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?
