Hi doubledumplings,

Welcome to the forum.

Have you checked out the sticky posts "PLEASE READ...." and "Thinking of emigrating" ? Those will point you in the right direction to get started.

Unfortunately as far as I'm aware working holidays are only for people aged 18 - 30 yrs old so your husband misses out on that one. So I'm not sure if there is a visa that will allow you to work here for a year - maybe one of the sponsored visas would do that....

Is there any particular reason why you want to work here for a year first - other than try out the country?

Regards,
Karen

yeh thats why just its a big move and we dont want to make th move and not be sure so thought if we go for year and see how it goes then we can make an informed choose but will more than likely stay for good.

thanks will do

Hi DoubleD,
has your husband tried for sponsorship? The 457 business class visa can last between 2 and 4 years. Construction workers are needed, so he might just be able to take this route.

Try out the expo's, the reps are excellent, i think. He may also try some of the job websites for oz, worth a go.
Good Luck
Jane
