Yes. A simple google search with the correct keywords will yield all important and relevant info. But like I said, you didn't hear it from me and it's risky but do-able, if one is smart enough.

i think discussion like this should stay in PM

Agreed. Hence the 'simple Google search with correct keywords' phrase

hi all,

my wife (who has a general bachelor degree but no working experience) is eager to settle in Australia for a few years (she is 40)

reading through a bit in the forum, i guess it will be a no go but i see a lot of people are saying nursing is in high demand in Australia and would easily get in

1. is this situation still valid?
2. if yes, if she graduate from nursing school with no experience, can get a job there? or experience is a must?
3. any idea where to ask or where to look for more details?
4. can really survive with just a nursing job?

thanks for your assistance

Damn, the above information is quite worrying for a junior guy like me...

depends on what visa you are applying, if you are going via skilled migration, you won't get any points for work experience but you will for the degree, as long as you have 60 points, you are good to go
info overload here

and job security is a subjective thing... some find one in a week, some take 6 months...

and survival is also subjective to individual lifestyle...

thanks for the info

are there any valid agency in malaysia we can ask?

because my wife plan to take up a course for this sole purpose. we don't want to waste her effort and money

plenty, they will first go through your profile and see which visa suits you, usually the first consultation is free...

choose wisely and ensure the agent is a certified MARA agent

be clear on your purpose of going to Aussie else it will be difficult to choose since there are over 100 visa options

yeah sure. thanks

where to look for these agency which are based in malaysia?

just google, you'll get plenty in klang valley... be sure to read forums also because some will comment of slow service and false promises

ok. thanks for the info

btw, how to know if they are MARA certified?

Anyone here working or familiar with the gaming/casino industry in Australia? How's the environment like?

I know a bit. Pubs and clubs in all states except WA have slot machines. The smaller ones open til 11pm, some up to 4am. Casinos, 1 in every state (2 or 3 in QLD) open 24x7.
To work with slots u need to get a RSG (Responsible Service of Gaming) license. One day only. Then u can start work.
With casinos, they advertise online n there is a group interview. Have to be quick w mental arithmetic. Once approve they will train u to deal different games. A few years back Crown Melbourne paid $27 ph if u knew a few games ie backpack, baccarat, poker etc)

With casinos sometimes u hv to work d graveyard shift.

Crown Melb provides meals, uniforms n discounted parking.

Not the best in Perth now. Construction is the same unless you are talking about labourer.
