I have been looking on WA government for jobs and seen one in a 'pool' which they may take applications from until 2015.

Deadline date is 24th April 2013 to put in a CV.

Im not looking to move until late 2014 - once saved up enough, should i still send my CV in to this 'pool?'

Advice and experiences please :-)

Hi Shelz....

Did you move?

Alli

Hi Alli,

Unfortunately we not in Australia yet, and have now got a 18 mth plan to get over there for August 2015. I have just had confirmation that my nursing registration with AHPRA has been finalised today which is great news!!

Next i will look to do my modified skills assessment then apply for PR visa - but in the meantime need to save up and get our current home up to scratch ready for letting it out :-/

If we win the lottery or get offered a sponsored job with assistance then we will be over sooner :-)

How about you???

Hey Shelz

can you confirm what documents you have notorized for AHPRA
Did you notorize your CPD?

Hi Shelz,

After much deliberation I think I'm at the point where I want to try Australia.

I think we're looking at the same advert.......I'm looking at jobs in a pool. Just trying to figure out whether to apply to aphra now and submit a cv stating aphra is underway.

I've gotten to the point where if I don't try it I'll never know....! I'll probably look towards a 457 visa, then if I do settle I'll go the whole hog!

Hi, I had everything notarized including all my CPD and certificates, the magistrate wasn't very happy it took about 3 hours :-/ all done now though

Sounds like a good plan Alli, to get a 457 u need AHPRA registration and of course the employer to agree to sponsor you, the difficulty with alot of the job adverts they don't state if they r offering sponsorship.

Not many hospitals will sponsor "Pool" or "Casual" jobs because they have to guarantee new recruits on a 457 a minimum of AUD54k. 99.9% of the jobs I advertise have sponsorship on offer for approapriately qualifed/experienced UK Registered Nurses.
