Plumbers qualification? Subclass 457
Hi all
Last year I completed my NVQ 2 and have worked (unpaid) with a local plumber to gain some experience in the field. I have read in the threads, if you wish to immigrate to OZ you would first need your skills assesed through Vetasses, however if you apply for a Temp Business (long stay) sponsorship visa subclass 457 there is no mention of having your skill assesed??? Also if you are prepaired to move to a rural area your they are even prepaired to waiver your years of experience. Is this true?? I wish to move to Queensland (Innisfail). I`m prepaired to make a trip out there to find a company in need of a mature plumber. Any suggestions/advice. Regards Michael
