A friend of mine had a rural job offer in place pending registration...General trained with diploma and several years experience, was turned down due to the diploma. She has been informed that she must do the bridging visa.

currently looking into the bridging course. I think they are 3 months. 1 of my colleagues has completed the bridging course in melbourne.

Hi Lisa,

We are currently on 457 visa. Cost depends on what type of school u send ur kids to and how old they are.

We initially tried the local high school, they wanted about $15,000 per yr up front payment. We shopped around and found that the private schools (catholic) are actually cheaper, and we pay in monthly instalments. It does vary depending on age. For high school it's roughly $500 per month for high school and for the primary school we pay roughly $400 per term for primary.

I would do research before hand. We are not catholic but were accepted, kids had to do an interview. The teaching is of a higher standard aswell.

Hope this helps

Paul

Apparently Brisbane is not so gd for nurses atm, not many jobs from what i've heard. NSW & WA are screaming out for nurses

Car is a must, we are rural and went 6 weeks without a car....thin it nearly killed the kids walking everywhere...public transport is poor and unreliable at best

Now that the heat is coming we couldn't survive without the car...
