As others have told you, the 45 days of supervised teaching practice needs to have been during your PGCE and no amount of work experience after that can be substituted. Are you aware that if you come to Australia on a Visitor visa, you can lodge a Partner visa application onshore and will be granted a Bridging visa that will allow you to stay in Australia (with unrestricted work rights) until a decision is reached on your application? Processing time for onshore Partner visas is currently 12-15 months but given that you can work without restrictions while you wait, that's shouldn't be too much of a problem. The BV won't take effect until your Visitor visa expires but that will only be 3 months if you get an eVisitor. Currently, onshore Partner visas are considerably more expensive than offshore ($6865 vs $4630) but from 1 July, the offshore will rise to be the same as onshore. If you go the onshore Partner visa route, you won't need AITSL skills assessment and will only need to meet the registration requirements of the state in which you want to teach. I understand that some state requirements are easier to meet than those of AITSL. If your intended state is one of the 'easier' ones, that could be the way to go if you don't have the 45 days.

@Arry has stated that it's an offshore application so no Bridging visa would have been granted.

Sorry, can't tell you any more than the info in the link I included in my post. Did you read that? It has much more than the small section I posted.

It doesn't really mean anything. A number of enhancements were introduced to ImmiAccount on 17 April 2015. [h=2]General enhancements [/h] The following general enhancements were introduced. [h=3]New application statuses[/h] The status of In Progress has been retired and three new statuses introduced. Application Received – indicating your application has been successfully submitted and will be assessed within advertised application processing timeframes. Information Requested – indicating an immigration officer has assessed the application and found that more information is required, so they have requested that you provide further evidence in support of the application. Assessment in Progress – You have provided all the requested information. We might proceed to make a decision on your application. We could also ask you for further information. In this case, the status will return to Information requested. http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/resources/immiaccount-enhancements/

Provided your new partner can meet the requirements to be considered as your de facto partner (i.e. if they meet the One-year Relationship requirement or are eligible for an exemption from it), you can sponsor them for a Partner visa even if you are still married to someone else. If however you also sponsored your previous partner for a Partner visa, you may not be eligible to be a sponsor if the previous sponsorship was less than 5 years ago. http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/35relationship.htm One-Year Relationship Requirement for De Facto Partners http://www.immi.gov.au/forms/Documents/1127.pdf Partner Migration booklet. See page 16 'Limitations on sponsorship. If you have previously sponsored a partner or been sponsored as a partner'

It depends on why they were refused. If they were not eligible to be included (e.g. didn't meet the requirements to be eligible to be included as a partner), they are simply removed from the application and the rest of the processing proceeds. If they are eligible to be included but fail the medical or character requirements, all applicants will be refused.

Any other hairdressers out there applying for vetassess?

Any eligible regional area is OK under the conditions currently attached to 489s. It's probably only a matter of time until holders are restricted to regional areas in the sponsoring state but that hasn't happened yet. -
You can have your medical in Australia if you wish. There is no requirement for a 187 to be granted offshore but if you will be travelling to Australia during processing, you should make sure your CO can contact you reliably and knows your travel dates so that the visa can be validated correctly if it is granted while you are here.

Each subclass of visa is processed separately by different Case Officers/teams. The following lists the processing time standards for each visa subclass but be aware that times are only the standards they try to achieve and are not in any way guaranteed. http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-charter/visas/8.0.htm

You do not get a refund if your application is refused OR if you withdraw your application. Once you pay the Visa Application Charge to DIBP, that's the end of it.

Only the ACT and WA have a public holiday today. Parramatta is in NSW.

The highlighted parts are not how it works. On a 489, you can only live and work in an eligible regional area but it can be in any occupation. When it comes to applying for an 887 permanent visa, you must have lived in an eligible regional area for 2 years and worked full time (or part time in more than one job for the equivalent of full time) but again, the work can be in any occupation. -
If by 'invite them to Australia', you mean to invite them to visit you temporarily on a subclass 600 visa, they will each need a separate visa application. http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/600.aspx 600 Visitor visa If you're talking about sponsoring them for Parent visas to live permanently in Australia, both parents are included on the same application; one as the primary applicant and the other as a secondary applicant.

Personal statements from friends and family need to be witnessed but no documents need to be certified if you will be uploading colour scans of originals. You should also note the following which was sent to a Partner visa applicant by their CO: How Should I Put My Application Together? Please do not make complex collations of your application papers. We waste a lot of time (and risk injury to life and limb) deconstructing applications which have been extensively stapled or artfully put together in complex folders with indexes, dividers and tabs. Do not use plastic inserts. Please leave the papers, loosely divided by slide-on paper clips if you feel it is absolutely necessary, in a simple stack. Application form on the top; sponsorship form next; key personal documents next (birth and marriage certificates etc); formal statutory declarations next; and other supporting documents last. Please do not send us video tapes or photograph albums. If you would like to support your claims with photographs, please choose a representative selection and make a photocopy. Please do not send us phone cards at all as they can tell us nothing. If you wish to send examples of correspondence, please be very selective and send copies only.
