Solution request for person with 110 points
Hello all,
I am still struggling to find a suitable alternative to the visa 175.
I have only 110 points:
25 for age
25 for 7.0+ on IELTS test
60 for occupation on SOL
I am a schoolteacher and have been for the past 9 years, working part-time
and working as a supply teacher, working on average about 2 or 3 days per week (and working as a private tutor too, for about 5 hours per week at night time). In short, my work experience does not qualify me for 10 extra points for work experience.
I have checked State Sponsorship as a solution but it seems (correct me if I am wrong) that all of the states that I am interested in (namely, QLD, WA, VIC, and SA) all require evidence of at least 12 months full-time work experience in the last 2 or 4 years, which I don't have. I only have payslips to show that I have worked as a teacher for an average 2 or 3 days per week during the last 3 years.
Does anybody have a solution?
Kind Regards,
Gary

I understand the WA Government is looking for Senior School Teachers - it may be worth your while contacting the Department of Education and Training in that State.
Best regards.

Yes, Alan is correct.
WA do a Temp 457 visa for teachers -they have taken Primary and Senior School teachers. You work for 2 years then they will do the Permanent visa for you. So this is good for those who do not have enought points or want a job and housing on arrival. But you are tied to the school for the 2 years, and jobs are in rural locations.
You can also pick up an extra 10 points for 12 months work experience in OZ. So if you did not want to wait out 2 years you could in theory put in for your own Permanent residency after 12months (once you got the extra 10points for work in OZ).

I dont think this is possible... You have to stay for two years before doing that...
