The Greens have just appeared on current affair and we’re due to return to Scotland today.

They have have been granted a one month visa (extension?) to try and sort out their visa problems. So they are not flying to Scotland today!

RESULT!!!!!!

No doubt a kick in the teeth for this family if they read the articles today about the Biloela family who have just been granted visa's. Lots of very unhappy comments on facebook media posts about it.

I agree, on a personal level I am happy for Biloela family for their kids and maybe means the Green family (in article) have some hope.

But the Oz Govnt spent  a lot of money way trying to send the Biloela family back.

 Was it something like $5 or $10 million ?  

And it looked like Biloela family may or may not have been candid with truth on their application.

Anyway, fingers crossed for the Green family

It's heartbreaking and you have to feel for them.

However it does backup many of the posts on here reminding people that temporary (or provisional) visas are just that and that the dream can end at anytime (even decades later) if you don't get that PR hurdle over and done with.

Yes, it a time bomb all the people here without a route to PR.

I started a thread about this family but it hasn't been approved by the mods yet.

What a mess but if the employers kept going bust he should have tried to get another job with a different employer.  

When I see some of the 'dodgy' characters I've met over the years who seem to get PR and this family couldn't, it really makes me wonder about the whole immigration business.  

 

Sorry Toots, didn’t realise you were starting thread.

How many times have we seen people post on here saying they are going on a Temp visa and planning to stay forever.

Rules change all the time.

 I know someone that came here on Temp work visa and literally as soon as they arrived the max age changed for PR and they were no longer eligible if they had wanted PR.

I wonder at what point do you throw in the towel and return to UK

I really feel for this family.

They have been in Australia on working Visa for 10 years but not got PR as employers keep dissolving (?) before qualify to apply for PR.

Spent 150k AUD and are devastated.

Your visa grant notice will list any limitations on what you can do.

Thank you,  I have checked it and can 

Hi Guys,

I hope everyone is safe and well.

I am on a 482 TSS visa and I am lucky enough to be still working in these uncertain times.

Am I allowed to do a part-time TAFE/Uni course in my free time (while still working my 482 job).

I realise it would be international fees.

 Just fancied learning to cook or interior design qualification.

Thank you for reading this

Hi BB, 

I  sorry you have had no replies,  I guess TSS 482 is so new not many gave transferred employer.

Is it straight forward to do?

I am also a 482 nurse and the job is not working out as well as I hoped.

Do you just get a job offer and if they are agreeable to taking over as sponsor they take over the admin side?

Did you need to do anything to your original visa online.

I hope everything works out for you x

Band 5 nurse is RN2

Band 6 is RN3

Band 7 is RN5

 

the "pay point" is the yearly increment... same as NHS increments... all experience once proved is recognised... so If you have 3 years band 5 experience, you get paid as RN2.3

Thanks for that, not seen that payguide before and good for budgeting x

Have you seen the posts on this and other boards about the oversupply of nurses in Australia with new graduates being churned out and unable to find jobs.  Usual advice is to train in something you are absolutely busting to do, not because it might one day get you a visa for another first world country.  

Quoll as is usual is correct.

There are more graduates than jobs at present.

Hi Captain,

I was on the board posting reply to something else and saw this.

I work in healthcare and I am a registered nurse.

As visa situation can be unpredictable, even precarious at times do the course that you would enjoy and benefit the most.     

Which ever you choose may not lead to visa in 3  to 5 years time but at least you will a job you enjoy and will be able to get work in the UK.

Nobody can predict the skills shortage and visa criteria can change all the time.

I then had to present in person at an AHPRA office in Australia with certain IDs and documents to get full registration.

10 days after doing that I had my full registration.

Hi Kriss,

AHPRA time scales are difficult to give.

I sent off my original application in July 2018 and got my registration in principle letter in January 2019.

Mine was held up as they requested all my syllabuses plus reading lists from both Diploma and my Bsc courses. It took my uni over a month to provide the info and cost me money plus a courier.

You will get there in the end.

If you are only on holiday don't bother registering. Do it when you actually emigrate

Many thanks 

Hi Guys,

Just looking for your advise and assistance about Medicare.

I am going on a trip to Sydney next week as I need to present in Person  at AHPRA for my nurse registration (have registration in principle).

How do I register with Medicare in Sydney.  Is there an office to present at ?

Many thanks for reading this

Thank you Ballaratburd,

it all sounds good to me  

Hi guys,

Waves to SWMOY,

Great to hear you also got agreement in principle.

I have booked a BA cheap sale flight for £627 (return not one way) so I can present in person at AHPRA to fully register in person.  I am going for just one week.

Anyone managed to get a job in the Melbourne area recently ?

Was just wondering what starting salary to expect for Ward staff  RMN and what enhancements are paid ie, unsociable hours, forensic enhancements.

Many thanks in Advance,

Hi Guys,

Just in case anyone is patiently or inpatiently waiting a AHPRA thought would give time scale.

23 July 2018 case opened AHPRA

8  January 2919  I got my notice of principle registration.

I have 90 days to present at any AHPRA office with proofs of ID to finalise registration.

Hope this helps

They like to keep us busy with bits of random paperwork.  

If they need a copy of my swimming certificate (width and length) and Duke of Edinburgh badge I am sorted lol  

Yes, that is right I sent off my AHPRA paperwork to Sydney 4 weeks ago and they are quoting upto 6 weeks IF paperwork complete and correct x
