Hi is any one doing or has done the MRAEL Electrical gap course for a Queensland electrical licence?  within the last year?  I've already emigrated and I'm carrying out the course but I'm finding the course assessor less than helpful.  On certain questions there is no guide to how complex the answer needs to be.  If anyone is doing it and wants to swap ideas re answers please feel free to message me

thanks

James

Hi

I have previous experience in working in car dealerships in the uk for Mercedes, Audi, and BMW and I would be looking to potentially explore this as an avenue of work in Australia. (I land next week)(also a qualified electrician) It states that I would need a motor trade sales licence which I have googled and found the application form from qld.gov, however I'm unclear if I would fall into the salesperson (broker) category or if I would need to sit some other exams (it lists ones that cover selling cars but also parts etc)

If anyone has made the move and now does this kind of work and has gone through this process I would welcome any advice.

Kind regards

James

We were granted our 189 visa today!! Direct Grant.

Good luck to everyone and hope you all hear very soon!!

We submitted for a 189 on 1/10/16. Front loaded medicals, police checks and forms 80 and 1221. I am so impatient - checking my emails already!

I think there is a glitch on immi site. There is a message on the home page after you log in to your immi account saying something like it will say incomplete but wont affect the medical process.

Hi Gene, you need to make sure that the course you do is the latest city and guilds course that includes an Nvq which would also include an AM2.

This will also issue you with a completion certificate.

This would then give you the correct qualifications to register as an electrician with the JIB.

The five week courses do not cover enough. It might teach you how to add a plug or an extra light fitting etc but it won't teach you about motor controls, transformers and all the electrical science you need.

Once you have this you need to have three years post qualifiying experience to apply for a skilled visa.

Then once you have done all of that you then do further training in OZ.

My my advice if your looking for a trade to get you to Oz don't choose the electrical one.

Thank you both

Hi,

We are planning to apply for a 189. I'm preparing my paperwork for ANMAC but unsure which ANZSCO code to use?

I'm a registered mental health nurse but didn't practice- I instead topped up to a degree (Health visiting) and have been a HV for 2 years. Therefore, do I use code RN (NEC) on the basis that HV's don't really exist in the same way in Australia or do I use RN child and family health?

thank you

I think the form signed in front of a JP should be fine....but someone in the know will be along to confirm I'm sure.....they sometimes ring parents to confirm it's them who have signed I think.

Ive just looked at my original contact order and it does state I need leave from the court to relocate the children. Looks like I will be completing the C100 after all. Im awaiting a call back from my solicitor I used during the last case to give me clarification. Im hoping that now he has finally said Yes - it will be a formality only.

Good news I think!!

My ex has now agreed to the children relocating to Australia both verbally and via an email. He has agreed to sign for 1229. He is in Scotland and will be getting a JP to certify his ID. Is there any specific wording needed for certifying?

We are also planning to have a statutory declaration drawn up - for my peace of mind if anything.

However, I've been trawling through past posts and threads on here and Im worried that 1229 and a stat declaration may not be enough.

There is a contact order in place (indirect contact only) and I have residence. Do I also have to have a court order even if my ex has signed the above mentioned forms?

Hi any help please

Ford Ranger 3.2 limited manual 15K miles current UK value £16K 63 plate

is it worth it? looking at going in a year so value probably around £14K then but mileage would only be 21K miles

interested in your thoughts

thanks

I'd imagine you should have minimum to zero issues being granted permission in this situation.... And I'd give you a big virtual hug if I could.... There are loads of past threads on such issues and the majority of people with children that age who want to go and the parent has shown that it's in their best interests are usually granted permission no problem xxx

Thank you!! It is just so frustrating... x

Hi all,

We have a dilemma regarding my ex partner not giving consent to my 14 and 17 year old to emigrate and I a) need to rant and b) need advice!

Some background; (sorry... its a long one...)

