if ur thinking of just immigrating..ull need to get ur skills assessed thru TRA
(trade recognition australia)

Dont bother getting urself ripped off thru these other companies like http://www.downundertradies.com/ Its a lot cheaper if u applied for a visa on ur own and get ur own white card
Also Vic Uni is the Melbourne University that runs a lot of courses to help u become an A grade Electrician (the link is just a typical job advert outlining skills required for working in the mines...

Notice the health and safety crap? you'll need that ...

We have this college called TAFE (pronounced tay-ff) you will find that the courses are alot cheaper here then if u were to use someone like downundertradies or a company that do their own HS courses...

i think thats it basically..

oh and as soon as u land .....crack open a tooheys extra dry for me... ull love it
and no we Do Not Drink Fosters.. we sold it to you guys coz it taste like camels p*ss and u bought it ALL... ha! jokes on u blokes just like how u guys play at the ashes..

regards,
nick
