Newbie help... very early stages of consideration
Hi folks
Looking for some advice be it good or bad on a possible move from the UK. My partner is a Carpenter/Joiner and as you are probably aware things in the UK building trade are non existent at the moment so we have been searching online for options to lead our family to a better way of life.
We filled in the Skilled Visa application and it was succesful and someone is going to call us tonight to discuss it further.
As the title states it is all very early stages
but just want to hear other peoples stories, our boys are 6 and 18 months and I am also a qualified bookeeper/accounts assistant.
Thanks in advance folks

Hi and welcome
That sounds like an agency. Make sure they are MARA registered if you are going down the agency route.
Have a good look through here yourself http://www.immi.gov.au/immigration/ to see if you what visa you may be eligible for and as Sherlock says above, have a good look round this site as there is loads of great info here.

Welcome. 
I'm guessing you're wanting general info so I'll leave this thread here but for more Immigration info you may want to head over to the Immigration Forum. You've been given the DIAC link above, when you get there take a look at the SkillSelect pages.
Many people don't use agents, they do it themselves, it's generally quite straightforward and obviously way cheaper. Others like the support a MARA registered agent gives them so it's entirely up to you.
Have you been to Aus, is there any state/territory you're interested in?
