hi, im looking at coming out very soon, maybe a year or two, just get some pennies behind me first, im coming out with my partner and my daughter of 5yrs. what do i have to do to get work over there, thinking about popping out for a hol next year, but have decided its where i want to live! i have been hairdressing for 7-8 years, been on the floor 3-4 yrs of that, obviously have more experience when i come out. is it best to have employment set up before i come for good?

I cant' see why you can't be added to their visa becaise you are 18.
Provided you are under 23 and you can prove you are dependent of your parents, this should not be a problem.

My daughter is 21 and is coming on our permanent residency visa that we have applied for as she is a full time student nurse and is fiancially dependant on me and her dad, if u want to go on your parents permanent visa u have to prove the same. if u go on an international student visa then you will have to pay for all of your tuition, books etc i found this out as i needed to know as my daughter is a student. the colleges in and around perth are -( if you put into google ) tafewa - it will come up with swan tafe and challenger tafe these are the 2 biggest techs , there is also a private one called taylor weir school of hairdressing. I hope this is of some help to you.

Hello Ann

I guess we are about the same age as i will turn 45 soon and i am also expected to get my visa sometime in April/may or earlier or later depending on our C.O.
My daughter is age 20 and she is on our application.
Have you been able to find out if it is easy/difficult to get jobs or would you stick to teaching hairdressing - beauty therapy.

annkc

I am 39yrs of age, had my daughter early! was at an immigration seminar in Edinburgh and i spoke with someone who works for the Australian government, he told me about the techs etc and that they are in need of teachers in my trade. so i am not sure if i will get a job doing this or not but its what i still want to do, it's what i am comfortable with. If i have to change my profession then i will, but at the moment i don't see a problem. Maybe as time gets closer to us moving, then i might start to worry about not having a job lined up.

Hi Ann
That's correct - You still have some time to explore all possibilities and i'm sure you will be able to do somethng that you are really comfortable with.
