There should be information on the Vetassess site. There may also be some information in the Plumbers section of the forum - Plumbers - British Expats

Hopefully someone else can help with their experience but the assessment can vary by country. Plumbers from the UK and some other countries take a different assessment to the rest of the world (UK plumbers undertake assessment under OSAP with an RTO as opposed to a TRA assessment). What country are you from?

I am from india but test will be conducted in South africa , Ireland or at United kingdom hope some who already given test for plumbing assessment to vetessess can guide me .....

If you are an Indian passport holder, then you need to apply via TRA, not Vetassess.

Only passport holders from UK, South Africa or Ireland can apply via Vetassess as a Plumber.

I'm 20 years old and I want to know if I could move to Australia if I want in a few years as a plumber.

I went to college for two years and have a level 2 city and guilds diploma.

If anyone could tell me what they know it would be much appreciated thanks.

Thank you for posting this is a great help as my husband and I are looking to make the move. How long is the temporary visa for ?

Pollyana

Which temporary visa? There are several.

compo76

the working visa - just so we can test the water first ? Or If we went for the subclass 190 is this permenant ?

verystormy

Yes, if you get the required experience and the occupation is still on the list then

nuzil

Yeah, i still need to get the experience, I'm just want to know if i need more education. Do I need an nvq?

verystormy

Getting a sponsor would not be easy. Once in Oz, a plumber can not work as a plumber, instead needs to undertake a number of college courses and work as a trade assistant for a period (about a year) which is a bit like working as an apprentice.


Temporary visas also come with a number of issues which you should make sure you are aware of such as costs for education if you have children.


A 190 visa is a permanent visa

compo76

What if we went on the skilled visa for plumber and then couldn't find work can you then work as anything ?

old.sparkles

Yes, once you have the visa you can do whatever work you want

nuzil

I'm 20 years old and I just wanna know my options for the future. I have a level 1 and 2 city and guilds diploma. What qualifications do you need to move to australia for plumbers, and if I had those qualifications how would I go about getting permanent residency in Aus. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
