Registered nurse applied for PR OZ
Hi my name is Dawn and have just joined this site with my husband Mark. Have applied for PR in August not heard anything yet but they have taken the money out. We are a family of five, 3 kids aged 18,12 and 7 looking to move to Brisbane on a permanent skilled visa. Can anyone give us idea of the time scale and should we complete our medicals and police checks before being asked?

Hi and welcome Dawn,
Have you checked out www.Austimeline.com ?
I applied end of August, and front loaded with police checks and medicals.
It might be an idea to get your police checks done, as I believe they can take up to 40 days to come back.
You could check what the waiting time is for medicals.
In the end it is your decision whether you have your medicals done unrequested, but looking at other timelines, I would have thought they will request them soon anyway.
Have you checked out the nursing section of this forum?

We are hoping to go as soon as we get the Visa and sell the house. I currently work and live in Coventry. It took me about 6 weeks to get my skills assessment back from the ANC and sent our Visa application on the 17th August but have not heard anything only that they have took the money out.

I'm a mental health nurse in training. There seems to be rather a lot of nurses on this here forum! This is an interesting thread to read, as the nursing bit of the forum has gone a bit dead. It gives me an idea of how other applications are progressing.
I wish you all the very best of luck with your applications. Keep posting to let others know of progress! I'm dead interested in reading about your adventures!
Tony.
