how can we get to australia???
hi all,
we are a family of 6(2 adults 4 kids). i am trying hard to get to australia, yet each immigration agency i phone tells me because i have no trade or degree i will never get in. i work as a site manager in the house build industry. i have been in the job for 11 years now and thought this would be plenty to go on!!!! i am only just 30 years old and 2 of my kids are 11 and 12 so if i start studying now they may not want to go once i have qualified. my wife works as a civil servant. if anyone has any advice for us it would be great.
THANKS.

have a look at this it gives you a list of trades/jobs that you can apply under if any relate to what you do then yes i would say you have a chance once you have looked then go to
http://www.immi.gov.au/
make a note of the number from the sol list then look up who assess your trade once you have found this out then you apply and hope for the best.
for management im not sure if you need qualifications but i do know for a trades man you dont just plenty of years work experience
good luck and let me know how you get on

I think I replied on the other forum, but you need to check out the SOL list of occupations and see whether you qualify under any of them
You dont necessarily need qualifications as experience will usually do, as long as it is at least 6 years (some occupations need 7 or 8)

For most professions, you can qualify with formal qualifications and less work experience than you mention.
