I have managed to get through by ringing the second the lines are open , or they do reply to e mails

The BSC in Health Visiting should enable you to register and gain a skill assessment , have you looked at the websites of AHPRA, and ANMAC who undertake the skills assessment. We have child health nurses here who perform some of the functions of Health Visitor

If you only need data airalo E travel sim is a good option

You might need to give a bit more info, Perth is pretty sprawling from North to south its around 100km, and from coastal to hills is around 50Km do you have any areas in mind ? are you going to rent or buy what sort of budget ect , where will you be looking for work?

Be prepared to potentially offer more rent than advertised or bigger bond or both and /or 3-6 months rent up front. No messing around.  This actually not permitted in some states, (Victoria)Rent bidding is already illegal in QLD and they are about to introduce legislation to stop the above practice as well.

It’s a pretty stressful experience for a dog and it would also be a very costly.

The processing in UK is one thing it’s the post that adds the time , I recently sent a document to the UK which then needed to be returned, it took 3 weeks to get from AU to UK most of that time stuck in Sydney and almost 4 weeks to get back , again the delay was in AU , this was not even in a busy period so at a rough guess would allow 8-10 weeks from sending to receiving . UK passport agency state around 3 weeks for the processing but I have been told by family in UK it’s usually not as long as that.

Generally the way it works is you pay quarterly fees which pay for maintenance of communal areas, building insurance, liability insurance, and repairs. The amount payable can vary depending on many factors, for example if there is a pool, gym , the size and age average here in Queensland is around $4000 up to $10,000 + per year There is what is known as a body Corporate Committee which is made up of owners who decide on all mattes , agree budgets ect, most are run by strata management companies (who charge a fee) who will communicate via the Body Corporate.There is usually a general meeting every year. The key thing when buying a strata property is to check recent minutes of annual meeting, look at the financial records to check sink fund payments ect this gives an indication on how well run the development is. If you buy via a real estate agent they have to disclose this information to you, its usually on display at a home open. So the key difference is you are an active participant and not just giving money to a leasehold company for whom its about making money.

You get the lump sum which is taxable in Australia if you are in Australia i think its within 6 months of receiving it, then the annual amount you put on your Australian tax return as foreign income and its taxed here, you wont pay tax twice. It can be paid into an Australian bank account.

Are you registered with AHPRA yet? If not that would be the first step as it can take a while to do. You can look at the career website for health jobs in WA health.wa.gov.au

It permitted in Queensland but many agents won’t do it

It is technically possible, the question is finding an agent that will do it. Obviously you need to get through the application process have proof of employment with proof of income, (paying in advance isn’t always an option) provide references and sign a form saying you are renting without seeing. Most people rent temp accommodation when they arrive. As you say the market is pretty difficult at the moment, you could always give it a go and see what happens

Happy to give you any information you need

I Live in Cairns FNQ, and am a Midwife, the local Hospital Cairns Public Hospital is always desperate for Midwives. The only Private hospital here is also more than likely stopping maternity services soon and all that activity will transfer to cairns public.

I stayed in the Aerotel terminal 1 a few weeks ago, it’s airside so no head to clear customs, nice big rooms with showers you book in 6 hour blocks cost $221aud for 6 hours which did include a meal
