Guest GoldCoastMag Posted December 4, 2011 When we wrote ours we followed the areas they asked for and just wrote as if answering a friend (well I did) the OH did a dot point shorter version. I dont think there is a template as I believe DIAC want it in your own words. Just go for it, it is your story so there are no wrong answers. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happily living in Australia now. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
