Hi there this may not help but I am moving there in march 2014 and I ave a wee 6 year old little boy and I have a friend who moved there few months ago she has two boys age 7 and 5

Hi there do you mind me asking how you got your offer of employment and the process that took? I too am a HV in Scotland and moving to Brisbane march 2014 and would REALLY like to have offer of employment but not sure that will happen without them meeting you first? I am so nervous as don't think can get house without job and cant get job without house arghhh and im a single mum which does not help lol any advice much appreciated :-)

Hi name is Nick and I am registered nurse for 8 years with experience in surgical nursing, practice nursing and now community nurse working in health visiting and child protection for past 4 years. Am single mum and due to move to Brisbane in March 2014 and just wondering if anyone and how anyone secures a job before going? This is my IDEAL situation as I really don't want to go out there with no job but not sure how likely it is I will secure a job without them meeting me first? Can anyone help I am worrying myself sick over this :-( Have just recently applied to Queensland health and put CV on SEEK :-( Any advice would be much appreciated as it is well scary doing this by myself x

for you eventuall;y!!!!!!Well done so happy for you eventually!!!!!

Really hope the June guys get some good new this week got fingers crossed for you. I find it hard not to come on here now even though I have my grant as was such a habit for sooooooooooooooo long.........good luck guys :-) Positive thoughts x x x

Not according to my grant letter it mentions nothing to do with PCC or medicals it states I must make entry to Australia before 3rd October 2014 (12 months from when visa was issued) and if I chose to not stay I have until 3rd Oct 2018 to move permanently or need to reapply :-)

It seems like us June applicants using Team 8 are being issued a grant per week by looks of things? Regarding entry dates........... on MY grant letter I have exactly 12 months for confirmation entry from date visa was issued (no mention whatsoever of PCC or medicals) :-) Then exactly 5 years to move permanently from date of issue :-)

Thanks to everyone for all their kind words its kinda sunk in now nearly 12 hours later and my initial sadness and tears has now turned into panic and total and utter excitement lol but I sincerely hope that this is a good sign for all the other June applicants as I know how utterly awful it is when reading someone lodging in Aug and Sept receiving grants all because they are with another team. I do appear to be a week ahead of rest of group so I am thinkin that next week is gonna be everyones week. Good luck everyone :-)

Thanks Shreya Im sure this must be the start for us June applicants as I think most are about a week after me! Very strange day I thought I would be so happy but its very mixed emotions cant stop crying lol kind of like where is it where is it where is it oh **** its here!!!!!! Im sure after it has actually sank in it will be all good!!!!! Fingers crossed for all other June-bobs as you really do deserve to get some news v.soon :-)

well guys.........hope this cheers everyone up.....me and my wee boys golden ticket came this morning!!!! so may emotions i was not prepared for xxxxxx

Congrats on grant and WOW what a timeline!!!!!! Can I ask your team? Some confusion I think I have a CO I was stating to someone else who said my case was different as I got a CO immediately but they misread my timeline I was saying I waited from time of submission 2 months for CO and got CO in August and everything done then but have been waiting on grant ever since..........:-)

I too sent email last Monday and waiting for reply :-(

I lodged early June and was designated CO late Aug???

Er no I don't understand why my I don't understand my case is different? But yes I was told I would be escalated but hey? 2 months for CO and still waiting? Im not worried Im just frustrated that I have heard nothing for months..........................but I hope you are correct in thinking I should be getting grant soon?

I really hope so Stefe I am going with an agent and sent them an email today to say in the most politest way.....If everything is in what the bloody hell is happening, agent stated she would email today and ask what the delay is I am sure it will probably be another week for reply so wont hold breathe you never know perhaps they will all be issued on same day? Ha Ha then again I may wake up!!!!!!
