True VERYSTORMY..... i have a good job and a relatively small mortgage.....a very big gamble in my eyes

Personally I think it's a massive risk to give up everything and move to the otherwise of the world without having secured a job before I left........

Hi all, I land in Perth early hours of Boxing Day. Can anyone recommend a cheapish (I know prices will be higher due to the time of year) hotel or similar with a free pick up from the airport or somewhere not far from the airport as after nearly 25hours travelling all I'll wanna do is crash! Thanks for any info. I'll be in Perth for around 5 days so I'll probably stay in a couple of places...... :biggrin:

Thanks everyone......great comments will get searching!

Hi all, I'm using my New Year trip as a reccie to see which areas of Australia I like the feel of and have 3 days in Adelaide before getting the train to Melbourne then onward to Brisbane. I know the visits are brief; but what can you recommend that I see / do in Adelaide that will give me the best experience? Thanks for any comments and ideas! Alli x

Hi all, I fly into Perth at silly o'clock Boxing Day for 4 days before heading over to Sydney for NYE. I'm using this trip as a reccie to see which areas of Australia I feel I maybe able to settle in and am going to Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane too during my 3 week stay. I know the visits are brief; but what can you recommend that I see / do in Perth that will give me the best experience? Thanks for any comments and ideas! Alli x

Hi all, Just a query as in a quandry..... Have started gathering the docs to register with NZ Nursing council (IELTS complete; police checks done; transcript from NMC) but am going to Australia later in the year for a good look around as I have, for ages, been in two minds about which country to go for! If I do get NZ reg and then I decide on going to Oz instead, can I transfer it across? OR which is the easiest to get initially to then transfer under trans-tasman or whatever it is?? I've been reading that when you get Oz reg you have to present in person at an office to complete the process; this is something I could do on my visit I guess? Does that make sense? Any advice welcomed

Gotta make the most of it while you're there! I'm there 'only' 3 weeks so you could definitely fit it in!!!

Exciting! Im flying 24th dec and going to Perth, Sydney for new year, Adelaide, Melbourne then a week in Brisbane. A right wander about eh!!

Hi, mine came back in the post today. I had an email acknowledging the receipt of the application on Monday 12th saying the form arrived on the 8th. Very fast turnaround IMO.

OP..........unbelievable! Can't believe what I have read. Wrong on so many levels!

Thanks Ali, what's the Band 6 equivalent??

I've only myself to consider which in a way is worse as I haven't anyone pushing me along.........!

Same here.........one minute I want to go....next not!!!! Am quite comfortable here and can afford weekends away......good standard of living etc; and wonder whether to risk it by emigrating and having to start again and be more isolated than I am now!!!!

Go for it!!!!

That was totally uncalled for Mesmer.....people are giving support and advice on a public forum; well they're trying to!

Mesmer started a similar thread on the 6th and people repsonded with lots of ideas of support and advice......hope it gets better for you soon!

Here here Antrimlad!!

That's great to know Bruce7...thank you!

Thanks both; I'd be looking at a community school nurse post. Anyone else.....?

Hi, have been searching for info and reviews on Queensland Health as lots of jobs in my field are advertised regular. Anyone got experiences of working with them etc? Incidentally I found that QLD Health will be no more from July 2012... http://www.nursingreview.com.au/pages/section/article.php?s=Breaking+News&idArticle=22852 Will watch to see what happens....:huh:

Hi, I'm hoping to come on a 457. I'm like you; been in community for years. Keep checking out seek.com.au - that's where I see community jobs in my field. Might give you a look in.. Oh, and I'm sure community jobs are on the SOL lists so imagine they could be state sponsored.

Fab! Thats saved some pennies then!

Rachie27; is it also a modified skills assessment for 457? I'm a nurse too. I know full skills assessment is needed for PR.
