Hi, we have a 489 visa based on my skill as an icu nurse. My partner is an hgv driver but we can’t get an answer as to whether he will be breaking the 489 rules if he delivers to city areas if he is working for a regional company. Or vice versa, working for a city company but from a regional depot and delivering all over. 
 

does anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, I believe that his wife did what I have just been offered. I have just started on my BSC (hons) nursing and already have a degree. If you already have a tertiary education then you can study a graduate nursing diploma which is a 3 year course and followed all of the same curriculum as the BSc, however you are exempt from some of the pure academic modules, such as the communication ones and the dissertation as you have already shown that you can study at degree level, you do have to study at Msc level for a couple of modules as well though and you do still need to do all of the pharmacokinetics, p and p, placements etc and it is still 3 years. However it is confusing as to whether oz recognise this or not. It is officially a higher qualification that the BSc but is less than a PGdip and i dont think there is an oz equivalent!

I have my fingers crossed for you wife @Daffyd

hi, I was just wondering what the outcome of this was as I have been offered the chance to move on to the post graduate pathway but am worried i might shoot myself in the foot as it were!
