    Hi Zoe, AHPRA is basically NMC - the Oz registering body. They are being a little to deal with at the moment in registering overseas. You will be fine if you have caseloaded as part of your degree and it is in your transcript. But it does take a long time to come through so make sure you do that well in advance. If you just want to do 2 years in Australia for definite and youre under 30 you could maybe come on a holiday visa, but if ahpra require you to be supervised for 3 months (if you didnt caseload 10-20 as a student) then you might find it difficult on that visa to find agency work willing to support you. You could however come on a 457 visa which is a 4 year sponsored visa where the hospital will support any supervision and sponsor you to come (you still pay for air fares, accommodation etc), the drawback is that its a temporary visa and you are tied to the place of work and you have to be full time. If you go on the immigration website there is a visa questionnaire which you answer questions and itll tell you the most suitable. Hope that helps, Becky

    Hi there, Im under Addelaide 23 also - they asked for more docs which I uploaded onto immiaccount rather than emailed. I have emailed them though letting them know Ive done that so I hope its right. If your time line is anything to go by I may have another few weeks to wait yet. Im getting impatient because Ive seen flights I reallllllyyyyyy am tempted to book mid Jan but NO I must be sensible and wait

    Still waiting too..... Email reload, reload, reload, sleep 2 hours, reload, sleep another 2 hours, reload.... Aaargh!!!

    I'm right there with you Whites, I've uploaded everything they've asked for so a long weekend for us followed by no sleep from Sunday night!

    Thanks very much, we are very excited, although slightly gutted I hadn't realised they needed the full ones as maybe got direct grant if I'd have done it properly - never mind at least it's in process! I did it online for my sons and it said priority so ordered that, husband rang his local registry and they sent it out today for £8 less!! Anyone know their case office/r - we are Adelaide 23, looks like a slower team according to the tracker (if it's to be believed), I'm wondering after uploading the remaining docs what the wait is likely to be?

    Well we have case officer. They have requested full birth certificates of my husband and kids. The ones I uploaded do not show parents names. Does anyone know how I get these relatively quickly or what I should do? I have full certs for 2 of my kids, but one of them and my husband we only have the normal ones

    Do visa grant emails tend to come in the night?? Lets just say I'm not getting much sleep awaiting a pinggggggg

    I have never checked my email so much!! Have a feeling it could be weeks yet though

    Ours is in storage with Fox Removals and we completed all the paperwork there for it to be sent but unsure if they can collect from home? Is it all boxed up or is it specific items. There must be a way of doing it. It is part of a container, 7m3 for around £1100 including insurance.

    I am also on tender hooks waiting! Could be any day, could be weeks!! We already sold out house and are waiting in a holiday let but have still accumulated a whole load more rubbish to either ditch, ship or charity. My husband has to clean his tools ready to ship, the main container is ready to go though. So basically need to book flights, book holiday let, pack gets and get outta here

    Hi there, we are coming to Perth. Where about in Perth are you and what jobs do you do? We heard there's a massive downturn in mining/FIFO there and my electrical/mechanical engineer husband could struggle to find work... We are still dreaming of that pool but worry it'll be out of reach.
  14. beckyperthmidwife
    Wow so excited for you!! Congratulations! When are you planning to make the big move and which part? I hope ours goes as smoothly, I'm a midwife and want to move to Perth straight after new year.

    I hope it's normal because we are definitely feeling it too! The excitement has waned somewhat and I'm entering a major period of panic. There's just so much to do and to think about, I guess I naively thought that would add to the excitement when the reality is that with 3 kids and no job, it's just super stressful and yes doubts start to creep in here and there.
