Question

I am an electrician goin to sydney on a 1 year working visa. will i have to do a test to work there?

Answer 1

Am not an electrician but have travelled overseas and the electric plugs we used OS are different to ours.Check with your Union , Trade Association or Consulate as to the requirements in Aussie. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Yes and you also need all your original paperwork stating you are certified then they will issue you with an Australian Trade Certicate... my cousin has just moved over and it took months for him to get his paperwork in order to get a job as an electrician. You will also need to present letters from your employer to Immigration every so often for them to review your working visa status.

Answer 3

I'd contact a company like Skilled Engineering for better info.  they are a labour hire company here is oz and they will know better than anyone what the requirements are.
