Anyone can comment for gynae check up like papsmear, colposcopy , US breast. where can I get it done in Perth? If it is included in Medicare ?thanks

A research degree,normally, doesn't have any coursework so no exams. Just pure research. It's not exactly free. It is funded by RTS (Research Training Scheme) which is funded by the government.

 

Note of caution: A research degree is only useful if you are really interested in it and can actually secure a place. An MBA,for example, would normally be done through coursework rather than research so have to pay fees, where as a research degree in renewable energy would be free. You get the point.

EDIT: There were a budget proposal to cut RTS funding which means universities can charge students to make up for the loss in funding.

Very detailed explanation! Thanks =)

Two more question, do they still have IELTS requirement for enrolment after becoming PR?

do they accept Hong Kong bachelor's degree up to Australia standard so I can study master degree straight away?

Masters by Research and PhD degrees are free under RTS(Check if the uni of interest grants RTS places to everyone or selectively). If you study full time and got good grades in your under graduation then you can also get a scholarship of around $20 to $25k a year which again depends on uni, course, grades etc.

Thanks for the information, may I know actually what's the difference between masters by research & masters by coursework? Why are they free? Thank you

Thanks blossom, I would like to study, seems I heard there's some free courses too? Also, don't know if it is easy to study master degree here if I get a Bachelor degree from Hong Kong.

Pommy girl, I am going to perth WA, I don't have children, but thinking of getting married soon in Australia and buy a house.

Hello all . Thanks for all the members from this forum in assisting me to apply for the PR and I have finally granted PR yesterday , your advise and suggestions are all appreciated.

after becoming PR, I start to wonder what kind of benefit I am entitled to. Is it I need to apply Medicare on my own? Except it, What else to do?

And will in case it helps anyone else!...it was for clinical nurse position..liasion mental health. ..they phoned bit early...email of questions came through at same time as call...three ppl..four questions...three on 'give an a example of when u have' and one on 'what would u do in this situation'..took 25mins....job is not how it was described on ad really so im not much keen on it anymore..they said I would hear in two to three weeks...ah well kp searching. Thanks for replies n well wishes

Thanks for your share ! And it's good that you gain some experience by having interview with them, so you can find the job that you really want in the future.

Would you mind please share more about the content they asked ? If you worry about sharing here, can you just PM me? I really appreciate it, as I also feel nervous about the future interview even though I am still waiting ahpra ( which is a nightmare) and I have been out of job for 1 years and 4 months now .

Hello all, so until today we still didn't receive the payment, it has been one week. In which way I can kick him out of the house or sue him if possible as we are without any rental agreement. And because we didn't receive any payment , it seems we can't sign the rental agreement now too? Would like some advises please thank you.

Any things I can do if he insists to stay ?

I do think he is a terrible person , I am thinking how to ask him to leave peacefully, And I think we should inform our landlord about the whole things.

Thinking on it a recent payment I made to my daughters account took nearly a week.

You maybe right, but I just get suspicious because he didn't even willing to just send me the receipt of the transfer at the beginning or pay $180aud cash first which we will refund to him later and he claimed now he doesn't have spare money til next Tuesday.

I do think he is really not trustworthy and all I want to do just asked him to agree to leave peacefully.

Que sera sera You are right, so should be no problem, maybe in am afraid there are so many crazy guys nowadays this world he will do some harm to our house or to my bf, who should pay for get the house lock to changed?

Have you checked to bsb and account numbers he used are correct? If so the funds would usually be cleared into your bank within 3 working days. Maybe check to see if they are uncleared funds....

The he bsb and account number are correct, and that guy told us it's business account and different bank with us, so may take one more day?how to check if there are uncleared funds ? By calling to our bank?

Hi Eera, thanks for your kindly advice. But the guy said he can sue me about that I sub rental to him illegally..

and I do think that I didn't sign a rental agreement with him, he stills get the key and money transfer record that to prove I tried to sub rent the house to him.

And he even warned me As there is no rental agreement that has been given to me technically not bond is required...

and also he told me it is illegal to request him to pay in cash without through hosing estate or something else.

What do you guys suggest to do now? What is the best way to kick him out?

Hi chewitts thank for your clarifying, the lease is between me , my bf and the landlord. I am currently overseas, my bf lives in the house with that guy, other things you said are correct.

My bf is a very careless person and he told me the guy shows him seconds about the transfer payment. Theguy just sent my bf the payment proof as the pic show, what do you guys think is it real?

I would like to ask some advices. My bf and I rented a house with a landlord . And my bf has agreed with our landlord verbally that we will sub rent the spare rooms. so on 3rd February (Tuesday) , we found someone to move in our house, we said to him free rent up to Friday but he needs to pay the two weeks rent and bond first to hold the room. He did the transfer but until yesterday (4 days have gone) and we didn't receive the payment yet, so I started to worried and asked about the guy and he kept didn't show me the receipt. And tonight I talked with him again on Facebook as currently I am not in australia, I asked him to show me the receipt and pay us one week rent in cash first, then he told me he won't have any cash until next tuesday, so I said maybe this is not the place for you. Then he started to change his attitude, he warned me there is no rental agreement signed between us (actually I kept asking my bf to sign it but he just ignored it) , and he even asked me to give him the copy of agreement with our landlord that we can share our house with someone otherwise he can take legal action. And he even warned me to give him back half of the bond by 10am tomorrow .and he kept saying now to me he can't show me the receipt to avoid financial fraud.

