thanks xxxWhen asking for anything here, its best to provide as much information as possible, saves people asking thing, you answering, etc. before you get the answer you actually need.
You didnt specify what you do for a living?
What visa are you hoping to go over on? Check here.. http://www.immi.gov.au/ for starters.
If your husband is an engineer of sorts, then he can get assessed for the relevant occupation, however shotblaster/spraypainter doesnt really fall into the engineering category, so you might be best checking the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).....
Hope that helps.

Hi Vicky
Welcome to BE.
I recommend you check out our Australia forum, where you can chat with other expats already living and working in Australia. Many folks have already gone through the question of converting skills to qualifications, as well as the visa process, so they will be only too happy to help with useful information and advice.
You will find the forum by clicking the 'forum index' tab at the top left of this page. Scroll down the list of countries and double click Australia and you're in.
If you scroll down past the listed countries on the same index you will also see a section entitled 'Working abroad by profession', click on the word engineering below that where your OH may want to ask advice from others in the same trade.
In the meantime all the very best with your plans - and having 5 kids -
bet they keep you busy !
