Cheryl,
I am an experienced Uk controller who is living in Australia. When I first enquired this time last year I was laughed at and told to go away until I had my
PR. ( I was lucky to get
PR through my partner) Now they are recruiting from overseas but for Sydney only. The situation changes all the time depending on need so if they knock you back now, it's worth keeping an eye out or checking back.
If it helps anyone, the recruitment process has been just as onerous for me as the new recruits. I had to do the tests and the interview and wait and wait and wait.....
