AlexONeill Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Now that our Visa's have finally been granted i have decided to join Perth Poms. Me and my fiancé, Kelsey will be making the move over in January after we get one last cold Christmas out of the way! Hoping to get our flights booked this week. We have the 189 Visa, I am a Carpenter and Kelsey is a Beauty consultant. We will be moving into family's in High Wycombe for a while until we find our feet with work etc. Looks like Kelsey will be getting a transfer with her employer, so that should take the pressure off a little. Myself on the other hand will be starting fresh, the plan is to settle down, get a new set of tools and wheels and get myself out there, whether i work for a company or sub contract thats all to be discovered. Looks like their is mixed opinions on work for Carpenters, but what is it generally like out there now? Any advise for getting started and how to approach employers etc? Looking forward to our new life and getting to know all the Perth Poms out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also know that feeling as we only had our visas granted recently as well. My husband is a carpenter and I'm also in the beauty industry and we are making our move to Perth in Jan. We have heard lots of mixed reviews about carpentry but I'm sure there has to be some work out there, there is plenty of jobs being advertised online. Good luck with the packing xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the packing xx Sounds like our situation is pretty similar! We arrive in Perth on the 15th Jan, getting the final things sorted in the Uk now. looking forward to the move! By the sounds of things work is looking pretty good in Perth if you go looking for it, had a good response on this and poms in perth. looking very positive. good luck to you both.

family4ready2go Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 We also also arriving in Jan (11th) it seems like a popular month. Just wanted to say hi and well done. I'm hopefully not going to work much as we have 2 children. I'm just in the process of registering as an acupuncturist in Aus, fingers crossed. My husband is looking for work, currently he is a gas engineer. Any advice is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, initially he will only be able to work as a trade assistant. It might be worth starting a thread to ask about this, or use the search function to find previous threads discussing it.

KatieArmstrong39 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Congratulations! We're in a similar situation, we're coming on 18th Jan on a Working Hol Visa and applying for our 189 once we land. We wanted to set a date for the move a while ago and that seemed like a sensible option. My other half is a carpenter so hoping there's plenty of work! Good luck to you!

themcclellandsaremoving Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi we are also arriving on the 18th January my husband has work at sir Charles gairdner and I'm a physio who is already registered in NZ so should be able to get AHPRA reg and start work pretty quickly! But in the meanwhile I will be enjoying Perth with our 2 young children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

family4ready2go Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thank you and congratulations to you too. How is the organising going? We have our house up for sale now. Just trying to decide on a removal company, we have about half a container to ship over. Good luck with the visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
