Thanks for that link - however i know that if we were to come over we would not want to become a burden on the state. if we come over we will pay our way and work hard. my partners always moaning on about the people coming over here and getting loads of benefits, but thanks for the advice, every bit helps

You'll get Family tax benefit (like child allowance in the UK only means tested) and maybe some help with rent (if you're eligible for FTB and again it's means tested). So tell him it's not scrounging, it's just tax benefits and help with costs of bringing up kids.

Hi Donna and good shout.....
Me also Carpenter in Perth and wages for me differ weekly......good week,including a few hours Saturdays....up to $1500.00 , bad week.. no Saturday and minimum hours....$850/950.00.
Hourly rates can differ...know most are on $25/30 per hour and heard talk of some on up to $40 per hour.All say the same though...If you can make up to $1500.00 in a week you are doing well.
Hope this answers a few questions for some.

There is plenty of building work out there, it's just not advertised so much. Have a look for posts by Aston Man who is a brickie in Perth, he'll tell you how it is.

Anyone got a steer on earnings for automotive Business Managers?
And are there any differences in the F&I referral or sales processes?
