Hi Jennie

There's loads of work for sparkies out here everywhere, he should have no problems finding work.

He will need to get his electricians licence, this is the part that can take a bit of time and some employers won't employ you without one (there are some that will employ you whilst you're getting it though).

There is an electricians forum on here, so any questions you have about licencing or anything else to do with being an electrician in Australia post on there and we'll help all we can. http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=97
