Doing a decent job pffffftt, the guy is an absolute joke. His whole handling of the Brittney Higgins situation and his general disdain for females says it all.  These Libs are a shower of scum bags and to back them and suggest they are doing a good job is "Tory" behaviour.  Absolutely laughable Morrison is doing a good job

Hi Guys, as the topic title says UK plumber looking for work in Perth, preferably south of the river. I'm willing to turn my hand to any graft and i'm not shy of hard work. Thanks in advance 

Hi Guys, just a question regarding car insurance in oz and more importantly your no claims. Can i use my no claims bonus when i apply for car insurance in Australia. Cheers Ned

Hi Guys, i know there's info on the site about shipping power tools but the movecube comes in a few weeks and i'm stumped. The paper work from movecube states no batteries so i dont want to mess up. Any advice would be appreciated as i have  various cordless tools all powered by lithium batteries?????

Hi Guys, how in depth does the items list need to be for your movecube?? Do i need to count and list the amount of photo's/dvd's that are in each box, are customs going to be that strict. Cheers Ned

Yes that should be absolutely fine.

Pens are expensive here so it’s a good move to bring them with you if you have the room.
A lot of people use the security panels for pens they cost around $45 a panel but a dachshund can chew threw them so anything else has no chance. Bunnings sell panels for around $89 each https://www.bunnings.com.au/rapidmesh-1-2m-x-1-8m-modular-pet-enclosure-panel_p3440260 and I think the doors are $130, they are ok as you can make them as long or wide as you want. 
‘How many dogs are you bringing? Don’t forget to keep an eye on all these new guidelines/rules and regs 

Thanks for the info PQ, i'm not bringing any dogs. Our old terrier is staying with my son, she's knocking on now.

Hi Guys, I'm hoping to ship my dog pens in our container. Would i just follow the usual plan for metal items and scrub/jet wash, then jeyes fluid?

It can take more than 6 months. If possible, lodge onshore and lodge the visa application at the same time. Your wife could work for the employer on her bridging visa while the 186 is being processed.

Alternatively, the employer could sponsor your wife for a 482 to get her here faster. Nominations in the Short Term stream are taking around 49 days, and nominations in the Medium Long Term stream are taking around 38 days. Midwife 254111 is on the MLTSSL.

Thanks for the information lisa, sadly my wife is 44 so the 482 is out of the question. Would you recommend we lodge the visa application at the same time as the nomination. Is there not a risk of losing out?? We are pushed for time . Thanks 

Hi guys, just a quick question about the nomination process. A healthcare provider has agreed to sponsor my wife for a 186 visa. How long is the nomination process likely to take. Thanks in advance 

Yes 20 is needed for 189 so she's booking the test as we speak.

Your welcome. Did you need the full 20?

 

Thanks chickbock

Hi Guys

Just a quick question regarding my wife's ielts score which she received today. She took the academic test and scored L9,R7,W7 and S8-5 with the overall band being 8. My question is this enough to gain the 20 points for 189 visa purposes. Thanks in advance Ned

No. The age cut off for sponsored pr is 45.

Thanks for the reply verystormy.

Hi Guys, just a quick question if i may with regards to the New(457). If an applicant applies when they are 44 and they complete the 3 years of the mid/long term option. Will they be eligible to transition to permanent residency. cheers Ned

The requirements are for when you trained, because at the top of the page for professional requirements for a midwife it mentions about your length of programme. Its not professional experience as such its your practical experience whilst training. I think AHPRA have worded it wrong (not like ahpra). Your clinical records file should have all the info needed for criteria 5. Cheers ned

I wouldnt be doing any bridging/iron courses, do you not think that topping up to degree would be better and cheaper. Its $10,000 for the iron course which equates to roughly £5500. CPD Modules come in at £500-£700 and your dissertation £1250 ish depending on the university. So if you had a Dip He and had accrued 240 credits you would be looking at 4 modules and a dissertation. That would be a potential cost of £3250 or worst case £4050 and if you already had extra credits the cost would be less. If it were me or rather my good lady who is a Midwife waiting on the glorious organisation that is AHPRA, well i would spend my £££££ in blighty. I wouldnt put anymore hard earned cash in to the Australian coffers. cheers Ned

How rude! Perhaps a few pommy nurses with diplomas with attitudes towards Australian nurses with ttelling them their Bachelor of Nursing was less than the UK Dip HE and they were shite at nursing started this all off in the first place like this. Dam colonists.

Makes me ashamed.

It was a tad out of order what was said but I feel it was just frustration. Ceridwyn you seem to troll the nursing section of sites chipping away with bitterness towards the nmc. Poms on here would be less critical of ahpra if they were up front. They are quick to take our dosh and even quicker to nudge them goal posts further out of reach. Cheers ned

If i were you i would hang the latch and wait for a positive assessment of a Dip He trained nurse. Ahpra will gladly take your hard earned reddies, but i feel it may be a waste of money on your part. cheers Ned

Well guys its "Squeeky bum time" i do hope there are some success stories real soon. My good lady is in the Dip He boat who else is paddling up Sh-t creek with her:cry: seems there are quite a few. cheers Ned

I would like to know how the years of work experience are worked out for the ANMAC skills assessment. What constitutes a full years experience ie number of hours. cheers Ned

I was just wondering if there was any news on visa fee increases. I was on the government website using the visa estimator tool and i put my dates in for august 2014. I wasn't able to get a price but when i put in this weeks date i was given a price. I think its around july time when changes are made, I hope the folk at DIBP aren't planning another eye watering increase like last years. cheers Ned

I cant see the folk at AHPRA doing anything that might clarify things i dont think its in their DNA. With regards to the AQF frame work, if the AQF say a three year full time course is level 7 then Dip He must be equivalent to oz bachelor degree.

Very well put posts jink , one problem i have with the folk at AHPRA is the fact they continue to take $$$$$'s. They receive applications from Dip He nurses/midwives and take the payment. Surely if they have no intention of granting registration, they should refund any payment. A simple glance at the form would tell them degree or Dip He and no body would be out of pocket. As for the Dip He being classed as a level 5 on the AQA scale, this i cant see happening. The Dip He course is 3 years in length and was sufficient prior to october 2013.
