I have a feeling this is going to involve a lot of paperwork.

That moment when you don't know what the hell is going on

The thing with AAON is that they rarely reply to your email unless it's a matter of life and death. JK I could just remember being frustrated because they wouldn't answer my emails and the BP was starting in a few weeks. I think there are more appli...

Just paying it forward :) I wanted to wait until I get my registration and a job before I summarize my experience lol

It's fine. I had a lot of questions too lol. Yes, I did include it in my gaps in work. But I did have 3 months of volunteer experience which I listed down in my work experience since I was given a certificate. Try to make sure you get something like ...

Thanks and yup, same one :)

It's best to complete the vaccination form as they will ask for it :)

cummulus, i remember your username lol. i have a friend who's also in IHNA august intake. good luck with your clinicals

How do we follow up our visa? I tried calling up the 17xx xxxx xxx number but they could not tell me the status of my applicaton

Do I have to book roundtrip tickets?

Just go to immi.gov.au and pick your visa type. Follow the instructions on the forms

How long after your medicals are sent will your visa be approved? I really, really want to know. Please

I don't think they do but I'm not sure

glitz: thank you! i also answered self-employed lol. i hope i can get a multiple visa. by the way, have you already planned what you're going to do after the BP? You'll probably come back and go back to aus because you got multiple entry right? lol

Oh no.. what did you answer here? lol and btw, did you get a multiple entry visa? :)

Go to a new doctor and ask if you can have adult doses even though you might have had them as a baby- is what I meant

if you had those shots as a baby, ask your doctor if you can have them again now. they usually still give adult doses. the titer is usually more expensive than the actual vaccine

i have a watch with an alarm so i use that. it's easier to keep track of things especially when your tasks do not exactly fall on the hour but some random time like 3:48 lol

Finding accommodation on gumtree - how do you know who to trust? lol

i paid $120 for my OSHC but it was the school who arranged it.

I guess we can bring some medications. No word on vitamins but I'm thinking it's fine lol. Found this: Entering Australia (additional info aside from the link silverdragon posted. Thanks for that btw)

I'm also planning to bring lots of medications lol. Btw, do they check the content of your laptop?

I sent my visa app through VIA may 2. Until now, I haven't received any confirmation? Is this normal? Is there a way to check the status of my application online? Thanks!
