What company did your hubby speak to and what sort of engineer is he. I'm a nurse so found the expo of interest but if hubby really get's that much I won't be rushing for a job in nursing

Hi Graham
We were there too and found it to be a bit of a let down. We were finished in 25 mins. We also asked the lady at the DIMIA stand about the TRA deeming date issue and she said someone else had just asked her the same question but she didn't know the answer!
Maybe the next Expo will be better!!!

What a dissapointment
On the website they advertised that over 60 exhibitors would be there.
There were only 48 stands and if you are a nurse, or in engineering or mining there were one or two people to talk to.
A lot of agents were there including the 'The One That Cannot Be Named'.
DIMIA were there, but when I asked a question about TRA no lopnger issuing deeming date the woman I spoke to did'nt know they had!
We got there for around 11 and if it wasn't for meeting up with a few others we would'nt have been there for more than an hour and it would have been a totally wasted trip.
The 3 other couples had the same view.

All in all a very productive day & I'm glad we went.

Who is 'the one that cannot be named'? and why can't he be.
PM me if you can't say in open forum.
If there was a dodgy one there we'd like to know before spending our money!
Thanks

Re: Has anybody been to Aussie Expo, Earls court today.
Whilst we were disappointed at the fact there were no catering recruiters and it was mainly nursing, I thought it was great to meet everyone.
My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves.
(Jonahs mummy, your little boy is lovely, )
I just wished we could have stayed longer.
That was the best bit about my day anyway - meeting everyone else.

As an aside, news on DIMIA policy in the absence of TRA deeming dates is expected in the next week ...
Best regards.
