment.I qualified as hairdresser late 80's,tried to trace them now and its almost impossible.If she has her certs will be easier.

There are many types of visas,can be a mine field.I haven't used an agent so have been gallons of Internet searches! Very useful tool!

Let us know where your looking at and see if I have sites I can post to you.

Also how soon you're looking to go-certain visa s are prioritised!
Otherwise you can be looking at -3 months for skills assessment-TRA.Then a further year for Visa.Sponsorship from a state I have found to be fairly quick,a couple of weeks.

Good luck on your adventure! Its stressful but hopefully worth it!

Someone above has sent you a recent DIMIA post-states work experience may be overlooked for hairdressers.Have a look as WILL be useful.
To start with I would have a look at DIMIA sites to get familiar with the visas etc.New docs come out on 1st July with revised levels-points etc.
Book 6 is one of the first things you should read,gives loads of info,about 60 pages long but can download free from site.
When you have questions that pop up-post a thread on here and normally someone will reply,there are us lot who are going through applications,those in Aus who have done it,and also get some immigration agents on here.
