Marilise Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi,We are a family of four, children aged 8 and 11. We are in the process of making up our minds whether we should move to Aus or not. We have been on a couple of employment websites, the likes of SEEK, etc. Most of them has a oneliner at the bottom of each add, that you need to be a PR or have a work permit to apply. I thought this was the way to put your CV in the Aus market, am I going about the right way? Can someone please advice. It would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there is any ex-SAPS member now in the Aus police force, please reply. My husband is a D-Inspector and would really want to further his career in the police service, where do you apply, what do you need to do?ThanksMullers from Tshwane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olkabolka Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Welcome to the forum. Lots of people got sponsorships by contacting the employers/firms directly. I have no knowledge of the Police, but I'm sure somebody else might give you a better answer. Post your questions, and somewhere somebody might be able to answer.

Post your questions, and somewhere somebody might be able to answer.Hi,Unfortunatly you do need to be a citizen or have PR before you can apply. Its also quite complicated process which includes entrance exams, medicals, fitness tests, body mass index of 27.5.You need hold a Oz driving license and you need to complete a 1st aid course. You can apply up until the age of 55 so there is time -I think. There are quite a few Saffas in the Oz police and from other countries as well. Refer to www.britishexpats.com towards the bottom there is a police section where yopu can have loads of questions viewed and responded to. Also have a look at the respective state police websites ie: Victoria Police and they have good info on a career in the police. That being said, I am sure you partner is quite experienced being an inspector and his skills might be required so contact the forces directly and promote yourself that way. I know the western Australia force recently accepted transfers from the british Police so there is a possibility.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
