Are you asking about your 16 year old son finding work in Brisbane?
You say your husband is a 'production engineer' but his trade that got him a visa is a 'shop floor machinist' but now you are inquiring about engineering opportunities? There is a huge difference between a production engineer and a machinist, my first step would be to clarify the requirements of both and start your job search accordingly.

Your 16 year old is going to have to go back to school but his education will likely be screwed up a bit - can he stay in UK and finish A levels otherwise he will have to complete yrs 11&12 to finish school in Aus with kids much younger than himself if he, too, has aspirations of going to university. As for jobs for your husband - who knows! Queensland isn't exactly booming at the moment and his skills may not be needed in Brisbane.

Re: Question about son getting work in Brisbane
Not sure what the previous responses find difficult in what you wrote. I got the gist of what you said.
Try the below link
www.seek.com.au
Should give you a fair idea of your options.
Largely depends on what official qualifications your husband has an 'Engineer'
If he is essentially a trade qualified machinist that has gravitated into an engineering position through experience, he will find it difficult to convince an employer over here without ever having worked over here.
Hope this helps

Just a hint, I think you'll get better and friendlier info if you reword your original post, I found it a bit confusing too. Good luck with your plans, it's an exciting time!

Re: Question about son getting work in Brisbane
Then it says they got a visa as hubby is engineer and then it said they got visa as he is a machinist. Then it says he is a production engineer "here" and can he get work? So I was confused especially about all the son stuff.
To get good answers it really is worth reading back one's post to see if it is going to make sense to others. It would only take an extra few seconds.

Re: Question about son getting work in Brisbane
Hi All sorry for the confusion!!! I was in a bit of a rush at time. What I meant to say was we got our visa cause OH was on job shortage list, cnc engineering but he is actually what is known over here as a production engineer ( qualified) basically he writes all the programmes for cnc machines and problem solves, also goes abroad to look at new machines for company but during his apprenticeship he obviously run cnc machines hence why we got the visa!! My eldest son is at the Peninsular school of Dentistry and intends to go to Oz once he has qualified. My youngest son is nearly 16 and will be doing his gcse's in a few months. My question is, the wages for a cnc machinist do not look very good and is a production engineer over here classed under a different name over in Oz? Is there much work in this area at the mo cause our PR visa runs out in Aug so its now or never and I am feeling a bit nervous about everything at mo.!! Thanks

It seems to me that you are leaving your run a little to late, as this should have at least been looked at when you got the visa in the first place. Only way to find out is look on seek.com.au or careersone.com.au, apply like everyone else, and hope you get something in time.

Re: Question about son getting work in Brisbane
Not sure if this is what you are asking:
If your visa is granted on the basis that you are a nurse, and it is a permanent residency visa, as soon as you land you can work as anything. That nurse could get a job in a shop and it is fine. Nothing illegal.
So your husband can apply to work in any field.
I am guessing you are from Malaysia? There are lots of Malaysian people in Melbourne- I work with about 7! (one was brought over as a pilot but he does something completely different now)
