Preparing the move to Oz!
 
Hi all!
So fortunately for me i was born in Australia and left when i was just 3 months old. I'm currently going through the process of getting my citizenship and australian passport sorted and i am looking to make the move back to my homeland in Spring 2018. I am a fully qualified spark and spent 9 years on the tools before joining the army as an electrician in the Royal Engineers almost 5 years ago although to be honest i haven't really done much sparkying in that time, anyway thats bye the bye...
I am new to the forum and i'm sure i could find out what im looking for after a few hours of trawling through peoples various posts but hopefully there is someone who can break it down for me nicely into exactly what i need to do to transfer my qualifications so they are recognised in Australia. I am still unsure as to where exactly i think i will settle down but i'm thinking Brisbane (QLD).
If there's anymore information you need off me to point me in the right direction then please ask, thank you in advance!:thumbsup:

Hi there and welcome :)

As you do not need a skills assessment to move, but will need to get your skills assessed in a similar fashion, you could start the process know with someone like Vetassess, or maybe contact here - HomePage as recommended by another member.
