Many WA companies are looking to the UK and Ireland for qualified workers because of the quality of education and training. While having qualifications are critical, all is not lost for those applicants that are skilled in their trade but yet hold no papers. As part of the visa process, we are assisting many people to obtain recognised Australian trade papers based on a detailed review of your references and by carrying out a practical assessment in your trade. We can then use these trade papers in the visa process. The fact that UK and Irish applicants speak English fluently and have a similar way of life to Australians is another factor that makes UK and Irish people very attractive to Australian employers. These factors help people settle in to a new life in Australia easily. Visafirst have noted that 70 percent of UK and Irish applicants currently applying for Australian visas are heading to Western Australia. The abundance of work in WA is the polar opposite to the 14 percent unemployment rate experienced in Ireland currently. We have Irish and UK people that are in Australia on working holiday visas contacting us looking for options on how to remain working in Australia”. With over 150,000 places to be filled within the next few years, Western Australia wants you by offering you a plethora of jobs, excellent housing, healthcare and educational facilities. To find out more information about working in Western Australia and to find out about your visa options, contact Declan Clune of Visafirst.com or visit www.visafirst.com.
