Re: Nursery Nurse expat.

Thanks guys.

Some good info. Just out of curiosity, is my wife's skill/qual on the skills shortage list?
Just in case I am unsuccessful with my skilled visa application.

Cheers

Re: Working as a TA electrician in QLD

This is my biggest worry. I could go through this long process and not even get a job when I move over. I might have to get a job in a bar.lol.
