subject: Motor Mechanics Jobs in Australia [print this page] People from the UK who are thinking of migrating to Australia often have a better chance of getting quick approval if they have certain skills and training such as that of a motor mechanic. Motor mechanics jobs in Australia are very often hard to fill with local employees due to lack of training and in some cases mechanics in Australia do not want to settle in country towns where such jobs might be available.
Australia is such a vast continent and there are many mechanic jobs in some of the more isolated outback areas, but even in country towns and cities motor mechanics will find work. Mechanics jobs in Australia can be found in coastal cities, mountainous regions, small and larger country towns, in the tropics and in cold climate areas. So virtually anywhere that you could think of to settle, you would be able to find mechanic jobs in Australia.
Some smaller garages only employ two or three mechanics. This could suit those who find it hard to mix with large groups. The advantages of living in a small town are that nearly everyone knows each other and they all help out in times of hardship or sorrow. These employees might be expected to do other work such as pumping gas or serving behind the counter at times.
For those who are more comfortable in larger crowds, mechanics jobs in the city would be a good option. Some garages in the city employ lots of mechanics. Mechanics jobs are also available in bus companies, or with airplane companies. For young people to train as motor mechanics in Australia, they usually start TAFE training while they are still attending years 11 and 12 at high school. Their school schedule includes two days a week of TAFE and some hours of practical work.
