Working in Oz!

G'day Geeks!

Im thinking of spending a year in Australia, but I would want to have more of an idea of the beauty industry before I go. Does anyone know of any recruitment agencys or have any advice for me? I don't want to be another pome trying to get work! :smack:
Im a beauty therapist, love doing nails or would be interested to work for a large product range. Im looking to go to Sydney or Melbourne areas.

I think the question you really need to find the answer to first is are your qualifications recognised in australia,
we have loads of australian geeks who will know the answers :hug:

Ok I have a BTEC National Diploma in Beauty Therapy, I hope this is recognised???????

This question is asked fairly regularly, so if you do a search you'll find lots of past threads.

Australia's Premier Professional Beauty Association - The Association of Professional Aestheticians of Australia (APAA)
APFA - The Australian Association for Professional Nail Practitioners
