Re: Help!! Fear of dentists and need a filling!

Re: Help!! Fear of dentists and need a filling!

How much does your dental insurance cover? And how much does it cost? I've seen some policies cover dental crowns etc but does it cover the full cost?

Re: NSW Motorbike license

What about states allowing people with a driver's license to operate a moppet? I suppose it's the tedium of too much regulation against safety.

Well done.

They must be quite desperate for geologists then :)

So did you go through a phone interview?

How did they first contact you to arrange the interview? Via e-mail?

Re: How hard is it to get a government job as a PR?

Interesting, my sister based in Perth tells me jobs are scarce in the rural areas compared with the city. Depends what you do I guess.

How hard is it to get a government job as a PR?

Has anyone tried applying to work in the Australian government?

Do they even respond to applications sent from overseas or do you need to have an Australian address to even hope for a response?

Hi Barbara,

Isn't the Department of Environment and Conservation a federal department, which I was told only employ Australian citizens. Are you a citizen or PR?

Re: Heading to Canberra?......

Thanks Casey for researching this. I got a reply from the ACT SMU and they said there is a fee of A$200 to renew the lease, but as you said it has no bearing on property prices whatsoever.
