Immigration from UK
Hi,
A bit of background. My Dad lives in Australia and has done since I was 16. He is married to a born Australian and has citizenship, they live in Queensland. I visited on a Working Holiday visa when I was 21 and fell in love with Australia. The last 15 years, I have wanted to immigrate. I am estranged from my Mum and have been for several years and I am very close to my Dad, we speak daily.
For one reason or another, I have been unable to but now, myself and my partner are keen to make this happen and he very much is wanting to immigrate too. I am British born and he is South African born with British Naturalisation.
My job role is a Service Manager for an Independent Supported Living Service for adults with LD, Autism and Mental Health. I have over 10 years experience within the Disability and Aged Care sector and would be happy to essentially step down to enable us to move.
My partners job role is a Cyber Security Analyst, he works for a global company however, they do not have branches in Australia.
We do not have children, so there is only the 2 of us. I’m not sure the best route, whether it would be under his occupation or my own. With the visa changes for the Skills in Demand visa, I saw an opportunity within my partners job role but we really struggle to find visa sponsorship on the recruitment websites such as Seek and Indeed.
Any help/advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
