thanks,my missus is really worried bout this is there possibly a link/site/number i could give to her for verification(not that i dont take your word for it,just she wont take mine):)

well how do you think I am here?

look up www.immi.gov.au
that is the immigration website - a business visa (sponsored) is called a 457

aksherly Hussey the old Business Sponsership Visa was a bit different to the 457,the 457 is a lot easier to get

Dont expect a company to sponsor you unless you are particularly valuable to them, its a lot of work that a lot of companies couldnt be arsed doing. So find a good place early, and make yourself invaulable.

You can get a 2nd WHV visa by working in trade in rural parts of oz for 12 weeks ... could be another option

I cannot comment on how easy it is for trades to get sponsorship.

but the 457 is pretty easy to get

What happens if u get sponsored and quit your job? Do you get sent home or can ya just apply for a 2nd WHV or what is your options?
