Hi all I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone can help me. My husband and I are (depending on visas) moving to Sydney, he has been offered a job in the RAN. We applied for a visa on form 47ES, which is what we were told to do by the RAN, we tried to get our medicals sorted before sending off for our visa but were told by the medical center that applying for a medical had changed to being done electronically and we needed either a HAPP ID,TRN or HRR number. We have not been given this and to be honest not sure where to get it. We have Emailed department of immigration over and over but no reply, asked people who have joined the RAN and were told that they didn't need such a number and Google is coming up with nothing. Is anyone else going through this or does anyone know what we should do? Please HELP :confused:

Currently serving in the Royal Navy as a Petty Officer Air Engineer Technician, at the start of the immigration process. I'm keen to transfer into either the RAAF or the RAN, I have sent my cv to the RAN although have had no joy in finding a contact address for the RAAF. Is there anyone who has already transferred and able to help give advice on the visa process, the support my wife and children would get and contacts for the RAAF? Cheers!!

Hi All, My husband is a C.P.O in the Royal Navy and has done his 22 years and we are looking to move to OZ Navy, he has been in touch with terry George who asked him to fill out forms and medical etc which he has now done. We recently had an email to say they are sending people over on 2nd and 3rd December to conduct informal interviews. We are both going along and have a few questions to ask them but in the mean time I would like some advice from you guys that have already done it. My OH is an air craft handler so the area we have been told we would be is Nowra, I have been to OZ 4 times my OH has never been. Can anyone please tell me if they are based in Nowra and if so where is the marital housing located and is it nice, or do you rent privately and if so how much do you get towards your rent? Do any of you live in Wollongong and commute daily? Where do you all live if your based in Nowra and is it easy to meet other ex pats in the same boat? I don't want to feel isolated and want to make friends if we go out there. All in all what do you all think of your life out there, and how have you all settled in? And how is the pay?? Sorry for all the questions but I need as much advice and possible. Many thanks Claire 36 and Chris 43

The Exchange Programme Long Look (EXPLL) is a multinational, trilateral exchange between the Armed Forces of United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The 140 exchange positions are drawn from each of the three Services and represent a wide range of employment groups; they are to be exchanged primarily on a RECIPROCAL BASIS within their respective host units. The RN contingent for this programme will be a maximum of 20 personnel to Australia. The expected duration of the exercise is 4 months, from Mid March to Mid July 2011 (formal dates will be published once known). I am a Petty Officer Caterer / Cook currently employed as an instructor in HMS Raleigh, Torpoint, Cornwall. I have submitted my application for EXPLL 11 and am looking for a suitable candidate in Australia (preferably Sydney / Queensland area). If you are interested in this, or may know someone who may be interested, please let me know

:jimlad: Hi All, recent new joiner, first posting, finally badgered on by Wife who has been a member for a couple of years now (Brideycollette). Thought i'd join as our desicion time is getting closer due to my end date with the Royal Navy. Few false starts so far, started with RAN but they got cold feet after two months, apparently the RAN is going to train their own engineers now (crazy enough to work). 175 route next, points to the max, Government decide to 'improve' the skills lists and hey presto 5 points short you old fart (come back MODL all is forgiven). Now attempting the state sponsered route (TRA assesment for Elec special Class off tomorrow) or the 'Giz a job' route. The Poet

Hi, I'm considering transfering to RAN from the RN, I'm a PO that has served 10 years. But I'd like some info on pensions, pay, leave absolutely anything anyone can offer if you think it would be helpful. The RAN website is a little short on info. I am married with a 7 year old so any experiences regarding that aspect would also be appreciated. Cheers.

Hi everyone, could I possibly have some advice. My family and I are moving to Sydney in January, my husband is in the RAN. He will be based at Watson. Well, before we go, we get a choice of married quarters to live in, but what areas do you all recommend for us, or even avoid. I have three children, 13, 9 and 7, so schools are important, not being snobby or nothing, if you get my meaning, but we would like to be somewhere where my children can play in the street etc. Any help and advice would be fantastic. Thank you all Lynette:biggrin:

Hi everyone, My husband and I have ran into a new problem while preparing for our migration to Australia. He found a site online that says they are not taking visa applications from people who have not had any official schooling for the skills they have. My husband is very good at his job, which is in the trades. He is a pipefitter and went up the ladder very fast, but has not gone to school for it. He has photos of jobs he has done in the past, recomendations from his present employer and past employers, and they all gave him the best recommendations they could. He is one of the bosses at his current position as well. Does anyone know if this could be overlooked if he proves he has the skills that employers in Australia need? This is quite a blow to as, as we have our hearts set on moving to Australia with the kids . Thanks for being here!

Guest posted a topic in Aussie Chat
Can someone help! We're just starting the process and any advise would be gratefully recieved. Looking at Perth Suburbs but initially looking to move into Navy Quarters until established what the best places for schooling etc are. Also looking at pitfalls, advise, length, probability etc!! Any advise would be welcome. Gail -
Hi 1st post on here! My Hubby has had his offer letter from Canberra to joing the RAN. The letter came with terms of ref etc. As far as I know, we are waiting on immigration to contact us - is this correct? Or do we need to contact them? I have downloaded the 47ES form to have a look at it and try to get all the docs needed together - I am running blind now though as I'm not too sure how to go about sorting this??!!!! I have ordered police checks and full birh certificates - they should be here soon. I have no clue on whether it's wise to get medicals sorted sooner rather than later - if so, what do I ask for?? I am in Plymouth - if anyone is going down the same route, or is further on than us - PLEASE HELP!!!!! My Hubby has been offered a 6 year contract starting in October 07 in Canberra - all depends on successful Visa Application - he has already had an RN Medical - passed security checks etc - does he need to do this again?? We have 3 kids between us - 11,15 & 16. The REDLO has been in touch with a Comprehensive pack for Schooling etc - we've opened a Bank Account with Commonwealth Bank, Sold the House - AARRGGHH!!!
