Hi Mark thanks for the response.

I’m also looking into trying to study a diploma in Australia. Would that be an option to boost my points further? I have heard that mature age students are often not granted a study visa or it can be very difficult to get one. I feel like studying there could be great as I could get into Australia as a student, make connections in the field and occupation whilst studying; boost my skills, get into the area; boost my scores and then potential have a better chance or perhaps a bridging course.

Is there anything else I can do other than switching my job. It’s a difficult time and not the best idea to switch jobs but I am quite open to it as I really want to improve my chances of getting in.

I’ve also done some calculations and with current 70points, and then state nomination I would be up to 85 points. So quite significant over the bare minimum of 65. Or so I am trying to hope.. lol
