can anyone help?
I'm hoping to move out to Perth with my Boyfriend next spring, and already have a nursing job waiting in Fremantle.
The Hospital have offered me a 4 year temporary visa (457) but we were thinking more of permanent residence. Does anyone know how to go about this? Is it advisable to use emigration consultants?
Also, the hospital have told me to start the process of getting my nursing registration organsed but i've noticed that if i don't start using it within 6 months, it devalidates. How long does it normally take to process?

As far as I know, WA registration lasts a year - don't know if you can do 3 years at a time also (??), but the annual one expires on your next birth month, not heard of having to start employment to keep it valid.

That way you get far more entitlements than on a temp visa and you're not stuck on a contract with that hospital should it not turn out to be what you hoped?

I have registration in NSW and have renewed it a couple of times from the UK.
If it lapses you are able to renew it easily without any hassle.
BTW you may not be aware but is you register in any state you can then register easily in any other state through the mutual recognition agreement.
If you are a nurse then I would suggest avoiding a 457 visa as PR is just as easy to obtain and far less hassle.

Sorry I can't answer your question altough I am a nurse I went for permanent residency, can't you do that?
I didn't know your registration expired after 6 months. I registered with the Queensland nursing council in October and renewed it in June without having worked there yet. They never mentioned anything about a 6 month limit
. I would check that. Good luck,
Tracey.
