Working In Australia
Hiya Everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this post and helping out.
Basically I am thinking of taking a career break from my current employment, and taking off to Perth to see my sister for a year or so. My sister says that she could get me a job out there to help support myself, and help pay my board but my enquiry is:
if I work in Australia, will it be shown back in the UK in terms of paying tax and the Inland Revenue bods??
Thank you once again

WHV Working In Australia
you could also go on a WHV (working holiday visa) which is fast process, has 1 year validity & the basic requirement for it is that you be under 30 years of age at the time of applying...
then while you are there in Perth, you could explore on further options - if your relatives say they can get you a job, ask them if the job-giver is willing to sponsor you on an ENS (employer nomination scheme) or a 457 -Temporary Business Stay Visa, then there's always the slower Student Visa!

Re: Working In Australia
Can you afford a Student Visa? How old are you? If you're under 31 you can come out on a WHV for a year, get work in some particular jobs and get another year extension should you wish to stay longer.

Re: Working In Australia
A Student Visa isn't for students who fancy a wander round Australia. It's for those who are coming to study in Australia and have a place on a course. Not a very cheap option to say the least.

My plan is to get a Student Visa, do a course that wil benefit both me and the Australian SOL, and upon successful completion of said course, I will hopefully apply for a permanent Visa.
Yes the Student costs are quite large for a Mature International Student, but I think it is my best option if I want to realise my dream of living in Australia

The student visa to PR route has been very difficult for sometime now. Unless you have money to burn, I don't recommend trying it. I certainly would recommend researching it a lot more before embarking upon this path.

You didn't mention a permanent move at the beginning, you said a year or so.

How do you mean Bermuda? I have been told by Migration Agents and the Australian Immigration bods that Bricklayers and Blocklayers (the course I am doing) are in urgent need. Without getting ahead of myself, if I put together a convincing plea bargain and make potential employers want me and make them realise they can't do without me, surely it is worth a shot??

To the question about whether it has to be worth a shot, my answer would be no. But then I am risk adverse and would not blow my life savings on this slim chance.

Some are still here on various bridging visas, trying desperately to find a route by which to get PR - mandyp is one such who is stuck and I believe Pumpkinblossom is another. Originally they would've had PR a long time ago, as it is they are living precariously on temporary visas. Not so bad for someone single like you but dreadful for a family.
Not trying to put you off, just want you to know a bit of background, and make you aware that DIAC can change the rules at any time

Re: WHV Working In Australia
Thank you All for your advice and words of caution.
Trust me when I say, I am not taking anything for granted or expect anything other than to successfully comlete my course and have learned a new trade, and one, at the present time, is in high demand.
When I said about contacting Employers after the course, that was what I was told/advised to do by a fully qualified, fully licensed Migration Agent. I mean, it can't hurt, and i I am unsucessful, then I will simply return to the Uk, hopefully get a job in my new trade and get a years or so experienced behind me, and then try again for a Skills Visa thingymybob

Hat's off to the ginger fella for giving it a go. He who tries nothing achieves nothing. Good luck to you mate.
