Skylark Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi Guys, Hope you don't mind me asking for advice as I tend to be a lurker not a poster... but...I am and have been for a few years now wanting to do Au Citizenship, been here 11yrs, married to an Aussie all that time (and longer counting time in UK), I fall down on the Citizenship application because I know no one in the designated occupation list on the Citizenship website to sign my application form!!....has any one else had this problem and how did you get around it?

ali Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Do you have a regular dentist or GP - they only have to have known you for 1 year. Do you have children at school? One of the teachers (if they meet the criteria) can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks Ali...the GP I attend would not know me from Adam...I have not been for about 7 yrs, rarely ill (guess thats a good thing tho), flit from one dentist to another for cost purposes, would feel a bit cheeky asking GP to be honest, the doctors change so frequently....no kids at school either...I just thought I'd ask if any one else had this problem before ringing the Citizenship helpline...we all know how these helplines can give 'incorrect info'....x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzukiscottie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks Ali...the GP I attend would not know me from Adam...I have not been for about 7 yrs, So you are "known" at your GP practice, and have been for at least 7 years, regardless of how many times you have visited their practice rooms. Ask at the reception desk, and they'll likely look after you; probably charging a minor consultation fee for the GP to verify the photo and sign the paperwork.

Skylark Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks Suzukiscottie, yes I would be 'known' at the GP(on their books so to speak), so that may be the way to go...thanks again , will give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm pretty sure the forms said that they must have known you personally for a year. I had the same problem a while ago. Eventually I contacted one of the lecturers from when I'd been in tafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks blossom, I read it to mean the person must have known me personally too, hence the reason I would struggle to find someone to sign...I know plenty of people, just not in the designated professions, sigh!...
