Depends on what the person earns lor. If he/she on $20 per hour, then not worth it at all.
If earning $50 per hour, can still consider (but by the same token, yr benefits would be significantly reduced if u earn so much...)
Maybe it works out for people who really do not have any other choice.

From what I understand new nurses hard to get in, but once gained experience it is a stable job and not subject to fluctuations like other professions. Ppl will always get sick and old.

The good thing abt nursing is they do not need to live in exxy Syd or Melb, regional centres also looking for nurses.

For permanent positions, profession is covered by unions. For contract, pay is quite good.

UGL ada kerja? Baru kena takeover...

As long as you return to Oz b4 visa expires, you dont need to renew it.
A RRV costs $300+ for five years (if u fulfilled the 2 yrs cumulative stay). Otherwise its $300+ for one year.

It seems that Citibank MY really does not want new business.
Now, I can qualify for Citi Gold, and I even went, cheque in hand, to open account.
-- Oh no sir, if you r Oz PR, u must provide proof.
-- Oh no sir, it doesnt matter if u hv existing cheque account, must still get reference from another existing acc holder.
-- Oh no sir, you can apply but its not approved, needs few days, u come back to branch if approved.
This is the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn branch.

Go to local bank:
- Takes IC.
- Fills in all forms.
- Account opened, debit card issued immediately.

Frugal? U mean people are careful with their money?

Well, how do you define a good life and what expectations do u have?

Abalone and lobsters every night?

5 star holidays?

Or work life balance, an adequate education and health system, time with your family?

Can assure you established migrants lead very comfortable lives.

Wow! You must have ducted heating on 24x7 and have 1 hour showers!!
I would have thought $500 per quarter was reasonable but $500 a month....

Maybe u need to revisit yr gas retailer...

Personally, I survive on a single wall heater and we only leave it on 5 hours a day.
Bill comes up to $150 per month max, and always less than $100 during non-winter months.

Perhaps the most shocking thing will be the rent. Rental market is competitive and the rates astronomical.
Good luck for the job search. Find a short term course and take it, get some local qualifications - that may help u secure interim jobs.

Can speak MANDARIN, read and write you can ALSO get a job.

U r entitled to work 20 hours LEGALLY on a student visa.
Use your Google Fu to look for jobs in Oz.

Maybe if u look like Brad Pitt or Wang Leehom....
Seriously the number of companies here catering for the mainlanders...Chinese is a good language to know. Bonus points if u bilingual.

Eh...u dont know the cost of a spouse visa? Plus agent fees?
Almost $20K wet wet water.
Plus somemore the amount of paper work u hv to do...proof of relationship, testimonials etc...not so easy leh

With student visa, u may be can enrol for TAFE course...a few k AUD...get AU qualification, then apply PR

Even easier still if u hv $1.8 million AUD....can 'buy' your PR

Yes lor...very expensive...dont play play...
of course they had to tighten the rules as some ppl abused the system...

Yes, premium investor is 5 mil, with the $$$ being the key requirement. All rich Cinapek can apply, no need know how to speak English oso can /s

If they pay u $11/hr, its cash only and ILLEGAL.
Min wage for adults is $17++ per hour (excluding penalty rates).
You can report them to the authorities and they can get into big trouble.
Recent bad publicity for 7-11, Mamak and PappaRich underpaying their staff.

It may be a bummer, but
1. if u can afford to study there, the assumption is that u will not need to work...
2. it protects the locals who normally get their first jobs, which is fair enough. The gommen needs to protect its own people.
