mansawant Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 HiMy visa application has been delivered today. I have been ringing the panel doctors for the medicals. Gosh the medicals are very expensive and there is so much difference in their prices as well. Hi Leepee, please contact the Bridge clinic at Maidenhead. But not sure where ur location in UK. They are the cheapest and also if you seach the forum you will find so many applicants have recommended them. In fact Matt and Runner from this thread including myself had our medicals done there. Being a nurse you will need to pay £300 (200 + 100 extra for Hep B & C) and for other family members £200 (Medical, chest X ray and HIV test) and for children under 11 £85 (just medical).

leepee Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanx Manswant will book with Bridge clinic. Its an hour and half drive but the one nearest to me is charging £ 375 for me and £ 290 each for my hubby and 2 children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hepatitis needed Hi Leepee, I just checked my wife's mailbox but nothing has been received from DIAC:sad: and Wednesday is public holiday in Oz so can't expect anything until Thursday. Please can you confirm what time your applicatin has been delivered. Ours was delivered at 11:43am on Monday. Has money taken off from the account as I am not sure about ours as my wife's credit card details have been given.

Guest isis1mcc Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi guys, I've just applied for a few jobs with NSW Health can anyone give me tips on securing a position, also wanted to know where you guys are all placed. A little about me, I am a registered (general medical) nurse with 6 years ward experience. I recognise a few people here from previous posts. Anyway this has been a long unpredicatable process. I started with doing IELTS test failing reading by 0.5 points then decided to try the 457 visa but cant find anyone to sponsor me. Just got disappointing news I didnt get my last job I applied for in Melbuorne (the Alfred). So now reverting back to trying for the 175 in the meantime I will continue to apply for employer sponsored visas. I am booked for an IELTS test in June 2012. AHPRA runs out August 2012. This NSW labour visa sounds like a dream come true if I could get a job that offers a visa not only temporary but PR. Wanted to ask: - 1) what should I be doing to secure a position - eg tips for applications and interviews. 2) Did you guys need to do the IELTS? 3)do I still need to do the skills assessment with ANMC for this visa? Know these are alot of questions but my dream of moving to Oz keeps getting complicated when we think we making headway. Thanks for any input, Isis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know these are alot of questions but my dream of moving to Oz keeps getting complicated when we think we making headway. Thanks for any input, Isis Hi Isis, All the members on this thread have been offered jobs by NSW Health (public hospitals) and all have been sponsored on PR visas however there are members who have been offered jobs by NSW health on 457 visa which is a temp visa. PR visa is normally offered to applicants who have school going childern and it will also depend on the hospital offering job. For employer sponsored visa IELTS or skill assessment is not required however for independent visa it is a must. However I think for PR visas you must have at least 3 years experience. Please contact agencies like Healthstaff, Profco or Vital. These agencies help NSW health to recruit overseas nurses. As my wife is a nurse I am from IT, I can't give you any tips. But if you do a search on the internet you will find more info on nursing interviews. Regards, Mansawant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt n Nokky Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi, I am not sure whether you will get answer to your queries as all the members who subscribed to this thred are nurses and all have been offered nursing job by NSW Health. NSW Health have Labor agreement with DIAC so not sure what's the time frame for other professions for this visa. Regards, Mansawant Hi there, Labour agreements take quite a while to negotiate, my rough guess is at least 4 months (main source: forums), once approved the rest of the processes seem like smooth sailing. Wish you the best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know these are alot of questions but my dream of moving to Oz keeps getting complicated when we think we making headway. Thanks for any input, Isis Dear Isis, I suggest getting in touch with recruitment agencies like Profco, etc as they have a good chance of getting you that job, finding a job in Cities like Melbourne is a pretty competitive process and mainly they offer 457 visas, if you are keen on PR try regional areas. IELTS is a must esp if part of your education is from overseas (see English language requirements - AHPRA), however as I understand it if you are on employee nominated schemes you dont need any skills assessment with ANMC, only need to register with AHPRA (thats what we did). Keep your head high as the whole process requires your patience and sustained endurance ..... and never give up your dream!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt n Nokky Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Update-got email for acknowledgent of visa application and medical ID. No hepatitis needed Hi Leppee, DIAC told us PR visa applicants whether they are medical professionals or not don't need Hep B or C tests, if you do them its still fine but they simply wont use them. Its all here http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/panel_doctors/conducting_medicals/instructions/ and in your case Leepee as was the case with us they did not request Hep B/C tests. Good luck!
