DJF25 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hey, I have recently joined the forum as help from other users regarding an Australian Visa would be much appreciated. I have for some time wished to move to Australia to live and work and I was thinking of going through the skilled visa route. I am 27, with a bachelors degree from a UK university and I currently am a Hospital Manager and have done so for 4 years, nearly 5 which would equate to 50 points (I think). If anyone could help answer some of the below questions, to help me get started, then I would be really grateful - What is the best route to apply for a visa? Is it SkillSelect, or is it to apply directly for one of the skilled visa? - My Bachelors degree is in Geography, but I work as a Hospital Manager - I have heard that now your degree has to be in the same field as your work in order to qualify for the points, is this correct? - There is no "Hospital Manager" on the skilled professions list, but there is "Heath and Welfare Manager" - would these be considered the same? - Is it worth doing the IELTS to try and get an additional 20 points / prove your English competency?

RheaMARN1171933 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 You need to first find an occupation from the list. Check the ANZSCO description of Health and Welfare Manager and if most and not all tasks fall within the scope of what you do. Then calculate your potential points.

DJF25 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Looking at it, I wouldnt say that Health Welfare Services Manager fits my current job role, there isn't a specific role for Hospital Manager, I don't know if that means that it is not an occupation that allows you to migrate, or whether it would fall into this: http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/0/7FB98D459B099DB0CA2575DF002DA701?opendocument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
