Hi,

I am student in Scotland, going to be working for BP this summer and in the future really want to move to australia and continue working in the Oil and gas sector.

Would appreciate any advice on whats life is like in Perth, where is good to work and also how best to move. I went to an event about moving to australia and there seems to be a few options on how to get a visa, I was thinking of trying to get sponsorship through the Western australian govt?

Thanks,
Campbell

Hello Campbell,

I can suggest you to visit the Perth forum and even participate in the different discussions to have a brief notion of the life in Perth.
For the other details, hope the members will come back soon to you with some positive responses.

Regards,
Pravin.