I left my ex in 2002 due to domestic abuse I experienced from him. Contact with the children then became erratic. There followed a CAFCASS report which recommended indirect contact between him and the children. an INDIRECT contact order was granted in 2008 stating indirect contact only , 3 times a year (Via MGM) and that he should not make any effort to locate us.

We have not heard from him since 2010. My children have not had any physical contact with him since xmas 2004. I tracked him down 3 months ago to ask him to sign form 1229. He dragged it out for over 10 weeks and refuses to sign. Both children have messaged him via Facebook and he still refuses stating he needs to see them face to face to judge if it is in their best interest!!!! Both the girls refuse to meet him. He's even had the cheek to deny all knowledge of a contact order or CAFCASS report.

We took legal advice and was advised to attempt mediation. The mediators met with him today and from all accounts he has played the charmer. They then met with the children separately . This is where it gets complicated.... They spent 90 minutes trying to convince the girls to meet with him to reconcile a relationship. I had to step in eventually to say it would not be appropriate. I even showed them the contact order, the CAFCASS report and 6 years worth of legal paperwork. It has been left that both children have to write a letter to him via the mediation service stating their reasons why they want to emigrate!

It all seems so unfair. The girls are angry and upset and don't want anything to do with him. I know my ex won't consent despite the girls writing as he has already implied in emails that he won't do it because its what 'I' want. It's a continuation of the emotional abuse and control I previously suffered.

At what point can I proceed to a court application? Has anyone had any experience of going through this where an existing contact order is in place??

It seems mad to me that we are being held to ransom by someone who hasn't bothered for over 10 years.

Im aware that my eldest is nearly 18 therefore consent won't be necessary but my 14 year old won't be 16 for nearly 2 years - we can't wait that long as want to move over next summer.

sorry for the long winded post - any help greatly appreciated....

Hi all,

Sorry to hijack the thread - but we are going through the same issues.

I have a 17 and 14 year old. Not seen Biological father since 2005. Contact order in place stating indirect contact only (i.e.; letters etc). My ex refuses to consent to me taking the children to Oz.

The children are meeting with the mediation service tomorrow afternoon. Any ideas what we can expect? I don't think for a second he'll change his mind though so we will probably have to go to court....

Hi @jamesandsarah

 

I'm still waiting to here anything from ANMAC and AHPRA, they have both asked for bits off additional information but nothing on section 8. I would struggle to evidence that, I've done a bit of rapid tranq training (I'm mental health trained) but I suppose I would have to ask the university to write a supporting letter as I help facilitate the meds management exams and I'm currently writing a journal article on student OSCEs.

 

I've heard from some people that a BSc in a health related subject is enough but I'm not getting my hopes up until I hear from AHPRA

 

I will keep you informed and good luck

Now you've survived AHPRA Am I right to assume they were satisfied with criteria 8 being met just by your diploma? Also, have you been granted supervision conditions with your registration or any notation?

Hi there there have been nurses on here who have obtained AHPRA registration with a dip/he and a degree in HV ( and community nursing as well) so shouldn't have any problems it's the same as if you had topped up diploma to degree .

in relation to visa you will also need a skills assessment by ANMAC the criteria are pretty much the same as for AHPRA , you can get your AHPRA registration first then get a modified skills assessment with ANMAC which I believe costs less.

in relation to claiming qualification points for visa I am no expert but I believe it requires that the degree you have ,be in or closely related to your nominated occupation which it certainly would seem to be ,but this is where a good MA will be able to clarify

make sure they are MARA registered

good luck

Thank you for your response. I think I have now found a MA I will continue with Now to revise for Ilets!

Thank you. Following your advice, I emailed go Matilda last night and they were able to offer lots of clarification. Like you, they cannot see an issue with claiming points for my degree.

My problem is I just can't stop trying to find out every little bit of info out there. My husband says the same as you - just submit the ahpra then you'll know! Lol

thanks once again for your help.

Thank you will look into them.

Can I just ask - as like myself, you are an original diploma nurse with subsequent degree - do you know if you will get the degree points or diploma points for your visa? I only ask because I've seen on a couple of threads and forums that in some cases people are only getting diploma points as original MH nursing was a diploma despite then getting a degree - if that makes sense? I think my paranoia is kicking in!...

