Thanks for that, I will definitely be checking out the Council website. What's your view of the safety/access to facilities of that area? Flood risk apart, what's the general feel of this area? I've tried to have a look on Google Street view, but all I can see is building work. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, thanks for your advice previously, I think we're looking at going for one of the new apartments in the Yards complex, off King Street. Does anyone know this area? Thanks, DN Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hi Path2aus, I've posted my documents, and looks like they have been delivered to the right place. Thanks for your help mate. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hi Jordan01, what an inspiring move! We've got a similar path-visa granted in April, baby born in May, moving to Brisbane in August. Still gotta sort the house out. Whereabouts in Brisbane did you guys move to? Were still confused about what to do regarding accommodation. Cheers, DN

Thanks so much mate! On form 47CH: "PART D - Details of other family members" Do I put the details of my wife and I? FORM 40CH "SECTION 18, PART 1 - Nature of the legal right" What do I write here? "PART H - Members of the family unit of the child" Do I write the details of my wife and I here? "SECTION 50 - Does your partner have any children of relatives who are dependent on them?" Do I write the child's name again here? "SECTION 57 What is the relationship of these people to you?" Do I write my son and my wife's details here? Finally, what documents did you include? I'm attaching all certified copies of these: Passport of son/wife and me Police checks for wife and I Marriage certificate 3 months bank statements Letters from work stating what I do and what my salary is 2 x photos of baby (as medicals already done) Thanks again!

Thanks path2aus. I did get in touch with the European call centre, and it makes more sense now. Do you think I could pick your brains a bit more about filling in the application forms by any chance? Thanks! DN

Woop woop! Three cheers for you hun!! I'm really pleased that you can now commence the next step of your journey. Don't be afraid to apply for jobs directly in the QLD health website (instead of going via an agency) once you have the visa. I've managed to secure a job through it, so you can too! I'll have a cold drink ready for when you get there ?

Hey! Yes, I'm still on here. Fire away with your questions, and I'll do my best.

Hi guys, does anyone know where I should submit the Child 101 visa application please? (I'm in the UK). Also, we're flying to Australia at the the of August, what if the 101 visa is still processing by then? I've heard of other people also applying for a tourist visa for the child. If so, when should this be done? Thanks very much for your help guys. DN Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hey all, so flights have been booked, just need accommodation sorted out now. How long did it take you guys to secure a rental? With regards to what to bring, this is our list so far: Bed, sofa bed, tv, tv stand, coffee table, storage chest, PC, bicycles, cooking pans/plates/cutlery/cotbed and mattress, photo frames, hanging pictures, newish clothes and shoes/flip-flops/books. Any suggestions as to what else would be useful to bring over? Cheers!

Hi Peachy and Yelverton, and thanks for taking the time to reply, it is very much appreciated. I'm thinking of Fortitude Valley, as this would give my spouse the option of easy access to the city. With regards to short term accommodation, I was looking at AIRBNB, mind you, it's not cheap! What did you guys do about shipping belongings over? Were looking at MoveCube for the big and bulky stuff, however we're a bit stumped about the baby stuff that we'll need upon arrival - travel cot/steriliser/baby mobile etc. Is there a way of getting these over at a reasonable cost? Yelverton-would you mind listing what official stuff you had to do in that first week, ie Medicare/Tax Reference Number etc? Thanks again guys. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, So I have accepted a job at the RBWH to start in September, and flights have been booked. The only thing left now is accommodation. I was intending on only having a week off between landing and starting work. Would that be adequate to sort out the essentials? I would ideally like to be based close to the RBWH (at least initially), so I wanted to ask your opinions as to where you guys would choose to live if you were in my position. I will have a 3 month old baby in tow, so it would be good to be somewhere that my spouse can go out and explore safely. Thanks! DN

Check on the DIBP website about the specific requirements of the scanned items, ie colour and dpi (resolution). You can scan them as pdf and merge multiple items as one document (as you're limited to a set number of scanned items). Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

I bought my scanner/copier/fax/printer all in one for less than £40, and I still have it 5 years on. Plenty of choice online: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/printers-scanners-and-ink/printers/epson-expression-xp-345-all-in-one-wireless-inkjet-printer-10151302-pdt.html?store=1604&cmpid=ppc~gg~(PLA)-LOCAL~~Exact&istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=xwiiimaaqx&istBid=t&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1012+%28PLA%29+PRINTERS+%26+SCANNERS+-+Adaptive~1012+%28PLA%29+PRINTERS+%26+SCANNERS+-+Adaptive+ad+group~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=m&ds_kids=92700017633985991&PLA=1&gclid=Cj0KEQjwo-XIBRCOycL7hsuI_NoBEiQAuS6HtE63FZUSw-lYR9QryMvE4VavUoklqdOKyhjlQ4rTrNIaAnDv8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CPrl5MKD89MCFcEC0wod3SQBPw Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, thanks for the overwhelming response so far. The salary was advertised as so: "Remuneration value up to $121 797 p.a., comprising salary between $99 205 - $106 750 p.a., employer contribution to superannuation (up to 12.75%) and annual leave loading (17.5%) (HP4)", which leads me to think that super is on top of that. I've been lucky enough to secure a full time permanent position as I'm on a 189, which should give us security. We're not sure whether the OH should go back to work yet, so we had assumed worst case scenario. I guess it depends on whether childcare costs are less than her going back to work salary. As Collie has pointed out, we won't be going out with a newborn. Over here we tend to go out for walks, or visit free attractions. The OH is very good with money, so she keeps me on check. What we spend money on is the occasional takeaway. We will be renting out our UK property, so may be able to get a small income from that. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the quick response! Well I'll be the sole bread winner, working at the RBW hospital, and we're thinking of living close to work (at least for the first 6 months) to get me settled in. That'll save us the expenses of cars/insurance/fuel. I'm currently locuming here, so my salary is inflated, but if I had to compare it like for like, my UK salary would have been around £35k (and I do mean GBP this time [emoji3]). We're thinking of Fortitude Valley/Spring Hill, and looks like for the type of property we're after (newish apartments, 2 bed) the average rent is around $450. From the Salary Calculator app, my take home pay is $5596 (super of 12%). So I guess that leaves us with around $3500 for everything else. I'm hoping to have around GBP15K to get us started, however, we do want to have the option to buy, if we decided to settle down, so we may not want to eat into all of it.

Hi ladies and gents, I wanted to pick your brains please. I've managed to secure a job in Brisbane for around £101k. I know this is a "how long is a piece of string" kinda question, but would this be OK for myself, spouse, and newborn child to live on? We're not an extravagant family. Thanks in advance, DN Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Does anyone have an updated copy of the above please? The only one I can have isat least 3 years old? Thanks Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Yep, that should do the trick. Apparently, ANMAC used to pass your documents on to AHPRA in the past (saving you from doing two certified copies of everything). Not sure if that's still the case. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Just FYI, the solicitors may be ok for the skills​ assessment, but IIRC, AHPRA required notary certified document copies. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Thank you so much for doing this, which must've been hard work, with a young child taking up your time! It's made things so much clearer. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Mine took 3 months to get the provisional registration. Then another month for the finalisation once I had presented to an AHPRA office. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Sorry to hijack your post OP, but it'll be interesting to hear more about where to live, especially with a young family, as it looks like we'll be heading there for September.

Hi all, is there anyone here that works for the above? I would be interested to hear your thoughts and experience about working for this hospital please, as I'm interested in possibly taking a position there. Cheers, DN
