Usually now days getting sponsorship is pretty difficult. A few years back they were pretty common but the Australian government made it more expensive and more restrictions, but I’m sure after two years sponsorship they you get a more permanent visa. Asmirt are pretty strict with the amount of general and CT you do after qualification. I know one radiographer who they refused as they went straight into Mri after qualification. Are you a Sonographer? Where is your sponsorship? That's interesting to know, I have read similar..I'm trying to get back into plain film because of this. I'm a mammographer but I'm willing to drop back down just to get what I need to get to aus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can build up enough points before then, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from applying for a permanent visa yourself. The only downside is that you'll have to pay all the fees yourself if you apply independently, whereas if you wait patiently till the end of your contract, you get support from your employer. But personally I'd say it's worth it. Oh ok, that's good to know. I wasn't aware of that at all. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great. To be honest, I want to wait until I've had ASMIRT back because there's a chance in going to need to do more back in x-ray and whatever way I go I need ASMIRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
