Hiya

Looking for some advice.. first post so please be kind!

My brother and his wife have just gone to WA in December on a skilled visa, both now permanent citizens. Both employed.

Is there any visa that could get me - a sibling, there?

I’ve looked online and it is a minefield.

Thank you for reading!

Firstly, they must be Permanent Residents if they have just moved, few years to go yet before they will be citizens, and it would be the same for you if you are able to move
Its unlikely that their presence would help you in applying, it will come down more to your own skills, and/or those of your partner if you have one. If you can tell us more about your skills and age, that would help.

I'm a x brimie, try your best it's great

i sent my application to Vetassess for a professional skills assessment 7 weeks ago and counting. Apparently can take up to 20 weeks for the result. Crossing my fingers and toes for a positive outcome!

I'm no sure either. However, I brought my family over here through a sponsorship method, but in order to do so I was required to be a citizen. There is also a hefty bond with each application. We used GoMatilda for the one application, Emergico for the other. Both were great.
EDIT: By family I mean parents/siblings.

Hi! I went through Vetassess and got a positive skills result. Then sat the pte exam. I’ve sent off my EOI to Westerrn Australia with 100 Points for a 491 visa. The nominations are closed until end of July & beginning of September so it’s a wait now to see if I get invited. It would just be me and my daughter. Good luck to you!

In that case 100 points should do the trick! I guess it's just a waiting game.

thank you for the words of encouragement, I really do hope so!

Once you're sponsored by the State, you'll have to qualify and apply for a visa. Bear in mind that if it's just you and your child you'll need either a court order or a signed statutory declaration from the other parent saying you can remove her from the UK.

Hi, thanks for the advice. I am a solicitor so it won’t be a problem. I have sole parental responsibility too which of course makes it easier. I may not even get invited, but fingers crossed!
