Also a qualified sewing machinist but if need to get job too all helps i suppose!

Matt was thinking Perth to live but looking seems Gold coast seems to get alot for job offers mentioned so will have to see with that too, we not to fussed!;)
Your first step would be to get his skills assessed, everyone needs to do this prior to the actual visa application! At first I didn't realise this, and nearly died when I did, but as a teacher, my SA was very straightforward. I think for the likes of your OH's occupation vetassess might be the people who assess him, but don't quote me on that. A lot of the 'tradies' as they like to call them in Oz are required to do a practical as part of their skills assessment, not sure if tiler is included amongst that. Also you'd be best to check to see which of the states are sponsoring tilers, as State Sponsorship tends to be the quickest route @ the moment, or the Critical Skills List, but most of the tradies were removed from this list on the 16th March. If you're sponsored by a state you are obliged to live and work in that state for the first two years, then you are free to move elsewhere. That's a 176 visa, the 175 is an independent skilled migration visa, but is @ the bottom of the priority processing list, I should know, as that's the category us poor Primary School Teachers fall under....so I've a long wait ahead of me!

OOPS, I might be wrong, tiler might still be on the CSL. Here's some threads that might prove useful starting points for you both:

Not a problem, any time, I've a lot of time on my hands for the next two months as the academic year ended this week in Northern Ireland, it's a hard life being a teacher! :p Having looked @ a wee snippet on one of those threads it seems you need to get ur SA done by the TRA or something. Also, it might be important, does your OH have any formal qualifications for his trade?

What I would do is contact some of the people directly, on those threads, by PM, the ones that still seem to be active on the site, and ask their advice, as they'll have already gone through the process of having their skills assessed etc.

[ i havent worked for 3 yrs as am a housewife to my two children.

What you mean is that you haven't been in paid employment for 3 years - as a housewife and mother to 2 I'm sure you've done plenty of work.... unfortunately such important skills are not recognised on the skills list:)
