Business Sponsorship to work in Australia
Hi,

I have recently moved to Australia and have found your website a valuable asset.

Originally on a working holiday visa whilst in Australia I have utilised the services of a management company, Ayers Management (www.ayers.com.au) to help find me a job through their skills board as well as assist in applying for business sponsorship.

I can now live and work in australia with a great contract on good money with tax advantages included.

Since your website says nothing about management companies as an option for working in australia I though I would mention this to you as a possibility to enhance your resources listings.

many thanks
Chris
