I’m a child health nurse in WA and the service is currently investing and expanding their camhs service. yes people can look up jobs in each state for specific opportunities. The main reason UK candidates are unsuccessful with their applications and don’t receive a reply is because they don’t understand the format for addressing selection criteria, I speak from previous experience.

Hi RubyMonday I'm not part of the recruiting I saw this advertised, was just posting for anyone looking for opportunities

Offering generous initiatives to support international and interstate recruitment and expedite employment for critical workforce shortages if you chose to move to Western Australia. This includes travel exemptions and financial incentives for eligible international and interstate applicants to cover flight and relocation costs. See advert below: Clinical Nurse Specialist Pool - Acute Care and Response Team (jobs.wa.gov.au)

The recommendations in the Final Report aim to increase the number of health practitioners registered in Australia while ensuring that these practitioners continue to meet Australia’s stringent safety standards. The reforms are expected to save overseas health practitioners, employers and the community time and money and bring Australia’s regulatory system into line with comparable jurisdictions like Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

greatly appreciated thank you

Can anyone give any personal recommendations please. Perth NOR

Are you adult branch? Some areas i.e paeds, Ld are being registered with diplomas, but not adult, some people are topping up online. Courses run through university of Chester

I can relate to some of your feelings/guilt around "leaving" them, we have 3 adult children in the UK. 1 is coming to Australia this year. I think if they had left us, gone to Uni, travelling etc, i wouldn't have felt like this. However, I have started to change the way that I think about it, since 2 recently came to visit for 3 fantastic weeks. They do not feel that we have "left them", and find this quite amusing. They are happy that we are where we want to be. The time that we spent together was, far more than we could have done in the UK. They can contact us for the things that they need us for, which is very little to be honest. I think that this is the inevitable part of life when your children become independent adults, and you gradually let go.

I'm in the honest camp with you, though it also know some people who have not informed them either. As others have said, it may catch up with them in the end,

Yes, I have done that now, thanks

That was why I waited so long apparently, I needed to wait for someone who was experienced in giving advice on that particular visa?!

Thanks, looks like I waited 1.5 hrs to receive duff info, I specifically asked the 2 year question and was told that the criteria was to be settled, no timescale given!

In relation to the 2 years being resident before sponsoring family, I had a lengthy conversation with DIBP yesterday around sponsorship for my daughter. This is not specified, the criteria is that you are settled as per the section on form 40 Who can sponsor? A sponsor for applicants applying for a Parent category visa,Contributory Parent category visa, Aged Dependent Relativevisa, Remaining Relative visa or Carer visa, must be: aged 18 years or over; and an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or aneligible New Zealand citizen; and a relative of the applicant or if specified in the eligibilitycriteria for the relevant visa class, a cohabiting partner ofthe relative of the applicant; and be settled and resident in Australia at the time theapplication is lodged.

I should add on a positive note ( the only one) the salary is good!:smile:

yes, loss of autonomy has been difficult, some practice out of date, no multi agency working, cp frustrating, and quite frankly alarming, the list is endless, I just do primary visit, and scheduled developmental assessments and that's about it. Might suit some people though... Not me I'm afraid

You might also want to consider roles where you can combine your RMN whilst working with children, such as http://headspace.org.au

Legal requirement to fence pools deeper than 300mm including inflatable pools WA 5c is lowest denomination so expect rounding up or down when paying cash australian magpies can swoop during the Sep- Nov time and can cause nasty injuries beware at roundabouts both lanes can go straight ahead indicator on opposite side of steering wheel, was turning the wipers on for weeks double points and fines for speeding on public holidays in W A not sure about elsewhere dont expect a fast response or sometimes any response to job applications or interview feedback, it's also common for potential employers to ask for references before they make a job offer vast majority of homes have built in wardrobes don't bother shipping freestanding ones dont throw away your winter clothes, it does feel cold in winter, even in Perth!

Long time reader, first time poster, 10 years in oz, and never felt the need to contribute anything to this forum previously? Perhaps to offer some support, advice to others? Thanks for sharing your first post and hopefully your last.
