Re: Sydney suburbs for families

Re: 457 visa scrapped

Re: High Blood pressure and pulse at the time of medicals - reason for declining 190

I think it depends on the individual doctor. Mine has always been high because I am over weight...he just muttered something like 'that's a bit high' and got on with the next test. Not really...

Re: 186 - New (Employers) Training benchmarks condition

Pink Slip - Similar to MOT, except that the seller has to give it to you and it has to have been done within 30 days of selling the car to you. He cannot give you one from 4 months ago! Don't accept...
