You should absolutely access the Mental Health plan to get CBT or other psychological support. Accessing it will not compromise your eventual application for PR. Not dealing properly with any health problems, including mental health issues, however, might. Good luck Jon (B'ground: English Dr, previously on 457 now PR)

Hi, I moved out here almost three years ago an now live in Noosaville, working at Nambour Hospital. Noosa is a very beautiful place. If anyone would like advice or pointers about the area including house buying/areas to look please let me know/PM me. Its currently 25 degrees with endless blue skys in the last month of winter.!

Just an update. I lodged mine in early January. After 60 minutes on hold, I got a direct line number for NSW and was told they are up to late march and that mine had been "overlooked". So if anyone else out there waiting an unfeasibly long time, it may be worth persevering with your enquiries to make sure there hasnt been a glitch in the system. Obviously if you have an MA its unlikely that you'll need to do this

Reading through this thread concerns me a little. I applied for my visa on the 13th January and have heard nothing yet. Nomination already finalised. Medicals done months ago. All documents uploaded. Says "Assessment in progress" & "processing" on the website whatever that means. NSW office. Profession: Doctor. Anyone else waited this long?

Yes, absolutely, definitely. Get yourself to Charles Tyrrwhitt immediately.

Hi, were also in the area at Marcus beach. Would be keen on a meet up sometime. Jon (44), Julie (37)

Sunshine (sometimes), balmy evenings, ocean swimming, outdoor pools, lorrikeets, kangaroos, little creatures ( the beer), friendliness, scuba diving, plastic money, cycle lanes, eucalyptus, Fraser island, squeeky sand, camping, tree frogs, starry nights, wilderness, prawns, Sydney...........

Seeing as you ask. I'm a Dr. Have worked in the NHS and in Australia. One has 1000+ day waiting lists, great health inequalities and staggering inefficiencies. The other is in the UK. As for the NHS being better 20 years ago when I stated working in it? Dont make me laugh. Keep reading the Daily Mail.

What a complete non-story. Of course hospitals have press officers. Sometimes Journalists p**s me right off. You wanna see waste in a public health service? Look further than the NHS......

Great trip. Have done it in crap camper. Definitely the coast road to Sydney. Don't miss the campsites at Jervis bay. North of Sydney stop at seal rocks, Byron. Scoot past gold coast. Visit north stradbrooke with camper, moreton without. Sunshine coast is lovely, visit noosa. North to Hervey bay, leave camper and take a tour on Fraser island. North to Bundaberg, consider lady Elliot island. You can't take a camper van to great keppel island. Park in yeppoon. North to the Whitsundays and a kayak adventure with salty dog kayaks. Have fun.

Have a great time and wonderful adventure. London is a great city which you will love. You are definitely entitled to NHS care. Oh, and despite what you may glean from a post earlier on, most Brits are friendly and welcoming rather than a***holes.

Bad doctor!! Having opinions and engaging in human conversation with his patients. Must get him struck off.

Calgary vs London. Mm. Interesting comparison. When it comes to skiing I definitely prefer Chamonix over Cape town. Loads of theatre, history, arts, architecture in Calgary. Er...

Ahh. I'll tell my brother and his wife then. 30 something, high credit rating, told by bank that no mortgage unless he has at least 25% deposit. I expect they were lying. Next time I"all tell him to come on here for sound financial advice and an overview of the economy.
