2. HI Mark,

   Is there any possibility for “ICT Business Development Manager”. I have 60 Points and can get 5 more points from State Sponsorship. I know currently no state is sponsoring this job role but can you just suggest which all states will open the sponsorship in July 2017 (As per the previous trends)

      *** indicates that, despite paragraphs 2, 5 and 6, for a nomination or visa application for a Subclass 457 visa or a Subclass 186 visa, the occupation excludes positions in Fast Food or Takeaway Food Service.
      **** indicates that Minister of Religion is specified as a skilled occupation only for the purposes of paragraph 2.72I(5)(ba) of the Regulations, and only in relation to an application for a Subclass 402 Training and Research visa. Minister of Religion is not specified as a skilled occupation in relation to any other visa subclass, despite paragraphs 2, 5, 6 and 8.

      With regards to the general skilled migration route. You need to lodge an Expression Of Interest. More info here: https://gettingdownunder.com/job-australian-sol-what-next/

23. Hello Mark,

    My name is Petra and I am from Croatia.
    I hold a Bachelor and a Master in Landscape Architecture, and recently a Master in Conservation Leadership at the University of Cambridge; which is a Master’s for conservation/environmnetal professionals with several years of relevant experience and provided me with an overall perspective in addressing the complex environmental global challenges.
    To sum up I have over 7 years of professional experience in nature conservation public sector
    and so my question is as my Master’s Degree in Landscape Architecture is nominated under the Australian Skilled Occupations List for 2016 -2017 but I have over 7 years of experience in conservation sector and a recent Master in Conservation Leadership under which occupational list should I apply…?

    Thank you kindly in advance.

    • Hi Petra, I guess it depends on where you have the most experience and skills.

      Probably the best way to think about it is if you were applying for a job in Croatia, what skills and experience would help you get the job first?

      This is probably the occupation you should use as a basis for nomination. :)

38. Hi Mark

    I’m an Australian citizen and my wife is an Bangladeshi citizen,

    currently I’m living in Bangladesh and waiting for our new born baby to delivery on next month who will be a Australian citizen by descent

    Problem is my wife still did not applied for her PR or tourist visa, After baby birth i will go back to Australia and start work but I want to take my baby and wife along with me because I dont feel safe for leave them in here and also its not possible for me to look after the baby myself while i’m working so in this case what visa should I apply for my wife so she can go with us to Australia and look after the baby

    I was wondering if there is any special circumtance for this? like she get 3/6 months visa than later she can apply her PR from Australia?

    Please kindly suggest me

    Thanks

    • Hi Shane, firstly I would double check on the Australian Citizenship by descent for your baby. Although the application process should be a straight forward one for your baby. I’m not sure if it would be as straight forward as you may suggest, even though you are a Aussie citizen.

      as for your wide, you will need to apply for a spouse visa/pr. As I understand it there are options for your wife to visit Australia for visits of the durations you have suggested.

      Visit here for more information on this visa class. https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/801- Lots of useful information here.

44. Hello! My Name is Vuk and my Surname is Vucurovic. I am 29 years old and I am from Belgrade, Serbia. I finished the Bachelor and Masters Degree at The Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Department for Road and Urban Traffic and Transport – Road Traffic Safety guidance. I have one and a half year of work experience. My first work experience was at 2013. in one Transport company, named “DUMBO Moving & Storage”, which is located in New York City, like a Dispatcher. I worked there for six months. Also, I worked in Belgrade, in one German company, its name “KUEHNE + NAGEL”, as Operator of the Service Center for Maritime Traffic and Transport. I spent there one year. Now, I am currently unemployed. I would like to apply for the position number 233215, Transport Engineer in Australia. So, I have a couple of questions: First; What is necessary to get a work visa for Australia? Second; Do you have a lot of open positions for Transport Engineer in Australia? Third; Is my work experience enough to get work visa for Australia? Fourth; Which level of English Language knowledge is necessary to get get a job in Australia? Fifth; Tell me, when is the first date when I can apply, and when is the deadline day for application? Please, in your answer, write me everything what is necessary for me to apply for job position Transport Engineer, because, maybe I forgot something to ask you. Thanks in advance.

    • Hi Ajay

      It’s always difficult to comment on your chances because it’s governed by both your circumstances / points and the circumstances / points of the other applicant who have registered an EOI.

      Critical ages for all skilled visas are : 29, 34, 39, 44 and final cut off date is age 49 and 364 days.
      For business skills visa applications – age 54 is critical!
      For retirement visas the main applicant must be age 55 +

      All the best

50. So, what would be my odds of finding a job in Australia?
    I have Masters degree in experimental biology, but I haven’t worked at any job position relevant to my occupation. I have only worked for a year and a half as a higschool professor of biology, so, no skill development for me here in Croatia. I have only finished some free on-line courses about bioinformatics since college.

    • Hi Zelika, firstly to be clear please note we are not the people offering this role. Getting Down Under simply provides advice for people looking to move to Australia (I launched this website after I moved to Australia myself 10 years ago) :)

      Can I suggest you identify the job title most likely to be a job you can easily demonstrate your experience in and we’ll take it from there. Please start a new post in our forums.

      • Dental Hygienists [411211]
      • Dental Prosthetists [411212]
      • dental Technicians [411213]
      • dental Therapists [411214]

      One of the conditions of the skilled Australian visa streams is that your occupation has to appear ON this list. I would note that the general ‘Dentist’ is still listed!

      Unless your in a position to apply and be approved before the end of June your options may be somewhat limited I’m afraid. To avoid any further questions being lost in our comments, please post in our forums. https://gettingdownunder.com/forums/

    My name is Milica and I come from Croatia. As I skimmed through the occupations you require, I simply cannot resist to ask you what are my chances to relocate to Australia considering that my degrees are a qualified pre school teacher and early child development and I also graduated Management in Rural Tourism and had a chance to participate in a project and developmental tourism plan. My specialties are creating new and enriching existing tourism products and in such way to contribute to rural development and particularly to sustainability and cultural heritage preservation. Destination management is also may field of interest because it is very important in tourism industry to know other destinations and their main products.

    Thank you for your time,
