hi Have you checked out the AAMT website, I am a massage therapist too but dont do it here, I was sponsored to come on my nursing qualifications so that is my main job but I would like to do more massage. Massage and complimentary therapies are big over here and I'm sure you would get work but as to wether you could get a sponsorship i;m not sure. QAcademy in Brisbane is also worth checking out, they teach massage therapies not just in QLD but also Sydney and Melbourne too I think, Good luck, hope you get something sorted soon,

Hi everyone.
its been a while since I've posted on here (but still silently browse) I need some advice and help please from accountants. My daughter in law is about to sit her CIMA exams next month (having passed all her other exams). Does anyone know how she goes about getting her qualifications assessed and verified in Australia. My son and daugher in law want to move here once she has taken her exams but not sure how to get her skills assessed. My son is about to leave the british army after 16 yrs service but has no formal qualifications which are needed here, so its all down to Kamila. (no pressure)
thanks in advance

Crikey what an epic task you have had. I basically sent them my certiicates and the UKNMC sent QLD a letter saying I was qualified and that was it. Poor you, I'm so glad I did it all before APHRA and the ILETS were brought in. Good luck with it all

Hi Jazz and welcome to PIO,
An agency will take the hassle out of the process for you but they do charge and to be honest though gathering all the info you need is a hastle its not too difficult to do it all yourself, I did so it cant be that hard lol. Your first step would be to google the hospitals in the area you want to migrate to and email them all asking about vacancies and thier sponsorship/relocation programme. Some areas of Australia are easier to get sponsorship than others so would it be possible for you to widen your search to other states or are you restricted to Western Australia. Also keep an eye open for any Australia Expo's that are coming to your area, they usually have a few nursing recruiting people there, that is how I got my job here in Brisbane. Once you have secured your job you will then need to register with the ANMC and from then on in your feet wont touch the ground till you get here lol.
Good luck with it all, it can be a long frustrating process and time consuming gathering all the necessary paperwork but it will be worth it in the end.
I'm sure there will be others along soon to expand on this info.

Dont know about NBV but in Queensland I just went into the office and paid my fees, got the new registration there and then. But everywhere is different, I would try emailing the NBV and asking.

Hi nicanday
you send the fee to uknmc with the form (they will send you this), its around £30. Fee to QNC is around £106, depends on the exchange rate. I think it is about $225. I've paid out so much I'm begining to lose track, what with medicals, police checks, postage etc. Hope this helps.

Hi Ali,
I'm going out on a 457 visa and getting registered with QNMC, they have'nt asked for a skills test, will I still have to have one when I get there, would hate to do all this and then find I fail a test.

if you haven't already found somewhere there is a holiday park called the nestle inn in Wynnum which might suit your need for a few weeks.
