Did you go last Saturday to Newcastle ,have you heard from them yet mate
Scaffolders Needed in West Australia, NOW
- Thread starter celtic
- Start date
I was at it in Dublin last wednesday, havent heard anything yet, i think its goin to take at least 6 months. They told me that they pay between 32-34 dollars per hour and every scaff that works for them gets the same rate, but i have seen them on seek.au offering scaffs 35-40 p/h. So dont no whether to trust them,as my wife and kids will be coming with me, residencey will be important to us so i wouldnt like to get messed around. Thats if i get the job, best of luck pal might meet you down under.

i was told the same mate. i had an email last friday off nes asking for my c.v. again and a copy of all my certs. sent them straight away . ill be goin there on my own and the family following bout a year later. dont think it fair for me to be leavin them for 6 weeks at a time and her starting up on her own in a different country. plus will be able to save some brass up as well. good luck anyway
ya im thinkin the same its goin to be harder on them than me. We were thinkin of bringin them out for the next summer when the kids are off and seeing how they get on, its a big step to take with a family. Plus my missus hates insects and spiders and will freak when she sees the size of them down under haha.

Taking the family to oz
To all you lads thinking about moving to Oz with children I can only say one thing DO IT. Have recently returned from our reccie to WA, (we have been State Sponsored) and can only praise the place. What kid doesn't like to be able to play outside every day and be real close to a beach? The schools NOR are all fairly new and all have extensive grounds in which they are positioned. We took our kids (8 & 10) to 3 different ones and they just can't wait to get there for good.
You are right the jobs advertised on Seek do offer more $ ph, but I suppose that is part of the price to pay for being sponsored etc.

What are the chances of getting a job?
Though job prospects for scaffolders fell in 2010, opportunities are still very good for those who have an advanced scaffolding certificate.
Shortage of highly qualified scaffolders
The job of scaffolder (advanced) appears on Immigration New Zealand's immediate skill shortage list. New Zealand does not have enough scaffolders with the advanced qualifications needed to oversee scaffolding work, so the Government is actively encouraging highly skilled scaffolders from overseas to work in New Zealand.
Scaffolders fare better than most during building slump
Job numbers for scaffolders have remained steady over the past three years, despite a building slump that has affected many jobs in the industry. A severe shortage of people in the role prior to the recession has meant employers have tried to retain staff even during slow periods.
In March 2010, there were about 1,100 scaffolders, up from about 1,080 scaffolders in March 2007, according to Department of Labour estimates. During this same period employment across the building and construction industry fell by about 5%.
Job opportunities for scaffolders may become harder to find in 2011
Despite reasonable demand for scaffolders in 2010, opportunities have become harder to find and job numbers may fall in 2011. This is because of a drop in new building projects.The number of residential building consents issued in October 2010 was down 21% on October 2009 – to 1,123. This is about 45% lower than the 2,025 consents issued in October 2007, just prior to the building slump.
The value of non-residential building consents was $272 million in October 2010, down 17% on October 2009 and down by almost a third on 2007.
What types of employers can I work for?
Most scaffolders work for scaffolding companies. These range from businesses with just a few workers to nationwide companies that employ hundreds of staff.
Where can I do this job?
Scaffolders work throughout New Zealand. However, most are employed in:Auckland (32%)
Waikato (14%)
Wellington (12%)
Canterbury (12%).

how much does all the aussie traning cost? i've been looking at opportunities in australia recently but i'm not sure what the initial outlay would be to get a start on a decent contract. I've heard the cost of living is quite high and so is accomodation, anyone got any thoughts?

Yes its washable too.
Cost of living is astronomical, rents are sky high, fags are 16 quid for 40, and tax is 46%.
Weather is nice though!!!
