Hi folks! Hope your quarantine went well, Lavers!

Just wondering what the cost of hotel quarantining currently is? I will likely be doing it myself in Melbourne in three months time. It will be just me - my partner will be joining me at a later date.

Hi folks,

am I able to bring my uk born husband to Australia on a MLTSSL employer sponsored visa? We are both offshore.

Ta,

emma

Have you considered coming over on a WHV and getting a year experience in Australia instead?

Thanks for the reply Marisa! I have already used a WHV back before I became a nurse. Loved Melbourne and made some great friends so I'm confident i will stay, just thinking of agency for having flexibility to get settled. 

Hi folks, 

I am a mental health nurse. I am torn between taking a permanent post and going down the agency route when I arrive in Melbourne.

Ideally, I would go agency initially to afford me some flexibility and time for fun in building a home in a new place. Does anyone have any insight on good nursing agencies? Looking for a balance of fair pay, good staff support and regular shifts. 

Many thanks, 

Emma

Unfortunately I used my WHV a few years back in an unrelated field. Thanks for your post.

When you say training, do you mean you did your bachelor's degree in Australia?. If yes, and less than 2 years ago, then you qualify as a recent graduate and can apply to Victoria without work experience. You'll have to get your skill assessment from anmac first though.

Goodluck

Thank you for your reply. I started another thread to see if I could qualify for TSS... I think they look for 2 year's experience also but I've seen positive skills assessments used in lieu of this.

Unfortunately it doesn't, you're classified as recent graduate of it was from an Australian uni. Otherwise, you'll have to go according to the website. My situation was different from yours, as I completed my degree here in VIC

Hello all, 

I am a nurse and I writing to see if I qualify for a Medium Stream temporary skill shortage. I have an australian positive skills assessment and interest from an employer (potential for sponsorship is being sought). 

I have one year's post qualifying experience. I trained in the UK and worked in the field as a band 3 throughout my training. Does my positive skills assessment allow me to be accepted on a TSS visa or do I need another year's experience? 

Many thanks, 

Emma

Thank you for your reply. Yes I graduated last year with a bachelor with honours but it was from a UK university. Does that still count? Were you also in that situation?

Thank you so much for your help. I specifically want to live in Melbourne as I have connections there so it's looking like I will have to wait a year? I did work as a HCA during all of my training, but I doubt that qualifies as relevant work experience? 

Oh and I'm applying to Victoria! 

Hi folks,

I am a nurse with one year's post-grad experience. Since successfully submitting an expression of interest to skill select, 65 points 189 and 70 state sponsored, I have been reading about needing 2 year's experience. This did not impede the EOI and I still got the points. I am registered with AHPRA. Has anyone out there been in a similar situation? Any help appreciated!
