Hi please can anybody help?!?! i am fairly new to Australia and seem to have bought a 'lemon'!! i am looking for a reliable, honest mechanic that will be able to help get me back on the road! my car currently is unable to move so they would need to try to fix at its current location or have a tow truck - or I can try to arrange a tow?? many thanks for reading the post and in anticipation of your help (In case it makes a difference - the Car is parked in Logan QLD , I live Gold Coast)

Wow! That is fantastic news!! So pleased for you! When did you lodge and what team have you been allocated??

Thank you

Hi, How did you get your HAP ID? Did you bypass the message that advises to wait till a CO is assigned?? if so, will also book my medicals

Hi, just a quick question about medicals / police checks. when I clicked the link for medicals to get my HAP ID, a message popped up to say not to do this until a CO has been assigned and was only for those who had not yet submitted a visa application as it could slow the process down?? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?? should I just carry on regardless, as so many others seem to have uploaded their checks whilst waiting for a CO. Just really don't want to prolong this agonising wait! many thanks in advance of your help

I've got to say, the posts on here are very short sighted!! Parents can be an added bonus to families living in Australia - helping out with child care, enabling their own children to go out to work to help boost the Australian economy. Lets be honest, it's not an 'easy' country to get into (and rightly so) but we have been granted visas on Australians needs to 'fill in' the gaps in their employment. By having supportive parents can allow people to work and give back into Australia. I would hardly call it a 'loop hole' - it's a shame that you people aren't as fortunate as others to have strong, close family ties where parents play an active role in their children and grandchildrens lives! As for 'dragging' them over - how ridiculous! Is it so hard to believe that families all want a better life, to be all together and are willing to work, and support each other?? Hopefully at some stage in your lives your own children will want YOU to be apart of their lives and would move heaven and earth to be apart of it! Even if that means moving to the other side of the world! I think the Australian government and you people should wake up and realise the benefits of parent visas and stop focusing on the negatives! It should not cost a ridiculous amount of money to get there! As they are worth their weight in gold once they arrive!!
