Hi

Any info would be much appreciated. If the oz army are unable to sponsor me as i was not a sergeant during my service, will they be willing to give me a labour agreement, is this the same as sponsorship?

Completely lost....

Thanks

Labour agreement is one kind of sponsorship (there are others) but only applies to certain occupations/industries. Normally the employer knows about this option if available.

Would some transport companies be able to do this for truck drivers in regional areas

Loobilu,

I have applied and have been successful as an Officer but I was looking at my son in law coming accross as well. He is a Cpl in the infantry please see below the reply from "Defence". He hasn't made anymore contact as his current service is going well and he may be fortunate this year on the next board, but there is a contact email for you to use if you require any further details...good luck.

"Unfortunately, your son in-law does not meet the minimum rank prerequisite of at least Substantive Sergeant, and is not eligible to be enlisted as an Overseas Lateral Applicant.

He may still be able to join the Australian Army, if he is able to make his own way to Australia and obtain Australian Citizenship. Once he has been granted Australian Citizenship he then needs to get in contact with Defence Force Recruiting (DFR) either via phone 13 19 01 or website (www.defencejobs.gov.au). He will need to be aware that although he may gain Citizenship, he is not guaranteed that he will be enlisted into the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

More information on immigration and visas can be obtained from the Department of Immigration website (www.immi.gov.au) and the Australia High Commission, London website (www.australia.org.uk).


Should you require further clarification, please contact CPL Tim Vann on 0061 3 5258 0659 or via e-mail: [email protected]"
