Hi there Falco Thorn

Excellent news, just gone through all of that process two weeks ago, we used Queensland Treasury, they were really helpful.
You are nearly there, race you to the finish line.

Best wishes

Hi Linzie,

They have had our medicals and police checks now for 1 week and we are just waiting now for the bond to be requested.

Cheers Andrea

How do you know if you require the bond? we did medicals and police checks few weeks ago, not sure if we require the bond for points, we should have enough without, but put on form that we were willing to put money down if required.

Pete n Lisa - the race is on, although you are ahead by 2 wks!

We are deciding to go with WA, tried emailing them all last night to get current rates, but only WA and NT replied, QLD and SA emails were rejected, don't know if addresses I have are out of date! Well think we'll just settle with WA. BTW how did you transfer your money, I was looking at HIFX, but got a better rate with abbey even taking into account £25 charge.
Hope you get your grant Soon!!!!

Andrea - we actually had a painfull 5 week wait since courier confirmation that meds/pccs were received. I eventually plucked up the courage last week and emailed our case officer to find out if she had received everything, she promptly replied saying yes and that she was sending out the investment letter that day! So it has taken 6 wks total since sending our meds/pccs! Hope your wait is not that long.
Best of luck.


Thanks Billabong!!


Cheers all!!

Hi Darren & Rhian,

DIMIA will let you know if the bond investment is required with a letter requesting it, if not, and your meds and pccs are all ok along with meeting all their requirements, then the next stage would probably be the grant letter!

Best of luck!!!
