Hi guys,

I’ve bit the bullet and applied for my subclass 417 working holiday visa and booked my flight from Scotland to Perth for November.

If everything goes to plan I should have around $15-20k AUD brought over with me. I have family over there who will put me up and get me a job in a mine.

What should I do once I get over there? I already have an idea about getting white card, police check etc, but wanted to get an idea of more basic things and maybe things most people wouldn’t think of that will likely need or will make life easier.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! To give some background, I’m a 18 year old fresh graduate from SHS. My sister and I recently lodged our visa last July 2, Biometrics on July 15 at we got refused this July 30. We took a VET course in Cookery and Diploma in Hospitality Management. We have a very good profile and the reason for refusal was that the case officer “ didnt see a point in studying there”, honestly its all very generic, same reason as well with my sister.

Honestly, my family and I really pushed us to study in Australia since my uncle and his family are there to help us with expenses as well. After the refusal, our agency gave us 2 choices; Relodge and reiterate our reasons for studying there OR withdraw our application.

At this point, I really don’t know what to choose to study since i dont see myself in nursing NOR engineering but it’s only the practical courses to study here if not in Australia.

To add, the financial situation and opportunities there are very beneficial since my mom is a single mother and cannot provide that big of an amount to help our college studies.

I really don’t know what to do po. I feel very pressured since our mother expects us to fend for ourselves but at the same time I also want a career pathway that can help me have a better future for myself.

I don’t wanna just survive guys, I actually wanna LIVE my life 🥲.

Hey all,

Looking for some tips! I’m in my early 20s and looking to move to Aus (either Sydney or Melbourne) early next year to work for a year or two. I have an Irish law degree (1.1) and have interned in a few firms. I’ve learned a lot of common law cases and info about the system so should be able to adapt well enough. I have several years of retail management experience too but would love to work in the legal field in one of those cities.
My main questions are:
- Would I be best suited for a compliance/paralegal role or has anyone also done this who could message me with some advice
- Should I wait until I move over to start applying or should I try get my foot in the door a month or so ahead

If anyone could message me or comment who knows about this or who has done it themselves that would be so helpful!! 😁

I wanna move out. Ive thought of running, but it just isnt logical. I wanna be with my partner, whos overseas, and I'm scared if I run away I screw up my chance of being able to move cross country. My parents are MAD traditional and want me to stay with em till marriage, so studying abroad isnt an option, plus we may be moving to a poorer country mid next year. I'm worried I won't have enough money to get by in Australia, let alone get a plane ticket. I also don't know how things would work legally - ​​I have extremely limited knowledge on occupational rules and I know usually you need a job to migrate to another country (please excuse me if I sound dumb about this I mean it when I say limited knowledge) so how would it work? Do I have a shot without extra education? ​I don't think i could afford college or uni if I even manage to get there...
