Newbie to the site info required on what my chances could be
Hi All,
Have read loads and now know quite a few people going off to Perth & Adelaide. They are all builders, plumbers etc.
I am a bookkeeper currently working for a corporate lawyers in London for the past 10 years (legal cashiering for 5 of those).
I am 36 my Husband is 48 (he is a house husband and cares for our 2 boys age 4 & 7).
Does anyone know if it is worth going forward or do I need to be a fully qualified accountant along with so many years experience to at least get a look in?
We would have approx £150,000.00 to go with also are bookkeeper or anything in that line (legal cashiering) in demand, any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Have a look on immi.gov.au, you will find, after playing around for a while, the MODL (in demand list) and the SOL (occupation list) I'm sure bookkeeper isn't on there but I think I have seen legal cashiering (or something similar). You must be qualified with recent experience, you can also do your points score on there.
I would, as already advised, speak to an agent even if it's just to find out where you stand.
Good luck!
