Scaffolding in Australia
Hey, me, my husband and son are looking to move to Australia. My husbands a scaffolder here and he is fully qualified. Are scaffolders in demand at the moment? How are the wages?
Any infomation on scaffolding in Australia would be grateful, thanks. |
Re: Scaffolding in Australia
Is he an Australian citizen? If not, you are probably out of luck - scaffolding is not on the list of occupations in demand, so it'll be hard to get a visa. Does he have any other trade qualifications? Roofers are on the list for example.

Re: Scaffolding in Australia
He's a fully qualified scaffolder but he's not qualified in anything else. His supervisor from work actually knows someone running a scaffodling firm in Australia. Would he be able to get a visa that way?
We actually were planning on moving to the USA our visas have been approved but scaffolding isnt doing well there and we heard it was in demand in Australia. |

Hi
from my experience i would say that here in Melbourne they tend to do all work off of booms ..... and i mean everything the 2 years i have worked here on big jobs up in the city i have used a scaffold twice and that was only because a boom couldn't be used |
Re: Scaffolding in Australia
Just a thought, have you looked at Christchurch, New Zealand?
their construction industry should be getting into high gear soon, after all its only been 2 years since they had their big shake. |

Re: Scaffolding in Australia
British scaffolders are well respected out here and there is loads of work for them. Unfortunately it's not classed as a trade so he would need to find a sponsor.
