Curious does anyone know what the average starting salaries are for new grads? I know that AU and NZ are two different countries, but more curious about in AU. I know that in the States, CA in specific, the new grad's pay ranges from USD$35/hr to USD$48/hr or more, depending if it's northern or southern parts, depends on where you live and of course, each city has its cost of living that tries to match the salary.

Hello there, I actually did not believe that the australian embassy would give nurses like us who would undergo a bridging program a single entry visa for the 456 category. Your case is sad news:(, I hope you can find a way to extend your stay in australia after the BP. Anyway, I am in the waiting list for the October intake also in IHNA Perth. I am really hoping that IHNA would be able to give me a slot. Are you done with your online course?

Thanx ajlynx16 for your concern. Ya I too hope that God give me some way to extend my stay there and all the best to you too for October intake. No I am still not done with the online course. Intending to complete before my course starts

If your visa clearly states that it is for one entry only and has the 8503 restriction on it you may have much difficulty in getting another visa without returning home first.

No, fortunately I don't have any such restriction.

Guys, please don't post questions and answers you receive when going for visas. Everyone should answer honestly with the visa officer as if caught could have more serious consequences later one. You should never lie to immigration

Lucky you! :) I've done the same thing last July too but no letter of offer yet. Did you apply all by yourself at ETEA?
