Hi!

how are u? are u done with the BP?

I just need help on how to apply at La Trobe. I'm looking to do the BP on the earliest available intake next year (2013). I emailed them a couple of times already asking for details on the application process, but haven't received a reply yet. I'm also a bit unsure which are the right forms to dl and fill up.

Firstly, Did u send you're application by email or by post?

If it's easier/convenient for u, u can pop me an email. Here's my email address: [email protected]

I actually have a few other questions. Really, really hoping u can share youre experience on how u applied at La Trobe.:)

Thanks a lot!

Hi. The earliest intake for La Trobe next year wud be January 2013. Unfortunately, as I have been informed, January intake is already closed. The next intake wud be on June 2013.

Regarding the application process, I just downloaded their application form from their website and submitted it to IDP Manila. I practically did not do anything and let them handle all the procedures. :)

Sorry about that, I am not well aware with the different visa being used. All I know is Subclass 575 allows multiple entry, 40 hours work per fortnight, and given for short term courses (like the Bridging Program).

For subclass 456, you can try this link on the DIAC website:

If you have enough funds then you can stay near the school or institution

Hi Mylo_b! I'm also planning on having my BP at mercy health on next year's first batch, with the interview happening on November. Could you please give me tips and advice on how the interview went and the questions that were asked? Thanks a lot!
