  1. Nobody "has" to do the test. But if you need the points you do it.

    Nursing is a different ball game though, you may not need to take an English test for points, but you do to work.

    And as others have said, you can't work as a nurse in Australia without a degree in nursing.

    yes i understand the diploma /degree issue, i have enrolled on 3 modules from sept/oct to top up to the degree by the summer so all being well with the visa application my degree will be completed by the time the visa is in place.

     

    thank you

  2. You can pass the skills assessment with anmac with a diploma. But you cannot get nurse registration without a degree. You're a nurse, you should have a level of sense do your own research. Look at what you need for skills assessment:

    english test gets you points for visa. Can be used to prove you have 5 years of education taught in English. Can provide transcripts from high school or English test will cover it.

     

    i am trying to do my own research and a part of that is asking people going through it or who have been through it. I have read many posts on here stating that agents arent usually involved in recruitment and t seems frowned upon, so im not sure why asking is getting such a negative repose. I actually thought very highly of the agent on the phone, but my 'level sense' reminds me that there is a huge amount of money involved in using an agent that i have never met, so asking others gives me a point of reference to ask him more questions.

  3. my brother in law is a lawyer and is in Aus, so when he said he didnt have to do an English test because he has a degree from an English university, there was no reason for me not to believe what he was saying, my question is, is this correct for all visas.

  4. i'm confused by what i have read and what my agent is suggesting and seeing as so much money is involved i thought id do a bit more digging! I am a nurse, my qualification is a nursing diploma, the agent has said i need to do the English test, my brother in law doesn't think that is correct. He said that people who have done an English degree don't need to do the test. Now obviously i don't have a degree, but i have attended an English university. I was also born and educated in England and my family are all British.

     

    The documents they have provided also mentioned that the agents will support the application process for registration to the Australian Nursing board and 'present' me to potential employers, however, i have read on this forum that this is not a normal practice. That agents aren't normally involved in helping find employment. Is this true or is it different for Nurses / skilled workers?

  5. Happy to help and on a weekend :)

    Some pet shippers do a lot of paperwork, some do none and some halfway in between. Petair can do it all for you - when i say that i mean plan it, arrange it, apply for the paperwork and all you need to do is to take your pet to the vets and we liaise with them to get the bits right.

    Get a bunch of quotes and decide how much help you would like. Price things up properly, as some shippers will give you a price and then you need to add your vet costs to it - so making them not so cheap after all.

    Key thing is - no matter who you use - start the rabies work early. it needs starting at least 7 months before you want to go, so have a look at the AQIS site or here https://www.petairuk.com/taking-pets-to-australia/dogs-australia for dogs or https://www.petairuk.com/taking-pets-to-australia/cats-australia for cats.

  7. We are looking at the sunshine coast as our destination and wondered what type of palace it is , if it would suit us. I'm a nurse partner is a personal trainer within rehabilitation and we have a 3 month old.we will be moving at least two of our dogs and I compete in agility with them.

  8. We are still very much in the planning stages. We have A LOT of dogs and sadly we know that we cant take them all with us due to some not being able to make the journey and because its unlike;y we will find somewhere to live with so many. So we are trying to do whats best for each dog. One thing that we realised is that the quarantine period will be the bit that affects some of them. Is it possible to visit them in quarantine? What actually happens in quarantine, are they walked / handled or in kennels and just fed? So much to think about.

    Thanks
