ah that makes sense lol yes think I'll ring them just before I go over and make an appointment if needed x

thanks lorna hopefully I have as straightforward an experience as your friend!

I've just sent off my application a few weeks ago so shouldn't need to pay again. Not sure why I need to go to Melbourne when they have an office in Adelaide. I'll be hitting the Adelaide office as soon after I arrive as I can......thanks for taking the time to reply and good luck! x

I've got the PR visa and applied to Ahpra a while back. Just waiting (and waiting) for my Letter of Eligibility for Registration and we're heading to Adelaide next month. When I get to Adelaide, providing I have the letter, how do I go about getting my registration?? Do I just turn up at their office or do I need to make an appointment? Is there anything else I will have to do? do I need to get some sort of police check done? ​Just wondering if there is anything else I'm going to have to do before I'm able to start work....need to be earning asap!! thanks in advance for any replies x

I sent mine also using DHL in WH Smith. I sent it on a Monday and it arrived on the Friday and was able to track it as it went along. I got an email from AHPRA the following Monday confirming they'd received it x

same day for us.......after all this chaos I'll be delighted to live out of a suitcase for a while lol

just boinging this up in case someone hasn't noticed it that can add to the above :biggrin:

thanks for the info so far people, a few useful tips so very much appreciated x

our container comes next week to take everything away. Just wondered is there anything you recommend we do in advance to make it easier? we know about cleaning stuff eg. the soles of shoes and aren't taking anything that's been outside (but will stick jeyes fluid over the wheels of our double buggy). I'm really looking for hints/tips re packing etc or some ideas that will help make things go a little smoother on the day.......thanks x

why was wee Norn Iron left out??

anyone got current quotes for a 20ft container? (We're moving from Scotland to Adelaide) we would just like to compare with others to get an idea of what an average fee is........obviously a bit of haggling is involved to get them down to as low as possible am I right in thinking freight costs went up at the beginning of this month? I guess this means that current prices will be higher than say those who got quotes for January :sad:

double check what those companies are quoting for, those figures are what everyone else is being quoted for a 40ft container. Are you taking a lot of stuff over? Maybe they've quoted you for a 40ft as a 20ft is too small?

surely if it was a problem you wouldn't have got on the nursing course in the first place? can't see how it would be a problem so long as you're open and honest about it but maybe contact a potential future employer and ask them if it would cause any issues? good luck!

hi can you tell me when you have to import a car by? we have a car we're thinking of bringing with us, we've owned it for over 12 months. Do we need to ship it the same time we go over or is it ok to put it into storage for a while and ship it over at a later date eg. 6 months later? is there a time limit as to when it has to come over? thanks

Health.Operations.Centre@immi.gov.au is the email address for Global Health. They no longer accept phone calls.....actually I don't think they respond to emails now either so maybe best to call DIAC and see if they can give you some information or chase things up for you x
