debgav Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I emigrated to Queensland last February. I am a Nurse, but because my registration was such a nightmare to obtain I had to return to The UK in August as I had ran out of money. I have finally been granted my registration and now intend to return back to Bundaberg. However someone has told me if I am out the country for over a year I have to apply for a visa again.....Is this right? as I was granted Permanent residency. I am now currently looking for work if anyone knows of anything going i would be very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not true. If you have a PR visa and it is still in date, you can come and go as you please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaik Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well done on getting your registration, it sure is a long hard process. I moved to Brisbane in January and am still waiting for my registration. Nearly there though, done the bridging course and just waiting for AHPRA again!! Anyway have a friend who works at a hospital in Bunderberg she is a nurse unit manager I believe. Anyway will see if she knows of any vacancies for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
