Chelle1812 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi. I want to move to Australia. (Queensland) I am 37 years old and have 2 dependants. I am a family support worker which is on the skills shortage but I don’t have the qualifications which makes it hard. What’s the best was for state sponsorship or how would I go about finding a job in Queensland that would sponsor me? thank you michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the best was for state sponsorship or how would I go about finding a job in Queensland that would sponsor me? I suggest you book a consultation with a good migration agent. The first consultation should be free. They won't give you a lot of detail, but they'll be able to tell you whether it's worth taking it further or not. Try Suncoast Migration or Go Matilda. I don't advise looking for employer sponsorship. Most employer sponsorship is just a temporary contract for 2 to 4 years. There is a chance that you might manage to apply for permanent residency after that, but it is only a "might" - there are lots of things that can go wrong. If it's a well-paid job and you've got a good buffer of savings, you can see it as an adventure - but you should budget on the basis that you'll have to move your family back to the UK at the end of the contract, because that's the most likely outcome. I know you want to go to Queensland, but you may have to take a longer-term view and start in one of the other states first. It may mean that you can't move to Queensland for several years, but at least you'll be in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
