ali Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 When I sent off my PC's & change of circumstance form, I also completed Form 47SK (skills match). I've received an email saying that my skills were put onto the data base today and would stay on for 2 years or until I migrate to Aus - has anyone had prospective employers contact them via this route? and more importantly would they put me on the data base if I wasn't going to be granted a visa??? At least I know that my PC's arrived safely, I was begining to think they'd got lost in the post. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Olsen Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi ali The database is not used by employers much yet, but DIMA are pushing it. Being on it does nott affect your application at all, you opted to be put on the databse and DIMA are encouraging its use. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi Phil, I wasn't thinking being on the data base would affect my application, but more hoping that if they've put me on it today then the email telling me I've got a visa may not be far behind!!

Guest Pasty Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi Ali We applied on 5th December and hubbies details got put on the skills matching database on the 19th December. We have heard nothing from prospective employers and we didn't get our visas till 12th May 2006. We were skilled 136 visa class. Hope this helps Jackie (Mrs Pasty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 At least I know they received my police checks (our last thing to send off), if nothing else. Hoping it won't be too long now. Ali x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alison1967 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Two nursing agencies emailled me as a result of me going on the database. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thanks Ali, wasn't sure if it was worth doing or now, did the agencies sound any good?? Ali x x Feel like i've just written to myself :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alison1967 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Your in good company as i'm a mental health nurse. Not interested in agency so i didn't bother getting back to them so can't answer your question really. I am going to apply for casual pool work at flinders medical centre and then apply for a permanent level 2 post when the new psyche unit at flinders advertise.

ali Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Ali, I've got telephone interview next week for RN1 post hope to find my feet quickly and then apply for RN2 community as this is what I do now. Haven't worked on the wards for 10 years! Apparently each state has their own MH act - trying to get hold of a practitioners guide as the act on the internet was about 180 pages - I'll have to get used to saying detained instead of sectioned! Put house up for sale yesterday, just waiting and struggling to think of anything else Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neil Palmer Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Ali I am also on the skilled matching database while waiting for the skilled immigration visa. After 1 week I was offered a job (I'm a Electrician) I've spoken to my prospective employer on the phone and could be out there within 3 months on a regional skilled visa as he is based in Alice Springs. I'll go to the beach another day! I'm all for the skill matching data base. :lol: Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Oh Alice Springs is a bit remote isn't it. I know they have flying doctors - perhaps they'll have flying electricians and you'll get your own plane Good luck with everything Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