This is really a terrible experience to me, I am scared and I don't know what is the best way to kick him out of the house now? I do think he can't really take legal action to us as he really failed to pay the rent on time. But He has our keys I am scared in the future he will do something to harm us.

hi hope someine can advise me.

 

i have been in australia now for 1.5 years on my husbands 457 visa we are currently applying for PR.

 

i have had a career break whilst here to settle our little boy in but am now in process of commencing APHRA registration. i am dip/he qualfied with two BSc degrees at 2:1 so crossing my fingers im elligible!!!

 

anyway, i was windering what the likelihood is of obtaining work as a care assistant while i await a decision from AHPRA, has anyone done this??

Hello shoegal I am in a similar situation with you, also quitted my job for 15 months now. I am now waiting AHPRA it is really a long wait. They are now currently doing a research on different countries about their Bachelor's degree to see if it meets the criteria 2& 3.

May I know where are you from?

I have a friend who is on 457 visa and no problem in finding care assistant job in Perth.

Today I received the email from CO saying that "Acknowledgement of a valid application for a Skilled - Independent (subclass 189) visa" for my partner, and they charged the fee of an additional applicants. However, I couldn't locate where to proceed his health check, and when I logged into my immi account, I just saw his name being added, and documents are required to be uploaded under his name, however, I uploaded all his and our evidences of relationship all under my name before as His name didn't appear at that time, will it be a problem? As there is a limit of 60 files to be uploaded, I can't uploaded my partner document repeatedly. Also under his name, there is a corner of meeting health assessment and it says "This person may be required to undergo health examinations as part of this visa application process.

If health examinations are required, a link containing the details will be displayed upon return to this page."

Hope someone here would shed some lights , thank you!

Thank you ozmaniac always here answer my questions! You did answer my question for few times already. Thanks a lot

so there is no influence at all even I applied the 189visa offshore (outside Australia ) and can come to australia anytime? Why I heard some people say if you apply offshore, you can't come to australia ? This is for other type of visa application?

I am so worried about coming australia before my visa is granted can affect the progress of my visa being granted.

My CO stated that "Please note that the SI 189 visa can be finalised if you are in Australia or outside of Australia.", so that mean I can come to australia before my visa is granted, is it true?

if yes, which visa should I apply?

and do I need to leave australia border again when my 189visa is granted in order to activate it?

please advise, thanks

hi all, anyone get the link or information about vaccinations that are required for registered nurse before they can work as a health professions in Australia (Western Australia )? Thanks

Hi liliannn, RN from Singapore (Dip) with a top up degree from UK. started my AHPRA in June 2014 and sent additional documents on Criteria 2,3,5,8 in October too. Same thing, they're still gathering information and feedback from employers about international nurses. MY CO is unable to advise me either :\ I've just submitted my PCC (last step!!!) for my 190. May the odds be ever in our favour!

Happy to hear from you, imelda, seems we are in similar situation.

I think before Singapore and Hong Kong nurses were on the list that accepted by Australia, I hope they will still be on the list, so that we don't need to take bridging course .

I just applied for HK police clearance, and HK takes one month to proceed. If Singapore is also same as HK? it requires the letter from immigration for applying the police clearance? Let me know how long to wait for your visa after you submitted the police clearance.

Where will you settle in australia? I will settle in Perth..and I am planning to go there at the end of Janurary, hope my visa can be granted at the end of this month.

Hello everyone

My CO requested police clearance, in which HK takes 4 weeks to proceed and will send to oz immigration by registered mail..and do you guys know once oz immigration received, how long will they take to grant my PR?

I am planning to get the tourist visa to come to oz at the end of this month , is it possible to go there with a tourist visa? As I have asked my CO, and she replied "note that the SI 189 visa can be finalised if you are in Australia or outside of Australia."

Djfuddy, may I know which country your partner from? Thanks

Hello everyone

I am a bachelor nurse from HK and started my application since May2014, and in early October I mailed them additional document, and they replied me that they have received all required document in this stage. After that, I emailed my CO for two times, and filled in the online enquiry form, and haven't heard from them.

I know recently they are doing research about validation of bachelor degree/ qualification of every country.

I will soon get my PR and now just waiting my license, so I can start my life in Australia

anyone know what's going on with AHPRA and the timeframe to wait?

Thanks

Hi all, my partner got drink driving offence this year and resulted in a fine and 6 months suspension, and this is his second drink driving offence ( last time had a similar consequence) as I heard as long as there is no imprisonment sentence of one year, it will has no effect on his visa, is it true? Thanks.
