I am in Oz on a 457 visa and my work have agreed to sponsor me for the direct entry stream 186, my skills assessment was finalised last month wi ANMAC and my employer will have done the nomination this week. With midwives being removed from the CSOL from July, will that affect my application if I submit within the next 2 weeks?:wacko::wacko::wacko:

Hiya

we moved here 4 months ago and brought our newish lcd tv with us - works no problem with set top box, we also brought over a wooden statue that we bought in mexico years ago and that was also ok

Make sure you get a transcript of your training and also make sure that they put that your course was taught in English

Hiya Lizzie

I have been in Oz for 6 weeks now and I didnt use an agent - i did register with some nursing/midwifery agencies who offer all the help you need with the forms and registration for AHPRA etc saving you a lot of money that you will need later on - the forms arent over complicated - just very long winded, I printed a few copies of the forms off and did practise ones first.

Good luck

Sam

I can honestly say I have been sooooo lucky - my AHPRA was finalised within 2 weeks, my medical was finalised within the day, my 457 has just been granted - only 18 days after submitting it.................and I did it all myself. I am now packing up to head for Orange maternity hospital, NSW, does anyone work/live in Orange that want to befriend me???? We will hopefully be there on 1 May!!!!:wub:

I have a job offer for the Maternity hospital in Orange and will be moving in May 2013, medicals done, visa application in, I am coming over with my husband and my 15 year old daughter. I am looking for any info that will help our move like high schools, jobs for husband, best way to get to Orange from Sydney airport and any tips on transportation in the area. If anyone can offer anything at all, or if anyone is in a similar situation and wants to chat, please pm me:laugh:
