We know our first, second and third fix; our shuttering from our framing and formwork and our Cat’s Paw from our Ceiling Joist. Let’s Go! Global have an in house Carpenter Australia specialist with the skills and knowledge to make a successful Australia Visa application for you (and your family).

If you are a qualified Carpenter thinking about moving to Australia then you’re currently in luck because both carpenters and joiners are on schedule one on the Skilled Occupations List for Australia.

Having a schedule one occupation means you’re in the very top tier of skills that are in demand down under and, providing you can meet the criteria to emigrate you stand a good chance of securing a Permanent Residency Visa on either a 189 or 190 subclass.

As a quick guide in order to immigrate to Australia as a Carpenter / Joiner in 2017 / 2016 you’ll need to be able to score at least 60 points on the Australian Immigration Points test and also go through the Skills Assessment process for Carpenters or Joiners.

Carpenter Jobs in Australia & Jobs in Australia for Joiners
Carpenters and joiners migrating to Australia have good, solid employment prospects provided they’ve tackled the immigration process in the right way. You are currently in demand by employers right across Australia with an average potential of around $63 AUD ph.

The best time to start the initial carpenter Australia job search is after your OTSR at the same time your MARA agent lodges your Expression of Interest. This gives plenty of time to familiarize yourself with doing skype and phone based interviews and to practice your interview skills with an Australian twist.

In the current climate it is unlikely that carpenters or joiners will receive the golden ticket of an employer sponsored 457 visa whilst being based offshore (i.e. currently in a country other than Australia).

If you’re a carpenter or joiner with a criminal record you may still have options to emigrate to Australia. We can offer the best advice as to how to proceed with your Australia Visa application although we do need you to be completely transparent from the start. Remember, we work for you, not for Immigration and everything you tell us is covered by our rigorous client confidentiality.
