Re: Life, Australia and Chefs
Came here in 2005. My b/f is a head chef. He had so much work it was coming outta his ears. In Sydney, he just did casual work he worked about 40-50 hours a week and brought in about $1000 a week minus tax. Penalty rates = V good money.

Living in tassie now where they are crying out for chefs, and thank goodness they where. My b/f got a job and his work sponsored him as and we now have our perm residency.
Here you must go to tafe or college and train to be a chef. Thats what they mean here most of the time when you see adds in the paper for qualified chefs. You have 1st 2nd 3rd year apprentice then they qualify as a chef. We found that v strange when we came here. My b/f got his job on experience/cv and that his boss phoned up the agencies he had worked for and got good references.
No worries getting work in Aus as long as you arent a cowboy/cowgirl.

We were worried that they wouldnt take him as he is not college trained and it is nice to see that things have worked out for you.
