Student visa tax rate
Dominic Thompson replied to Dominic Thompson's topic in Studying and Training Visas
Thanks for the info -
Hi there, My daughter is due to start Uni at UQ next year, just wondering if anyone knows the income tax rate she would pay on any part-time earnings or if there is a tax free threshold ? She will be hoping to get a part time job while studying. Many thanks

Pre employment Health Assessments
Dominic Thompson replied to Dominic Thompson's topic in Careers and Vacancies
Thanks for all the replies I think it's for an employer as part of their requirements rather than for the visa which I don't know if it's been applied for, maybe another medical lies ahead after this one but it's very detailed so might cover both Cheers -
Pre employment Health Assessments
Dominic Thompson replied to Dominic Thompson's topic in Careers and Vacancies
Sorry didn't say ! - am in UK hoping to go to Aus and yes I'll give them a call Thanks for the lead -
Hi there, As part of my job application I have been asked to do a pre-employment health assessment which I took to the GP. GP got half way through and said it's too involved have to use a specialist who can do all the things required on the form. Eye tests, hearing test, urine test / drugs screening, spirology (lung function) plus some very basic fitness and movement tests. I've tried about 7 places but to no avail they all come back and say they can't help with this. Please does anyone know a company preferably based in London that can do these sorts of things. Kind regards Dominic

White goods - to bring or not to bring

Many thanks for the info - appreciated -
Hi there, I know it can be subjective about what to bring or not but have a good Samsung fridge freezer, (cost about £1000 in 2014) and a condensing dryer and washing machine both about 4 years old - I'm getting shipping quotes soon but wondered if there was a rough rule of thumb about if it paid to bring these items or not. Especially the fridge freezer as wondered if these travel well. Many thanks Dominic

Hi there A big thankyou to all for your valuable contributions and advice on pets, visas and PR pathways, certainly much to take on board and consider ! Will let you know how it all goes... Many thanks Dominic

Hi there, Thankyou for your replies. A good question re the visa and permanence the honest answer is we're not sure if the move would be permanent for us (me and my wife) but would def get daughter established and well on a path to Aus citizenship. She'd be able to get a student visa in her own right. The cats are her cats so they can stay in Aus, with her once out there. Not sure what would happen to us later on and we might only get afew years there while I was working but would be a change from the UK !. Thanks will ask Pet Air...

Hi there, My family and I are currently looking to move to Australia but I have no job offer yet which we will need to be able to get a visa (too old for skilled migration !). We would be hoping to take our 19 yo daughter and her 2 cats with us as she is hoping to study engineering out there at University and eventually settle and go for Aus citizenship. I am wondering at what point do people start engaging a pet relocation service such as Pet Air when they have no real timetable for a move. If anyone has any idea or experience with this sort of thing any advice would be gratefully appreciated. (Note were advised as a starting point to get the cats rabies jabs and certs obtained which we have now done and told to keep them up to date which we will). Kind regards Dominic
