Just choose the one which best matches there is a code for RN critical care and emergency (254415) or just choose the one for medical or surgical adult.

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.

Hi all.

My husband is going for a 482 visa and I’ll be going as his spouse. He is a DR and has a sponsorship. We are hoping to move out to WA next year from the UK and are really excited and grateful to be able to take this opportunity.

I am a mental health nurse and wondered if I will be able to find work once out there on the visa as my husbands spouse? Or does Australia just want people on a 189/PR visa?

The visa will be under him as the main person but I’ll obviously be moving out with him to and will want to work as a nurse. I would hate not to be able to find work. I love my job and trained and worked in UK as a nurse for years now. I can’t see myself wanting to do anything else.

Would it be better for me to try and secure a job before we move? Or should I wait until we see there? Can anyone recommend any mental health nursing job recruitment agencies?

Does anyone have any recommendations whether inpatient work or community mental health is better?

G'day,

Would anyone happen to know if the NHS pension is subject to the asset test when it comes to reaching state pension age here in Australia?  Or it is just the actual payment that you get that will be subject to the income test?

Cheers!

 

 

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

Itused to be illegal in some states for the agent to rent a property sight unseen.  It might have changed thanks to Covid and I have no idea whether it applied in Queensland.  

However, as InnerVoice said, I wouldn't want to take the chance unless it was a brand-new, never-been-lived in property.  Agents here are shameless about photoshopping the images they put on the real estate websites.

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

Thanks so much for replying. I have so many questions about Midwifery over there, can I message you? 

I've been emailing HR/recruitment there but not getting much joy, they've forwarded my messages to the nursing and midwife recruiter but haven't heard back from them yet. There are a couple of roles on their website that sound ideal. 

Yep totally understand about the heat and humidity, lived in FNQ for a couple of months while travelling in my 20s. 

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. 

They do under certain circumstances sponsor overseas applicants look at this link it will give you the information you need. https://www.cairns-hinterland.health.qld.gov.au/careers/international-applicants

Mind you be aware the climate up here can be challenging its great now in the dry season, but if you struggle with humidity it may not be the place for you.

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

Also remember now you are a citizen not only is your 190 cancelled but also the resident return part so you need an Australian passport to enter Australia if you leave for whatever reason.

Yes if holding UK passport

As well as holidaymakers and businessmen, regardless of the project, travelers who need to make a stopover in the USA are obliged to submit an application for ESTA transit authorization 

Taken from the ESTA info site

The PR visa doesn’t expire the RRV does you will need to apply for another RRV and meet the criteria for that who knows what leniency the government will allow

Also worth taking into account that the UK Foreign Secretary issued a very forceful call yesterday that all UK citizens overseas should return as soon as physically possible.

This basically means the UK Government is saying it's your choice if you choose to stay away from the UK, but if you choose not to heed our warning we won't be breaking our backs to help repatriate you if required.

I would think very carefully about where you would want them to be in a months time when they are no longer covered by the medicare agreement for treatment of a British person because their visitor visa has expired. The safest thing to do here is to return home...

All well and good but try getting a flight back to the UK

OK so I just did a dummy application and these are the instructions. Clearly says you need to send a colour copy of any foreign passport of every page.  Not even a certified one and not the actual passport.  Not sure where you got that information from. Looks like all I need to send is the old UK passport and the declaration form.

I am applying while in UK that same. Screen came up but it said send passport rang the helpline and they confirmed 

perhaps it’s different rule if applying while in UK if applying from Australia they must accept colour copies 

When you apply now to renew a UK passport,  if you are a duel national with a current passport from any other country ie Australia you have to send that passport with your  expiring one to the passport office , apparently it’s a new thing to check that you have the same name on the UK passport to any other passport you have. And they don’t accept photocopies or even scanned colour copies.

Hi folks please help with desperately needed advise.l am on a 457 visa which is set to expire in Jan 2022.l applied for 190 visa and was granted a Bridging A visa.From what l understand Bridging VISA A is not active but l  not sure if l can travel.Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

I think you need to apply for another visa to travel outside Australia the BVA doesn’t allow it, I think it’s a BVB you need , hopefully another member with more up to date knowledge will confirm.

Which state ?
