Can`t be 100% sure but I think you would qualify. Hopefully someone on here will know for definite.

Do you not have any qualifications that could get you there on your own? If not, why not look into going on a student visa and gaining PR after your studies are over?

Remaining relative would normally be preferable to the "study" route.

Aunts do not disqualify you from being a remaining relative. If you have no other close relatives in the UK, and no step-siblings or step-parents etc, then it seems you might have a chance of remaining relative if you are still single.

Downloand and read booklet 4:

Your parents will need to have been in Australia 2 years to sponsor for remaining relative. An Assurance of Support (which has its own income rules) is also mandatory.

If you think you are still eligible, it's recommended to get professional assistance with a remaining relative application. Ian Harrop is a good option if you are in the UK: http://www.ianharrop.co.uk

Hi Everyone

Thankyou for replying, I am going out in June. I am currently working for BT as a Account Manager so I do not qualify for a skill. I have spoken to the agent my family used on friday and they say I will get in on the remaining relative fine if not i will go for the study route - maybe become a teacher! Best of luck everyone x
