  2. Yes. https://www.anmac.org.au/skilled-migration-services/full-skills-assessment Sounds like you might benefit from engaging a MARA registered agent.
  3. Or your house catches on fire, and you need to claim on your insurance.
  4. Short answer, no, you can't. You need a sparky.
  5. Bingo. If I were a betting man, I'd say there will be pulsed lockdowns for at least half of this decade.
  6. You don't have to, but from experience, you will most definitely be asked for at least form 80, it not both during the processing of your application. This may add processing time to your application, whilst you (then) start to look for information to fill these forms. Partners of main applicants are also prone to having a criminal history on occasion.
  7. Just as a disclaimer, I'm not a migration agent, in case that wasn't clear. The comment above is not migration advice, but my lay take on things.
  8. Some people go at it themselves, some use an agent. It depends on how straightforward your application will be, ie any convictions/health issues etc. It also depends on how organised and confident you are. Check what visas you're eligible for. My initial thoughts are that it'll be an easier path via your spouse's occupation. https://www.anzscosearch.com/search/ Might be worth having a look at what's involved with getting your spouse's skills assessed.
  9. This. We flew with them in 2017, and I think we had 40kg each.
  10. I'm assuming this will make things easier. With lending being relatively tighter, some lenders are asking for more proof of financial stability. And the bigger the equity you have, the greater chance of securing a good rate. We haven't had any issues securing a mortgage (or home loan as it's referred to here) on a 189, so it should be a similar situation for you. Lenders are fairly au fait about the PR visas.
  11. Not necessarily. We found Ikea to be slightly cheaper than back in the UK for our 5 seater couch. Some new cars are cheap too. Our first car was a VW Golf Trendline for $24k. A single train fare from Bayside to Brisbane is less than $5.
  12. Hi Aman, Welcome. If you have a look as the title of this website, it's called 'PomsinOz'. 'Poms' is slang for people from the UK. Unfortunately this inevitably means that the majority of members here are from the UK. Nevertheless, we do have members from a variety of other countries, albeit as a minority. We sure are able to provide you with personal experience about our individual migrating process, but with regards to the Rajasthan registration council, you are going to have limited responses here. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
  13. Although I'm not currently with them, I have used them in the past, and I concur that their NBN is decent. We brought over a 2013 Samsung smart TV in 2017, with no issues. The thing to bear in mind is that the tuner will be different to the Oz market TVs, so even though you will get some TV channels, you won't get all of them. Also, the channel numbering will start with 800. So you only need a set-top box if your TV hasn't got a built in tuner. I called my preferred provider a couple of weeks before moving in. You might have to wait for a technician visit on certain occasions.
  14. Hi all, Does anyone have first hand experience with schools in the above areas? Which would be the recommended ones? Thanks.
  15. Singapore Airlines have got a few spaces left for travel in April (certainly for Brisbane). IIRC, they are around the £850 per adult one-way.
  16. One way to look at it is: your parents have already lived a full life. They're probably retired. Your husband and you are still in your prime working years, and you're trying to better your lives and give your child the opportunity to grow by living in a different country. They'll then have a choice of two countries for when the time comes for them to choose their future.
  17. If you are a couple and one of you really needs to travel to Oz to start work, then maybe the other parent can stay put until the 101 is granted? It's gonna cost in quarantine fees, but at least that'll relieve some of the worries. That is something we had considered when we submitted our 101.
  18. That was from Cathay Pacific. LHR - HK - BNE However, Singapore airline have got odd days in March and April on the LHR - SIN - ACK - BNE
  19. Surely then the via should be called 'skilled independent' rather than 'state sponsored? Why don't you defer your move for 1 month? I would imagine this would be the safest play, rather than risk having a visa cancellation.
  20. Fyi, the waiting list for UK-BNE is now 14 weeks.
  21. Which unfortunately means that she's not a practising midwife. This may prove to be a massive hurdle, both for the skills assessment, and for the professional registration part in Oz. You might want to sift through the information on the ANMAC website to see what their requirements are. Good luck.
  22. No, that's the next step. But I can imagine competition is fierce due to an increase in the local talent pool. I can also imagine it must be hard to secure a position from offshore.
  23. Might be worth calling DIBP and advising them of the AHPRA requirement to present in person or risk losing the approval in principle. This is what they did.
