They don't care about that - plenty of occupations on there that have no actual shortage of people - the government gets the visa fees regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natandkev24 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've just got my invitation to apply for 189 visa today, I'm a dental hygienist! Does anybody know if this will affect my application? I'm doing the visa process without an agent, (to keep costs down) I'm guessing that because my application was prior to 1st July im still on the SOL? Any advise would be much appreciated ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochyloulou Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Bit of advice needed if anyone can help? I'm half way through my paediatric Nursing degree and the plan all being well is to come to Australia, at one point can you apply for visa's? Do I need to wait until I'm actually qualified to start the application? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to wait until I'm actually qualified to start the application? Thanks in advance! You can apply for a visa once you receive an invitation. To be invited, you need to submit an EOI and have evidence already in hand of meeting the criteria for at least 60 points plus a positive skills assessment. You can check the skills assessor's website what is required for a skills assessment, but completing your qualification would be mandatory. Many skills assessors require you to also have some post-qualification work experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahlouise06 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm a Copywriter (on the list) but alas, I cannot get the visa as I do not have a degree. So rubbish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameer Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi, I am a general accountant (NOC 2211) and planning to apply for Skill assessment, could you please advise if i will be able to clear skill assessment. Below are my additional details. Total Experience : 9 yrs IELTS : 8.5/7/7/6.6 (L/W/S/R) Qualifications : B.Com (Pass) + MBA (Finance) I believe I have covered all of the required subjects for 2211 NOC code but not sure if my IELTS score is sufficient to apply for Skill assessment? Any guidance will be highly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi Aisha, The sad reality is that the NT is a small place in terms of population and that they're just not going to approve you without some justification. Better to research the job market in Sydney or Melbourne where the employed population is about 100 times larger. Come over on a recce if you need to find an employer or consider retraining, as many do. Cheers, George Lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisha Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Thanks for your reply George. Well how about If I go for 489? What are the implications if I am not able to secure a job in 2 years? Regards, Aisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Lombard Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi Aisha, Many people do go for a 489 - ultimately you have to hope to find work but that's why you're coming anyway, I assume. Worth investigating whether there are DBA jobs in the NT. FWIW I think that the cloud would be more popular there than standalone data servers so you might want to show mastery of the appropriate technology given the isolation etc. Cheers, George Lombard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gardener Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 In nsw they are already restricting nursing jobs to Australian citizens.I have looked at 100 jobs over the last 2 months.They will not offer 457 sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also get nursing jobs as a permanent resident,you do not have to be a citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gardener Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 True, but you cannot get PR if you are over 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 True, but you cannot get PR if you are over 50. ,Maybe not on a skills visa, but being able to get a PR visa is totally different from being able to get a job once you are in Oz. I was commenting merely on the fact you said only citizens can get nursing jobs in NSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
