Re: Rollercoaster of emotions

Would you get a visa for your older two? Surely they're independent so wouldnt be included. They'd both be up for getting their own visas if they qualify. You'll likely only be temporary anyway so...

Re: Which Visa do I need?

Look at the AHPRA site to see what you would be required to have in order to work as a psychologist in Australia. Good luck, they are a nightmare to deal with!!!