Hi everyone,

I am seeking to apply (eventually) for a 189 visa as a nurse. I have been told by a migration agent that I can claim 5 points for 3 years work experience (as I work over 20 hours a week).

I qualified 3 years ago and worked 37.5 hours for 1 year and then 24 hours for the two subsequent years.

ANMAC however, state on their website that I need 3 years of FT equivalent experience. Do ANMAC have a different requirement in regards to what they class as FT?

Do they say FT is approx 37 hours or 20?? Im confused......

To confuse things even more... 1 of those years I was a student health visitor - so a training post, but received a band 5 wage and in effect was 'working' and utilising/maintaining my nursing PIN. Will I be able to count this year in work experience?

Hi all,

Can any nurses/midwives recommend a migration agent who they have used successfully. I have enquired to a few but have been worried about the possible lack of knowledge some of them have around the recent AHPRA changes. I am a diploma MH nurse with a degree in health visiting so appear to be a tad unique (!) I am looking to apply for 189 and our situation is complex so I feel a good agent may be the way forward. Any positive testimonials from anyone who have been helped through the ahpra and anmac maze would be be great :cute:

Just to give you an update I have received email from APHRA this morning and its good news, they have accepted my application and given me 12 months to present with my proof of identity so happy

Congratulations, that's great news!

Hi, to do the modifed assessment you need to visit Australia or be in Australia before you can do this.

 

When you compelte your AHPRA registration if you do not have an active visa in your passport (tourist is ok I beleive) then they will not put you on the register, and thus you can not use the modified assesment. To get on the register once you have completed application you need to turn up at an AHPRA office to finalise the application, you have up to 12 mnoths to do this stage.

 

For this reason we went down the route of using me as an accountant for the visa as my partner was unable to get 7's in the IELTS due to dyslexia.

 

Regardless of this, I would start you AHPRA and ANMAC processes at the same time as they both take time, no need to do one before the other as they both need mostly the same documents.

Thank you for replying. Think I need to just get on with things - so booking ielts academic tonight....then ahpra/amnac

 

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

That's really useful info - thank you. My interest is in CP so I may be in for a challenge Im hoping if I could start in this role - it would be a door opener elsewhere...

Hi all,

I am at the start of this process...

I need 8's on ielts for points for 189 visa but for the purpose of AHPRA I can prove 5 years of taught english.

What with the frequent changes in ahpra - would I be better to apply for reg first then go for modified AMNAC assessment and sit the general ielts for visa points.

OR should I sit academic ielts (eek!) first , then go amnac and then ahpra... ????

Hi everyone,

 

I am a diploma MH nurse with a degree in specialist practice (health visiting). After a few (!) meltdowns I have clarified that I can seek registration with the degree.

My question is this; as an RMN - am I eligible to apply for child and family health nurse posts?? On job adverts it simply specifies RN?

Will I be restricted to just mental health jobs despite my HV qualification?

 

 

I have tried emailing various government health depts but haven't had any replies and AHPRA just reply with an automated generic email.

 

Is there anyone on here who work as child and family health nurse but are RMN's?

I am hoping to come over on PR to NSW - if there is anyone on here with any ideas of who I could contact for further guidance?

 

Any help greatly appreciated[/quote

Hi I am RGN dip he with HV degree, I am working as a child health nurse in Perth. The criteria here is registered nurse ( no branch specified) and post grad certificate in child health ( HV degree is more than adequate) perhaps make contact with named persons on job adverts such as this one for clarity. Just a word about your mental health role, you may want to pursue that as an alternative, health visiting role here ( not sure what it's like in NSW) is very limited and the role may not be as you expected. I personally find it very boring. Good luck

Thank you for this, thats really helpful - I will try contacting named contacts for further info. Can I ask why you find your role boring - I'm guessing there is a lot less autonomy?

I plan to keep my options open, but I love my HV role ... just not the UK lol.
