Re: sub contracting
Victoria is probably the hardest place to find work as a spark without a licence. NSW you should be fine. The rest of the states. Not so easy.

Re: sub contracting
What's the best way to go about getting a licence? Should I start applying now are would it be better to do it all over there. You know any companies in Melbourne that would maby sponsor me?
