Community Worker

[torioc]

Hi i'm currently studying a HNC in order to gain the required qualifications for 489 visa, my sister is a perm resident and has lived in Adelaide for 10 years.  i will be qualified in May

I have 7 years experience (in the last 10 years) as a community worker in the UK, but i'm wondering how recent this experience needs to be as for the past year 'ive been working part time less than 20 hours a week, before this i always worked 38 hours a week. 

Also how do they assess your level of English? is there a test i can do now in preparation before i apply that wont expire?

 

Thank you in advance

Hello and welcome. I'm really not up on the 489, sorry.

If you don't get replies here, you may well want to post and ask in our Visa section on Poms in Oz. Its busier and has more people in the know about the process for this one.
