Hi,

I’m trying to find out what interest rates each State offers for the $100k investment bond. Does anyone know the email addresses I should use?

Thanks very much.

Hi Alan,

Thanks verymuch, but I get a delivery failure when emailing QTC. Is there another email address I can use instead?

I don't have one immediately to hand ... try searching on www.google.com.au

Best regards.

Hi SS

Im new on this group but am in the same boat as you, Jana1, CrazyboutOz, Threlly etc as a post July applicant for skilled independant.

The infomation you need to contact the state treasuries is in booklet 6 (The skilled independant - how to apply booklet from DIMIA)

I emailed QLD Tresuary and they sent back an application kit within 24 hours. There rate a few days ago was 5.08%.

The application form looks very straight forward.

Cheers Tincx

CHEERS

I am hoping to settle in Queensland, but you dont have to put the bond money with the state you intend to live in. Best bet is to shop arround the state treasuries for the best interest rate. I have not decided whether to use QLD to lodge the money yet, im still looking.

Hope your UK Police checks arrive back soon, mine took around 3 to 4 weeks. Have you had an acknowledgement back with receipt of payment from your local force yet? After that it took around 2 weeks.

Hi there Tincx,
thanks for the help below re the bond.

No i have not had my uk police checks back yet. i got my ozzie ones back after only 14 days. the chq has been cashed, but i have had no acknowledgement. i will give them until the end of the week and then i will contact them by phone on monday. my medicals have gone, i am just waiting for the uk police checks, i really hope they come soon, as i just want the whole lot sent off and out of my mind.

cheers and good luck, let us know which state u go with and which one has the best rate, i will start doing my research on the bond later tonight.
let us know how u get on
cheers

Hi threlly,

Yep, I have been looking and heard back from three states today; NSW = 4.59%, NT = 5.00% and.....the winner is.....WA at 5.10%.

The process looks quite straight forward though. Just hope I get the request to lodge at somepoint (Meds will be sent off at the end of the week I hope).

Hi SS

I used the one of there website, it was:
[email protected]

Interest is at 5.08% so not as good as WA
