If you could that'd be fab thank you! Any help is massvely appreciated! I have sent my cv to a woman called Karen Prosser. You can contact her on 020 7395 0575. Shes based in london and helps people going on 457's to get jobs. not heard back from her yet but i hope she helps!

Thank you all for your help!! I spoke to someone from HealthCare Australia who advised me to go on a working holiday visa, work with them and find a job/sponsor once ive got myself acquainted with some of the hospitals and wards. Obviously he would say that as hed want me to sign up with his company. Is there jobs and people offering sponsors in WA. I just dont want to go out (on a working hol visa) and not get a job and out run my visa! Ive sent my cv to a woman who helps find jobs for people going out on 457's so im going to stick with that for the time being. Ive applied at some private hospitals but no luck there. Ill keep trying though. And ill check out silver chain. I just want a job so i can stop stressing and start getting excited about moving to Oz!! Thank you all again

Wandering if anyone can help. I am a registered nurse with 3 1/2 years experience. Im wanting to go out to Perth on a 457 in November. Ive got my AHPRA approval so just at the job applying stage.....only problem is, im getting no where! Ive had a few responses where they are impressed with my resume (ive got acute surgical and medical experience) but theyve put me 'on file'. I had one response who said they'd have a look at sponsorship but ive not heard back since. Im very thorough with my covering letters and ive had my CV checked over by lots of people so its not as though im not putting the effort into my applications. Has anyone else had this sort of experience and does anyone have any tips/advice or know of any hospitals/clinics/areas that are more keen on offering sponsorships? I dont fancy going out on a working holiday visa unless i really have to as i want some security out there. I also need to be out by the end of November as my AHPRA will expire at the end unless ive presented myself at the office by them. Got a few months to get sorted but im getting a bit stressed and would like abit of luck with job hunting so any help welcome!!

Hi KathleenandCraig My statement of service was exactly the same as yours and was accepted by APHRA so should be fine. I dont even think my manager signed it. I sent my original job secription too just in case. Just get EVERYTHING notarised!

Hi, ive got my APHRA approval letter through and ive got a deadline of November 30th to present myself to Brisbane Office. Im getting married October 20th in England so were planning on getting there mid november (and basing ourselves in Perth). Were going on a 457 visa. Ive got two questions 1. When is the best time to strart applying for jobs? I figured end of may time but do you think that it too early/would they hold a job that long for me? 2. Also as i will be getting married just before i go out, ill have to change my maritial status and circumstances on my APHRA and probably my visa. Does anyone have any experience of doing this? Is it a massive b***ache or is it quite simple. Ive emailed the woman who dealt with me at APHRA but shes curently on holiday. ANY help and advice will be greatly appreciated! THanks in advance Polly x
