Hi there guys,

I have used this site before and always got some pretty good advice. I now have my skills assessment from anmc and have now submitted my form for the 175 independent visa. I now have a few dilemnas:

+ I do not know how to attatch evidence to my application how do I do this? Also as they require certified copies of documents do I send this by post, or can I attatch it to the application somehow? Not sure how to do this
+ They also ask for an electronic passport photo, how do I obtain this.

Any help would be appreciated I am lost at the moment as to how to further my application

Thanksx

Hi,

If you have lodged your application on-line you will receive a confirmation e-mail with a TRN number. You use this number to log into your application and then you can upload your documents to your application.
As long as the documents you are uploading have some colour on them you do not need them certifying. Only if they are black and White will you need them to be certified before you upload them.

Good luck :0) x

Dont bother applying for a Uk police check, I did and they didnt even want to see it out here. They're only interested in an Aussie Police Certicate which you can get by taking the form to the Post Office...same with Working with Children Check.

Hi All,
I have a telephone interview this week for a nursing post - I no details of the positions they are interviewing me for and have no idea what to expect. I'm hoping some of you will have been through phone interviews for positions and could offer me a bit of advice on what sort of questions to be prepared for.
Many thanks in advance
Tracey

can someone help!!!
My passport expires july 2012. i am almost (hopefully) at the end of 176 application, just awaiting to get pcc back. I know i have to renew my passport which i intended to do this week BUT i'm just wondering how that will effect my aphra application as that is just in limbo at present and still await any news how that is going!!!
Just worried that there will be some kind of hassle when i come to prove my identity with aphra.!!! Will i have to have the new passport certified and send them copY???
Has anyone had to change passport during application???

Hi all I'm Pauline and have just recently been offered a job at Westmeads Children's hospital Sydney, I've agreed to start work in March I am unsure how long the visa process may take is this possible or might it take longer than 5-6 months? Myself and my fella Lee are really excited and nervous about moving I've been rabbiting on about doing it for 10 years and finally pulled me finger out and got organised its seems very scary now as everything seems to be going very fast!
Great idea to meet other nurses in same boat!

Hi Pauline,
Great that you have a job at Westmead. I am a paediatric nurse looking at Adelaide or Melbourne, but if not, it is Westmead Hospital that I am looking at. Don't want to go until January 2013 though. What type of ward will you be working on? I wondered if you could tell me what your interview was like, what they wanted to know, etc? Tracey
