    for what intake are you? not a lot of part time jobs here in Bendigo especially if it's not school break. It's also not feasible coz you will be at the Uni whole day and your placement is shift hours at the aged care or hospital..... most of the jobs here ask you for permanent days where you can work like if you say i can only work MOndays, etc..... you can try to look for weekend jobs but then again most of the Uni students also work weekends....so basically, competing with current students already....

    maybe after your course , if you get the ealry exit you can find a job...

    for accomodation, i can give some suggestions..just pm me

    I'm just thinking at which bridging program is better? I'm looking into either La Trobe @ bendigo or Deakin @ burwood. Any thoughts on this?
    to be honest, it doesn't matter....hospitals just look at your license not from which school you came from so it's very different from the PHilippines where the school matters....

    bendigo is 2 hrs by train away from Melbourne and Deakin is closer to Melbourne.... either of the schools are good coz they follow the same standards required by AHPRA....probably the edge of la Trobe Bendigo is your placement is still within Bendigo while Deakin i heard puts you in different hosptials which could sometimes mean you have to look for accomodation close to that hospital if you do't want to be commuting after your 10pm shift

    Hi. Uhmn, I lodge mine March 26.
    Got a go signal for medical exam March 28 or 29 (not sure)
    Done with Medicals April 4
    Posted my results online April 11 (it was delayed due to holyweek)
    Emailed embassy re: update on visa April 17
    Embassy asking me for IELTS results (because I took another one last March 31) April 18
    Replied and plead and beg (hehe) April 19
    Got my visa April 23.

    So there 28 days in total. But I think it would really depend on your case officer.
    Hello glitzdelight!:spin:

    Thank you for sharing the time frame of your visa application. I hope mine would have a positive result in an earlier time since my bridging course is fast approaching. May I know what were the medical examinations included? Thank you.
