Hiya
Pretty much the same occupation and circumstances as you. I'm in Brisabane, and working, mainly board setting/External render work. But general builder. I moved here with the wife a few months ago. I've found work OK so far. Have a white card (CSCS) which you can do online and get sent to you in the UK. (one thing out of the way!) I work for a few local builders, which suits me whilst I settle. If you want to start up yourself you'll have to register which takes time but worth it later as you can only take on work up to $3000 without it.

Seems to be plenty of work here, and I've been offered work via friends and nieghbours of people I've worked for here. Everyone seems to have a few jobs they need doing.

If you want any on going help advice, well as little as I have!! Just PM me.

Good luck
