Can anyone tell me if my OH is too old to take up training in Australia as he is 48 is has a trade which is painter and decorator but has not been working for a while and thought about becoming a plumber. Secondly would it be easier for us to get out there if we went on a sponsored territory visa, as we would be prepared to go anywhere and stay for the first 2 years, as long as we could get over there? Any advice would be gratefully recieved.
