I think applications will soon be opening up for teaching scholarships so please have a look! http://www.dec.nsw.gov.au/about-us/careers-centre/school-careers/teaching/our-programs-and-initiatives/teaching-scholarships

Your visa should come any day now! I bet you are well excited! PM me so we can discuss finding work and exchange information on how to settle in better. I'm finding it hard without Martin at moneysaving expert, no meerkats or comparethemarket, moneysupermarket, no amazon, no HUKD, nothing! I don't know where to go for any of this information! I am in NSW atm, New Castle, got here a week ago, so digging in and getting stuff seen to! Good luck with the move, PM me!

Ask the DVLA how they do it? We just give them our name and they find us on the system. Why can't everyone do that? Or we could even have a laminated color copy of the licence and that is acceptable too, even in some Asian countries that I have been to, Including Thailand and India! They just need the licence number off it. For age verification purposes, ok, the originals are important, like to buy alcohol, but we can get a photocard for all that couldn't we? But when in Rome, do as the Romans do I always say!

I'm in New Castle and went down to Charlestown, to the local RTA. She asked for all the same documents as for you but the difference was that she gave me the licence on the spot with a letter saying that my overseas licence is now invalid until I surrender this one. I did also take it for a year as I think its really unfair for them to charge us every year for our licence cos the DVLA doesn't do that back home. I was very surprised that the licence has absolutely NO information on it and we need to carry it when we drive (but we don;t need to do that in the UK) . Texas was annoying like that as well, they expect you to have your licence on a night out or even your passport. WTH, who would do that! I digress, congratulations on the licence, if you can pm me, we can have a chat about jobs & other necessary things, I've been here 2 weeks! Cheers!

Sorry about this, a bit OT... I am a permanent resident who just showed up 3 days ago on a 190. I wanted to get into teaching and maybe do an Initial Teacher Training, looking at teaching Business / COmputer Science. Have an CS engineering degree and a MBA. Where can I go to to check if I'm eligible for a bursary/scholarship? Can I do this part time while I work? Cheers! I'll start my own thread once there is some hope posted on here.

I've always tried for that elusive 9 but to no avail. They cut my score somewhere else to make sure I got only 8.5. TWICE! +1 to what Maggie said.

Yes, I applied in Nov 14 though. Got it on the 25th. SA.

Invalidates it in OZ. those are the keywords that I've been looking for! Cheers!

Better to get the TFN if you can provide the mailing address of a mate there. It may take over a week to get to you. ANZ is what I think I'll go with and perhaps NAB. DL, 3 months in SA. Then just a swap. Have a look at this, all the info for you. Test

When will you move Charlie? This year sometime.?

I'd give it till the beginning of April 2015. You'll get it before that I reckon.

I'm a practicing Roman Catholic so a christian institution would be a good idea I thought.

Noob alert! I cant even figure out how to edit a post!

Hey guys, how you going… I will be moving to Adelaide in the middle of April & am currently on Seek, looking up jobs in IT & Management. I have an MBA (University of Worcester, UK) & a B.E. Computer Science Engineering. I don’t fancy a coding/software job as I am more of a people’s person. I was looking at getting into IT Support, either at an educational institution or a small company, or an operations management role involving IT (preferably). I don’t want to start too low, somewhere in-between as my wife will be joining me next year & I need to have it all good to go when she gets here. As dan gargoyle said, what options do I have as a IT professional? I had my own company fixing, building custom rigs, tutoring people on iOS & android, & also helping out at local schools in Worcester & at University for their IT needs. What Centerlink payments will I be eligible for? I will be on a 190 permanent residence visa. Cheers!

I am testimony that I have used Richard thru Ryan and I have been granted my 190 last month; it all went exactly how Ryan said it would go. Richard's name was on everything. The team is professional & answered all my questions promptly. I intend on using them again for my spouse. Anything else, please ask.
