Hi, thanks for your reply! You will need a degree in Biomedical Science to be a medical laboratory scientist over there. I don't know if that's what you meant you were doing? Yes September seems like forever! Especially as we just want to do it NOW!

I haven't told anyone at work yet but we are still going through my skills assessment (SA) at the moment. Luckily the manager I DID tell (who I needed a reference letter from for my SA) has now retired and didn't tell anyone else, so I managed to get my SA done and can soon apply for my visa without my work ever knowing! I feel kind of empowered in that I am just going to say "see ya" when I hand my notice in and no one will have a clue I've been doing all this work! And they will all be SO jealous! But I agree you do feel a bit guilty when people mention things in the future and you know you won't be there. And its hard not sharing good news with people you like. They will be so happy for you (and jealous) that they wont hold it against you. Just tell them when you hand your notice in.

It's meant to say "laboratory" but I cant figure out how to change it!!

Hi, I've just joined the forum! I'm a biomedical scientist in Shropshire and have successfully had my skills assessed, and now I have to sit the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS) professional exam in September. If I pass I can then apply for my skilled independent visa! Are there any other biomedical scientists on here who can share their experiences with me? Thanks! :smile:
