Re: WA 457 When are we due an update
Hi there. I am new to this site but just to let you know I also feel your frustration! I was interviewed last May and was emailed to say that I would be recommended to go via 457 subject to references etc. I heard nothing till August when they asked to chase up a reference. This was done straight away and then I heard nothing. I decided to email a few weeks ago to see what was happening and I had the dreaded email saying that 457 was suspended. The frustrating thing is that it appears someone in admin has been sitting on my application since August and only passed it on to the officer to complete my application after the suspension date!!! (March 09). I was hoping to go out in Jan 2010 as a primary teacher but now left in mid air!! Would be grateful if anyone could give us further information. However, I feel that we are just dependent upon new vacancies appearing later in the year!!

Re: WA 457 When are we due an update
Hi, unfortunately nobody can make any decisions on when to bring you out as yet. Due to unforseen economic conditions and very recently immigration minister said Australia priority is protecting Australian jobs.
So DET is in difficult position as Immigration wants to protect its citizens. I know its difficult for you all, but recession worries are now here in Australia. It would be irresponsible for them to bring you out if they could not guarantee long term job or may have issues with new visa regs. Sorry, its not the news you want but you will need to sit and wait it out. Gems |

Re: WA 457 When are we due an update
I have had an email from DETWA saying they will get back to me when they have news about the current situation....anyone had this email? Or was it only to those who had been interviewed and hadnt had a complete application ( in my case thanks to a narky Head not doing a reference on time....)
Yeah well am continuing at the school and do enjoy it. Maybe Oz wasnt meant to be! |
Re: WA 457 When are we due an update
its all change with secondary teachers, new visa, new oppertunities.

Re: WA 457 When are we due an update
I was due out in jan 2010, primary teacher. Had same email mentioning about a likely change of visa. Sys they are still committed to employing me, but they can't say when. Hoping for news soon.

Re: WA 457 When are we due an update
I was also due to go out in Jan 2010 as a primary teacher. Had email about no vacancies due to economic situation etc. not told anything about new visa though!!! My application is complete and they said that they will let me know when situation changes. Still a bit confused though as DET website still has no updates on it about current situation and states that they will still require primary teachers from Jan 2010!!
