UK to Australia

[tez92]

Hello All, just after some advise on where to start to migrate down under?
And general questions about it;
- is it hard to secure a job there without having to actually meet for an interview?
- under what circumstances will Australia NOT let you in for?
- is it worth paying a specific recruiter to do it all for me i.e land interviews/jobs, get you accomodation sorted ect...
- should I go for a few months and then organise for the family to come...

Any advice is good advice, open to all.
Thank you in advance!

It might help if you told us what exactly you do for a living.

Going by the media applying for political asylum will get you a home and benefit real quick. Other than that depending on what skills you have getting a job won't be a problem but housing is crazy expensive and hard to find. Keeping away from the major cities is an advantage.
https://au.seek.com/jobs/in-All-Brisbane-QLD covers the country so pick a location and try. Also check out things like medical assistance because it's not available to new arrivals until a qualifying period is done. Australia House in England should have all the requirements you need as far as bureaucrats are concerned.
37yrs I arrived here and and got permanent residency, no job no permanent address and went to work 2 days later. But alot has changed since then.

Thank you, appreciate your insight and time to reply mate. I was thinking of going WA as I'm thinking it wouldn't be as expensive there and there is plenty of jobs in plant maintenance/plant engineering going there

Because of the distances WA can be expensive. You need to understand that the drive from Perth to Karratha is a 4 day trip. In the UK you'd have your feet wet for 3 days trying to drive there.
