It is like the AM2, in a bay kind of scenario! However, getting your Vet sorted only gives you the visa as some states do not recognise! Once your visa is sorted you will need to apply to TRA to do ATRC (Australian Trade Recognition Certificate) a lengthy process, which requires proof of your work for past four years if serving apprenticeship or seven years without if other route ie Adult trainee, electrical improver etc etc.
It is like an in depth NVQ and you have to detail absolutely everything in a working electrical diary for dummies so to speak. You need good qualifications, as in 2360, 2330 2382, 2391 et al, being JIB registered won't hurt. They won't entertain you with the domestic installer qualification as it is not something they recognise at all. This can be done in England or Australia but if in England you must hold an Australian mailing address.
Once you have your ATRC you can then apply to Peer training, certainly in Adelaide to sit the wiring regulations, AN/NZS 3000:2007, which is a lot like 17th edition. If you pass get your results same day, which allows you to take to Business and consumer affairs to get your license which is unrestricted in SA (South Australia) I was lucky as had Aussie passport so just did small bridging course at Regency Tafe in Adelaide as did not have enough experience by about six months! Tafe were great and are there to help!
Electricians are on around 30 to 40 dollars a hours which equates to about 25 to 33 pound a hour, plus one RDO per month, which is a rostered day off fully paid!
If i think of anything else will add!!
