Anyone got any idea how long roughly it takes from uploading medicals and police check to getting visa grant?? We applied feb 2nd and had co ask for our medicals etc which we did on the 8th of April. I'm impatient I know!!

Thank you so much @Pinkestlady you're absolutely right is says it's all finalised so I do nothing! Panic over! In my panic I sent an email to my co saying we'd completed our medicals, just in case! Phew!! X

Hi all! We had our visa medical done in the 8th of April for our 189vis and the Dr said it would be uploaded at the latest by the 10th. It still says requested on our immi account! Is this normal? Do I need to e mail my case officer to tell them it's been done! So worried im nit doing something that I should be!!! Thanks for any advice!!

Thank you pinkestlady, thats what I thought, let's hope so!! Just to sit and wait now! Eeeek! X

Hi there everyone! At what point does form 80 get requested? We lodged our 189 in feb 2nd and was asked for police checks and medicals last week which we have done! How long once these last things are uploaded does the visa get granted? Fingers crossed it does!! Good luck to you all, it's soooo exciting! And scary x

Thank you so much! I'll stop freaking out now! Or maybe just start on something else

I'm having a slight panic! A major panic actually! I previously held a 189 visa when I was going to come to Oz with my ex about 10 years ago. We validated the visas then came home, long story short we split up and aus was forgotten about. I haven't seen or heard from him since. I've been told by an agent that having had a previous visa would not impact my new application. What if he used it to go out there? Would that cause an issue? It has expired now obviously but just worried this might cause problems? Any advice welcome!! Thanks in advance Bouncy x

Hello! I've got registration and I have a top up degree! You can only do the bridging program by first applying to Ahpra, then they refer you to do it! Alternatively if you are paeds, mental health or learning disabilities you may be eligible for reg with a period of supervision without the need for a top up degree! Adults require top up! All that said, ahpra change there minds a lot and are as helpful as a chocolate teapot! Good luck with it all!! Xxx

Hi there! Thanks for these replies @Iron Chef our van only has bed in but it's insulated and is exactly what we needed, is this still worth bringing?

So I'm confused about how many points I can claim in my eoi. I'm told mat leave doesn't count but when I put employment dates in my eoi, because I was still employed in mat leave it gives me 65 points! Was going to claim 60 to be safe, do I just shave 2 years off my experience ? If I claim 65 and they say I only have 60 will I get refused even though I still have 60? sorry to ramble, don't want to get it wrong! Thanks in advance!!!

Hi! looks like it's going to be late 2015 for us too! Was going to be 2016 but ahpra came through quicker than expected! it will be me, (paeds nurse) hubby and 2 children. Hopefully moving to perth area or the surrounds! Haven't quite decided yet, all depending on where the work is really! Getting very scared now though!! :-)

Hi there! We've just started to consider geraldton as a possible place we could live! I'm a nurse and I'm told the hospital there has jobs! So my queries are, does it get decent internet connection ? Enough for Skype? is it possible to get overseas deliveries like m&s and next? I know people get them in perth but just wanted to check! And would ikea charge an arm and a leg to deliver there? Is the cost of living on a par with perth suburbs? Any my more info greatly appreciated! Sorry if my questions seem a little silly, I really have no clue!! :-) thanks, bouncy x

Just wondering if it's worth bringing our beloved camper? It's a vw t5 2005. It's not got air con but would get this fitted if we were to bring it! We would be looking to get a camper out there anyway so wondered if it's worth it this way? Can you put it in a container with the rest if our belongings? Sorry a bit clueless!! Any help appreciated!! Bouncy x
