is there a more cost effective way of somewhere to stay whilst we have a look around ? Rather than paying over the odds at the top hotels

It certainly is.

We have been accepted for a 489 and are just awaiting our security and health checks. Today we have been to the travel agents for accomindation places, but they have nothing in the Palmerston area, there more the top hotels, motels and apartments on there systems as people go for holidays. The question we have is there any holiday homes places either hotels, appartments motels or holiday homes within this area (Palmerston). As this will be the area we will be looking to move to. One more ore thing also double checked flights with the holiday shops and Internet prices. Just also wondered if any one knows of any where else to check ?

Hello ive just been looking for web sites in NT to contact about renting properties for when we move. But finding it hard to find any to contact, but have made contact with elders real estate. So I'm awaiting there reply. Has any one else got any links that would help me? plus whilst googling I came across the government site about national rental affordability scheme. My question is would I be entitled to this when moving over on a 489 visa? Or is this going to be something for a later time? cheers

Hi Rose whats the best revision material you can advise as I'm 3 points of getting the mark I need.

I'd be interested in the replies you receive for this as I'm now booked in for my second test, I will need to touch up on my work

Hi i sat my IELTS general test a few weeks ago. This is the first time for me. My results arrived today. L 5.5 R 6 W6.5 S 9 Overall band score 7 i did better in some areas than expected, I've now booked in again for another test. But would be grateful if there is any help and advice out there for me. As I understand it I need a7 in all test and not the over all which is a shame.

Thanks for your help Debs x

I'm booked in for my general test this weekend, I've ask for some more information on the general test but haven't had any reply as yet!

Hi I'm due to take my general test, can you tell me if there is any charts or graphs in the general test please

I'm booked in to sit my general IELTS, and wanted to know if in the writing part would I be expected to write about a chart/pie chart or would this just be expected for the academic level ???

hi I'm due to take my test then as well. So all tips would be good.

Is there a link to the on line test?

Hi I'm also a prison officer I have already emailed a prison in Oz who replied quick n said as soon a my visa is sorted then I'd be able to apply. As there not looking to recruit overseas at present, they also told me that I should inform them of all the skills I've gained and mention it during recuirtment as there would be a chance of more pay. Its a shame the current cut backs are coming in as I've lost my role in OMU due to this. I'm sure with the years of service I've got in 10 years and some of the skills (MOE, Tornado, trainer, trained video recorder. Etc) I would have thought I'd be snapped up

I got to look at the skilled list there is only ACT wanting prison officers, I have also been in touch with them. They have told me they aren't doing any overseas recruiting at present but told me to get my visa and then apply with them. Making sure I inform them of my current roll and skills this would enable me to have more pay. I've just sent my vet asses of, but still waiting to take my IELTS test.

Does the IELTS form have to be sent with the vetasses form. does it have to be the ten year in the profession your your migrating to on the form is the 190 visa is it general skilled region or regional sponsored

Hi Im just completing the Vetassess form. Does any body know the next stage from this ?

Hi Angela yes we are the same we are at the first stage, with only a few weeks into it all. Today we have had all the paper work certified by a solicitor and has now been posted to the agency. Now I have to do a bit of study and home work for the IELTS which is booked for next month. So fingers crossed with that. It does all seem a long process at the minute but sure it will all come good in the end.

Yes British born

Hi I'm in the process of booking the IELTS test. I've looked at a few examples and think it is pretty straight forward. Should I have any real concerns about it ? Any advice please

I'd like to know the answer to this too, as I'm a skilled engineer but haven't don't this line of work for about 8/10 years. As Im now working for the prison service.

I haven't worked in eng for almost 10 year so wouldn't be able to support it with employment. I have a betc 1st dip, betc national + NVQ. ill have to ask the agency this week when they ring.

Hi. Yes I'm at the very first stage with an agency here in the uk, currently I work as a prison officer but can't get in there as this isn't a job in demand. I am a skill machanical engineer which has allowed me to start the process and to look towards getting a 190 visa. But since being on this forum I have notice a few people talking about the skills assessment

Hi id like to know a bit more about the skills assessment when you know a little more as ill be needing this as well

IELTS I've still got to book in for this test. Is it something I need to be concerned about ?
