Hi
You will have no problem, I am an insurance assessor and every repairer I speak to has the same problem as the UK, trouble getting good staff.

Hi I'm a car paint sprayer i have looked for jobs around the Gold coast region and there are plenty of jobs but they dont say what the wages are or if they offer a bonus scheme. Where are you thinking of moving to and how far are you from getting your visa. We are waiting to go for our medicals and police checks and hoping to be there by the end of the year.

Hi Hindon,

We haven't gone yet but we went to the expo in London in April. we approached a man from a recruitment agency. My husband told him he was a sprayer and we wanted to go to Perth. He said " You don't need a recuitment agency just pick up the paper, you will get a job no sweat ".
My husband also spoke to a Financial Advisor who is based here but comes from Aus. He asked my husband how much he thinks he would earn. My hiusband said he wasn't sure. The advisor told him they will be fighting over you you could demand between $75,000 - $100,000 per annum.
Hope this helps.

I think 50k to 60k is a bit more realistic, it all depends on where abouts you work and how many hours you want to work. One thing is for sure you won't have a problem getting a job.
