Visa charges for ENS?

Hi all,

I have been looking at the visa charges for moving over to Oz and I'm a little confussed (doesn't take much).
My wife had an interview over the phone the other night and was offered a job there and then with the PA hospital in Brisbane and they said that if we wanted to they would sponsor us. I know with sponsorship you could be tied to them for so long, but with it being with the Queensland Health Authority, you'd be able to move around within the Authority.
Getting to the point now! The immi website says the the ENS charge is $365. Is this all we pay? or do we still have to pay the 1st insallment of $1390 and then the second of $2860 as well as the $365 ? We are wanting to go on a PR visa and not a temporary one, which the immi says that you can be sponsored on a PR?
Any guidance would be much appreciated, as now things are really moving forward and we can almost smell the BBQ!

Hi Tuckers
We applied for our 121 ENS PR in May this year, My sponsor, WA DoH, put in the nomination in March 07 and paid their fee. We had to just pay one fee which was $1390.
Hope this helps. Good Luck with it all, we are finding the waiting really tough!
