    Hi, I also applied in July and was getting nowhere, had job offer etc, moved over to Sydney in October and once got here going to AHPRA office and dealing with it in person was what seemed to make the difference. I know not possible for everynone, but less easy to ignore you if you are sitting in their office! Nell

    We leave next tuesday, i'm a mixture of really excited and really terrified. Cant stop crying when say bye to people, and a constant dread i've forgotten something important to do before we go. Thank god for my endless lists, i wake up at 5am and add things like 'ring council tax to cancel'. Think just got to keep forcussed on the good things about going, and avoid drinking wine as that makes me especially weepy! Agree with previous post about remembering can keep in touch with people and can always come back!

    Hi, after months of uncertainty got an email off APHRA this morning saying once i take in my passport etc to a local office they will recommend registration. Does anyone know if that means for definate and they arent going to ask for more copies of other stuff i havent thought of or stuff already sent twice?? I'm hoping it does as we fly out on tuesday but scared to get too excited in case its just another step (although in the right direction!) Anyone had the same email?? Cheers Nell

    Hi, We used Seven Seas, £400 for 10 boxes, a bike and a guitar.....they left a couple of weeks ago, due in Sydney in November....here's hoping they arrive!

    Yes! I have ranted about AHPRA on several threads, finding the whole process very frustrating. We fly to Sydney in less than 3 weeks, have citizenship, had previous NSW registration, have job offer.....but cant get any idea about when registration likely, if want more documents etc. The uncertainty very difficult! Good luck all struggling with this! Nell

    Havent done this yet but have looked online to check out a few as we go in four weeks and worrying wont get everything in within the baggage allowance. I know theres a company called excess baggage, and we used seven seas for our shipping and i know they do this too

    Hi all, hoping for a bit of advice! We move over to Sydney in 4 weeks and have some holiday accommodation booked before hopefully renting something long term. Looking through the posts on here people seem to recommend having references ready for when go to viewings and was wondering who its best to have them from? Obviously if you'd rented before whoever you rented off woould be ideal, but we havent rented before, we've got a mortgage here and will be renting that out when we leave. So was thinking is it best to have general character references from an employer etc or try to get something more financial from bank or building society? Any help much appreciated! Nell

    We just sent uncertified copies of most things like bills, cards etc, but certified copies of official docs like passports etc

    Hi all, we fly out to Sydney in just over 4 weeks, shipping boxes leave on saturday! Have endless lists, and feeling very panicky aobut lots of things, but very excited too. We have accommodation arranged for first 2 weeks, no jobs and as yet no tennant for the house here which we cant sell so are renting hoping will pay mortgage! My other half very calm just thinks it will all work out!! I'm hoping by Christmas we'll have a home, jobs, be settled and all this will be a distant memory!! Nell

    Theres a bit of info on the website and when i phoned the company to order the shipping they told me to check the bike spotlessly clean, remove pedals and loosen handle bars.....after it goes on saturday will let you know if went ok!
  16. nellandged
    Thats good to hear, the bike is as clean as its ever been and i've even scrubbed the bottoms of all the shoes we packed!!
  17. nellandged
    Very interested in this too, we're using 7 Seas and are packed and ready for them to collect our 10 boxes, bike and guitar on saturday, so far they've been helpful and prompt, delivered boxes within 1 hour time slot, text us the day before to say when. Their quote was by far the cheapest we got....just hoping it all goes well at the other end!
  18. nellandged
    Thats the cost from this end, and theres a customs inspection fee at the other end of a couple of hundred dollars, cant remember the exact quote, got it written on one of my many lists somewhere!! We go on 11th Oct, so shipping now so hopefully stuff arrives in Nov, will let you know how we go on. Good luck with yours, when do you go?
  19. nellandged
    Its a large cardboard box, they give the dimensions on the websites

    We're using Seven Seas for 10 tea chests, a bike and a guitar, £400, been very good so far....have just finished packing boxes and they're coming back to take them this week

    Sounds familiar JoandJon, my OH thought my letter was hilarious and wanted to send it Mills and Boon for publication...it wasnt that over the top!!
  22. nellandged
    I'm an aussie citizen but nurse trained here, going back with my OH on defacto visa. I was registered in NSW in the past but let it lapse when moved back to UK, but had to reapply from start. When i've looked at jobs online all ask for reg number so thought needed it to apply, thats good to here can apply without! Thanks

    We did one each, mine was long and detailed, about 6 pages with lots of emotional stuff in it, his was bullet points, less than a page, just facts!!! Dont think theres a right or wrong way....good luck with it! Nell

    Our CO was JF, i think others that had him were pretty quick too. We emailed him at about 3 months to ask were up to and he told us would be issued early sept which would have been just over 4 months, then came through at 3 and a half. Flights now booked and leave 12th Oct! Hope you hear soon, good luck!

    We were end of April and granted 12th Aug, seems to vary from different C.O.'s, hope it comes soon!
