J S Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 That is correct, I filed my application in November and got the Medicare in December (getting an appointment in the city is difficult), you need to take the passport, filled in form and the visa submission acknowledgement from IMMI to the Medicare office. They will provide the number on the spot. However be careful about cancelling your insurance, as that is a mandatory requirement for 457 and as you are still technically on 457 you need to maintain the insurance cover. This will also help you to apply for Medicare levy exemption when you file tax for this year. Check with your accountant. Hi Just thought of sharing this information. I contacted the Immi department regarding the query - on requirement of health insurance after getting enrolled for 457 and this is the response I got _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your email to the Temporary Work (Skilled)(457) processing section. If as you indicated in your email of 24/03/2015 that you are fully enrolled into Medicare, this is considered sufficient in meeting the requirement in your visa condition 8501 HEALTH INSURANCE. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since enrollment into Medicare is sufficient to meet the 8501 Health Insurance condition that implies we do not private health insurance cover once we enroll for medicare on applying for PR. Moreover regarding the Medicare levy exemption, once you enroll for medicare you become liable for Medicare levy and also the Visitor Insurance for 457 does not qualify for Private health insurance rebate.

MaggieMay24 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for yout reply websie and nicolo, the thing is i used to work with another pastry chef and he did the same thing and it works for him. it's a transition stream, he had the PR on march. Did they change the rules since ? Thanks again The 2-year requirement for the Temporary Resident Transition stream has been in place for quite a while so the pastry chef's nomination/application must either have been under the Direct Entry Stream or he'd passed the 2-year mark.

vimsha Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My boss submited the nomination on the 27/11/2014 you submitted your nomination too early. if your 457 was approved in january 2013. your nomination for 186 can be done once you complete 2 years.

Marjorie29 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Today they asked for more docs for our nomination (application on 13th of November). So good to see that things are finally moving! Hope it won't be too long now. Do anyone know how long it can take after they ask for more docs to be granted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend has been waiting for about 45 days and it's Perth office.When his MA rang them, they told him that the case officer's desk was empty and they would leave the message. But my one is in Parramatta. Let's hope will be soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
