Sahara77

We have rented out our uk home for the last 18 months, and have had a similar experience to fifi69 with agents being useless but we have had n issues with our tenant.

It was a chilly 11oC in ballarat brrrrrrrr

That's not correct my husband got VIT registration while we were still in the Uk and has been teaching in Victoria for 18months without AITSL registration

Oops and yes it is 45 days teaching experience

Just as dmjg said VIT registration is hard work you need all original university transcriptions and certificates and references from all positions held, good luck

congratulations Losing faith

Husband is going was too expensive for the 5 of us !! He had been on the LFC season ticket waiting list for 15years and got offered one just before we came here 18months ago it was nearly the thing that stopped us from coming;0)

Congratulations

Congratulations both of you this gives me some hope

We have had our nomination approved today yippe nearly their !!!

My family ( me husband and 3 children) and I recently had ours at the Melbourne medibank centre, be prepared for a long wait !!!! They chest X-ray and blood test adults only they take height and weight measurements of all and urine samples (my 2 year old son didn't need to give a sample but my 5 year old and 9 year old did) and finally you see a doctor who listens to heart and chest and does reflex tests. Menstral blood can interfere with urine sample results so that is the reason for that statement. we didn't take and were not asked for any medical records the only things we took were birth certificates, passports and the forms you are asked to fill in by medibank. I hope this helps shout if you have any other questions.

We use direct line it's about £140 for the year
