Default Moving to AUS - Transferable Qualifications?

Hi there,

I am seriously considering moving to Aus over the next few years, however I am struggling to find anyone (including recruiters) who know anything about whether my qualifications count for much in Aus.

I am a fully qualified, regulated and authorised Financial Adviser in the UK. I have passed all the RDR exams (R01-R06) and I will complete the advanced Diploma before leaving meaning I will be a member of the Chartered Institute for Insurance, as well as having an Honours Degree in Economics and a Bachelors in Economics and Finance.

When I move to Aus, employment-wise, what are the considerations and implications if I wanted to stay in the same industry.

Any help or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How are you planning to move to Australia? What visa have you got?

Can't speak for the financial industry but in my game (engineering) you could have 20 degrees and it doesn't mean a thing without job experience.

You need to start with www.immi.gov.au to see if you qualify for a visa first
