My partner is a B Pharmacy graduate from India. Is it ok if she want to pursue Master of Public Health at University of Wollongong? Will it be an issue while visa processing?

Hi all, I am new with a big question in my mind regarding Australia Migration: vetassess. I am Diploma in pharmacy (2yr), Bachelor of pharmacy (3yr), Master of Pharmacy in Pharmacology (2yr) with experience in Pharmacovigilance as Drug safety associate (2.5yr), Scientific & Medical writer (2yr), Senior Process & Quality Analyst (1yr), Lead Process & Quality Analyst (6 months). Since I have a different Designation but experience in domain of Pharmacovigilance with which Skill should I be applying for skill assessment? What are the possible points on where Vetassess can give negative assessment?

Hi, I'm coming over on a 457 visa in a few months and will buy an insurance package. I wanted to ask about how pharmacy coverage is handled by insurance companies. I currently take two medications, if I buy a plan with pharmacy coverage will I be able to claim these medications or would they consider them a pre-existing condition and not cover them? The insurance packages I have read through only mention hospital care when it comes to pre-existing conditions and not prescription medications. Thanks

So, moved out here at the beginning of June 2014. Husband and I lucky enough to get a permanent residency visa with no conditions, which means no stipulations on where to live or what job to have. We're making the most of this opportunity by travelling around the country for 12 months or so, before deciding on somewhere to hopefully buy a plot of land and build and grow our own. Touch wood, everything's going well so far, my only slight point of confusion is what shops are the equivalent of UK ones? eg what's the nearest thing to Boots chemist? or TK Maxx for decent discounted clothing and random items? In general, very happy to be here, don't miss much about the UK yet, would be nice if I could have brought all my family and friends out though! :ssign19:

Hi. I passed the CAOPs exam last June and now need to apply for, and complete my period of supervised practice. Has anyone got recent experience of the registration process for pharmacists? Fingers crossed.....

Hi can anyone help me, my wife works in a chemist as a Pharmacy Technician (making up prescriptions etc) just wondered if there was any other Technicians on this forum that could give good advice about the move to oz and if they have them in oz many thanks.............

I took Thorn to visit The Pharmacy Cafe In Newton Abbott , Devon a couple of days ago. It's a fantastic cake shop, that is created in a victorian pharmacy. It has all the original fixtures & fittings which are really amazing & they make great cakes too. So I thought I'd share some photos, there are no cakes left to share :laugh:

Hey everyone. About an hour ago I dropped my resume off at a pharmacy here which had a position going for a 'casual pharmacy assistant' I am turning 22 next week, and have never had any training or experience as a pharmacy assistant, however I have been interested in taking a course to be trained as one, and seeing as this position appears to have on-site training, and I have experience in retail which seems to be a big part of what the assistants do there (They sell make up and stuff too) I brought in my resume for them to take a look at just in case. Anyhow, I think I might actually be in for a chance at getting to an interview in the next few days! I just was told that I would recieve a call arranging an interview, so I am not sure if that is because they are interviewing everyone, or they actually like me from first impressions. I REALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY MIGHT INTERVIEW ME! What kinds of questions do they ask pharmacy assistants? How could I answer them? What kinds of qualities are good for a pharmacy assistant to have?? What kind of questions can I ask THEM when they ask if I have any questions? Is there a certain dress code for this kind of interview (Blouse & black skirt?) Basically, ANYTHING that could possibly help me in any way to get this job! It is the first job I have applied for since getting my T.F.N and I am terrified! I really hate interviews and freeze up in them - I could do with any piece of information, advice or help that I can possibly get! If anybody can give me even the tiniest snippet of advice it would be SO appreciated! Thanks everyone! :hug:

Hi all Just a quick couple of questions. My partner is a qualified Pharmacy Technician and has also completed the Accuracy Checking Technician course. Does Pharmacy Technician feature anywhere in Australias Skilled Occupations list as I can't find it anywhere ? It seems to be listed in Canada, New Zealand and the UK as an in demand skill but not in Oz. Maybe i'm just not looking in the right place or does Oz not consider pharmacy technicans as enough of a skill. Also if it is featured anywhere would it be worth having a skills assessment for the second applicant. I will be applying as the main applicant as a Registered Nurse ?:confused:

Hello All, This is my first post on this forum, We are looking into emigrating and the obvious question is the employment situation, I'm a Contract Director for a Road surfacing company and my wife is a Pharmacist. Any feedback or advice would be gratefully received. Dominic
