Hi,
I am looking for some project-type work along the lines of health & safety coordinator. I have been involved with H&S for a little while, but I'm relatively new. I plan to be in Australia for about a year on a working holiday visa. I am looking to start out in Melbourne. I have found some recruiters that specialize in health & safety (but they require a visa first, which is in process).

hi you're on the right track re recruiters they will be able to asssist with all the requirements for any positions here in oz, i can suggest some for you to enrol with because you achieved more exposure in the employment market and also good to compare packages, good luck and welcome to "oz" slang for australia:)

Hi, I would very much welcome your suggestions for recruiters to contact.
I understand that the job market might be getting tighter (it certainly is here) so I welcome any help. I'm starting out in Melbourne in May, and I also look forward to visiting Brisbane at some point. I look forward to going to Oz. Thanks for your help:) .

Hi Ozsherpa (Paul),
I am now in Oz, currently in Melbourne. I will be heading to Cairns next week, then to Brisbane after that. I should be in Brisbane in the second week of June. If you have time to connect to discuss health and safety, let me know.
