Jordr Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hi I work in the uk as a gas engineer and me and my partner and little one are thinking of making the move to Sydney Australia. How easy is it to work in this field once in Aus will I need to retake exams etc? What are wages like? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Think twice about Sydney. Housing is horrendously expensive, double what it costs in some other parts of Australia- and yet wages are no higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordr Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Probably looking more towards central coast to be honest, we did notice house prices are pretty crazy in the Sydney area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Newcastle ha better job opportunities than the central coast and better lifestyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 You will need to obtain a NSW license and will need to research this. It varies a bit by state, but as a general guide, you will need to work as a trade assistant for a year (a bit like an apprentice) and undertake some college courses at TAFE. You do need to budget for this as courses can be expensive and you will be on a reduced salary. Also, licensed trades are some of the more complex skills assessments, so I would strongly recommend you use a registered migration agent.
