I sent my application off in January they started looking at it in April and 2wks later I got my license. I then sent everything off for the hospital to get my visa, which is being processed now.

 

Ive got a job on the children's ward.

Sorry for cutting in on you.

We are off to Perth a week on Monday and are staying in Freo. I'm only a HCA and I'm having trouble finding hospital work as a HCA. They only seem to work in nusring homes.

Hiya, I don't know much about it, but when I was being interviewed, I was told that HCA's were just being introduced to the hospitals and the ward which the interview was for had just taken on 2.....now excuse me, cos i'm just in from nightshift and i am wrecked....but it was either fremantle or royal perth hospital in shenton park

sorry can't remember which one.....i'd contact both if you havent already!

Hi Yvonne,

 

Im the same as Alison, from what I understand HCA's are a new thing they are introducing over there.

 

Hope you have a good trip!

Hi all im a RN in Perth.

with regards to HCAs-we have plenty of them (and usually jobs going to) but they are often called PCAs here (patient care assistants).

Hi Alison, nursing is pretty much the same except the drug names (i spend hours searching the small print on the boxes trying to find a name i recognise!) and of course half the healthcare here is private (alot more accesable than the UK). I have found some of the equipment more advanced (prob because they have more money than the NHS). There are lots of little things that are different, like some of the controlled drugs back in the UK are not classed as controlled here. And we have ENs which are like half trained nurses (they do 18months training) so can give meds but not do other things.

With regards to visa application, if you are going on a sponsored visa (457) through the hospital they usually employ a migration agent to communicate with you and tell you what you need to do every step of the way.

Hi Alison,

 

The hospital are getting my visa. They have forwarded me all the forms I needed and I just sent them back. They are a really friendly and helpful bunch that I have dealt with at Freo hospital.

 

Andy

 

hi mort,

just wondering....do the hospital do the visa application or do you do it yourself?

Hi there...help, I'm confused and thought I'd ask you about it!!!

I have my contract from Freo but I was told to wait for an e-mail with a trn on it and to follow instructions then send it back.......that was 2 weeks ago now and I ain't heard a thing!!

What happened with you...was it the same, if so am I on the right track?
