Bring your trade across the Tasman to a town worth moving to.
If you are a qualified New Zealand electrician weighing up a move to Australia, give this two minutes. Your licence transfers, the move is easier than you would think, and Mildura is a genuinely good place to land.
Your New Zealand licence comes with you
This is the part most Kiwi sparkies get wrong. You do not start again.
Under Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition, a qualified New Zealand electrician can have their registration recognised in Victoria. You apply to Energy Safe Victoria, the state electrical regulator, for the equivalent Victorian licence. You do not re-sit your trade qualification. It is paperwork, not a course.
Energy Safe Victoria confirms the detail for your situation. We have helped people through this before. We will walk you through the forms, the timing and who to talk to, so you are not sorting it out alone in a new country.
We help you land, not just hire you
A move across the Tasman is a big call. We do not leave you to it.
A sign-on bonus
Paid when you start, to take the sting out of the move. An international move costs money. This helps with it.
A stay-on bonus
Paid once you have settled in and stayed on. A move across the Tasman is a big call. We back the people who back us.
Local help with the move
We live here. We will help you find a rental, get set up, sort the practical bits, and point you at the good schools, the good streets and the good spots.
A job to land into
You are not arriving on spec and hoping it works out. There is real work and a real team waiting for you.
We keep the bonus figures off the page on purpose. You will hear real numbers when we talk.
Why Mildura is worth the move
Mildura is a regional city on the Murray River in Victoria's north-west. It is not a stopgap. People move here and they stay.
On the Murray
The river runs through everything here. Boating, fishing, skiing, swimming, long evenings on the water. Weekends look different in Mildura.
Sun and food
One of the sunniest corners of Victoria, and the heart of the Sunraysia food and wine region. Citrus, almonds, table grapes, local wineries, and a genuinely good food scene for a regional city.
Adventure on the doorstep
National parks, the outback, the river red gums, Mungo. If you like getting out and exploring, this is a good base to do it from.
A life you can afford
Housing, space, a backyard, a short drive to work. The cost of living and the pace of life are a long way from a big-city grind.
Real work, done properly
Next Electrical Solutions runs healthcare-grade jobs at Mildura Base Hospital, electrical maintenance across SuniTAFE and the Mildura Workers Club, and airside work at Mildura Airport. Domestic through to industrial. A planned week, a stocked vehicle, tickets and training paid, real pay. The same standard you would want to put your name to.
How the move works
A chat
Call or video call. No CV needed to start. You ask everything you want to know about the job, the town and the move.
The licence
We help you get your New Zealand registration recognised by Energy Safe Victoria. Sorted before you fly, not after you land.
The offer and the plan
A written offer with the bonuses spelled out, plus a real plan for the move and where you will live.
You land and start
You arrive with a job, a team, and a hand getting set up. Not on your own in a new country.
Questions before you make the call
Do I need a visa to work in Australia?
If you are a New Zealand citizen, no. New Zealand citizens are granted a Special Category Visa on arrival, which lets you live and work in Australia. If you are a New Zealand resident but not a citizen, your situation is different and we can talk it through.
Will my New Zealand licence work in Victoria?
Yes, through Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition. You apply to Energy Safe Victoria, the state regulator, for the equivalent Victorian licence. You do not re-sit your trade qualification. We help you through the paperwork.
How long does the licence take?
It varies, and Energy Safe Victoria confirms the timing for your situation. We help you start the process early so it is sorted before you move.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Mildura is a good place to raise a family, and we will help you find the right area and the right schools.
What about my tools and tickets?
Bring your hand tools and battery tools. We sort the rest, and we pay for any Australian tickets you need.
When could I start?
That depends on your licence timing and your move. Have the chat first and we will map it out together.
What is the pay like?
Real pay for a real A-grade, matched to your experience and your tickets. We talk real numbers when we talk. No games.
