Sunny20 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hi Currently on TSS visa (18mths remaining) working full-time in medical post onshore in role which is on priority list. Partner also doctor and on priority list. Finally jumped through the many hoops required for full registration on AHPRA register. We score 75 on 189 having just dropped points for age. 2 queries A - in completing the employment history outside Australia is it best to consider maternity leave as being equivalent to being unemployed? - 75 pts based on this assumption. B - Is it worth putting application through with 75 pts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you have a job and like where you are then might just as well apply for a 190. We are in last stages of 190 now in the same situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny20 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 I wasn’t eligible for last 190 as AHPRA so slow. 190 would be perfect as we are regional QLD and hope to stay as I’ve family here. fingers crossed they will reopen. Good luck with 190. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with 190. I'd make sure you have everything ready to go for when the 190 window opens up again. They weren't super strict with the 24hr notice but some of the requirements were a bit unexpected. You'll need an HR letter or copy of your contract if you're permanent and a couple of pay slips. I also got a supporting reference from my boss. You'll probably have the rest of the stuff they need. There's quite a bit of stuff to write in the commitment statement when you submit to BSMQ. The other piece of advice I'd give is put a bit of thought into your covering email. I'd say they almost certainly read this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny20 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Will do. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDougster Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 So, to give you hope Sunny, our 190 was granted today. Not clear when BSMQ will reopen 190s so probably worth a punt on the 189 EOI now I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
