not from Mt. Isa. Place is a mining region. You have the chance, suggest you take it and you won't regret. Make sure lang po na legit lahat ng offer sa inyo. More than 2 hours flight from Brisbane and almost a day travel by land, so mahaba habang travel.
Is your offer a private or from the Queensland Health?

Hello po, sorry po if out of topic.
Ano po ang recommended transportation from Brisbane airport to Gold Coast during this pandemic? (Plane, Train, Bus, Others?)
First time ko palang po kasi sa Queensland.
Salamat po sa mga sasagot. God bless. 🙏

you can definitely travel there by train and bus para mas less costly, by plane would be much more time efficient though...
all the best po!

@datini,
tama po si @baiken, proper research lang po needed. But, if you're saying na from QLD health, maganda po un. Direct hire po ba? May agency po ba na mag process or DIY? QLD needs a lot of med professional at this time lalo na po sa regional areas

@Crischu,
may train po to Gold Coast, pwede din taxi (costly) or may bus services din. Train is through Brisbane (main terminal) then to GC. Bus services, i think is direct to GC. Bus link below:

Direct hire naman po. Sabi nga dn ng iba, kng government naman e mas okay. Sana po magtuloy2.
Anyway, meron po ako question about PR points baka sakaling alam niyo po sagot. 3 months na kasi akong working as an EN pero RN po ako. Sa pag claim ba ng points sa Australian work experience e maccredit ung EN na role or hndi? Thanks po.

@Crischu,
Complete na po ba ang mga papers/documents nyo relative to your employment? Ano pong border pass ang required? Is your employer helping you secure this pass?
heads up lang po; upon arrival in BNE, AU authority will pick everyone and bring to a hotel/accommodation for the mandatory 14 days quarantine. Unless mag ease ang restriction within this coming month(s).
Aware po ba kayo na you will be shouldering all expenses incurred in your quarantine? Correct me if i'm wrong.
salamat,

Hi po sa lahat. Question lang regarding sa pagprovide ng docs. Wala kasi akong contract sa agency ko ngayon pero nagwwork ako as RN for the past 4 months dito sa Oz. Kng sakali ba sa visa pwdeng statement of service lang at payslip ang iprovide or need tlg nung contract? Pwde daw kasi nila iprovide ung statement of service e. TIA.

@sensei Hi, sorry for the late reply. Currently looking for employer pa po. Not sure about sa border pass.
Aware din po ako for the quarantine expenses when I arrive at QLD.
Salamat po sa info. I will share my experience if ever po makarating na ng QLD. For now, nagbabasa lng din muna from other people's stories.

sadly, di ganun ka-generous si QLD when it comes to state sponsorship... di nila dinidisclose kung ano ang basis nila for invites, we can only hope and pray na mag-ease up na ang restrictions lalo na at parati na ang vaccine!!!
all the best po!

Good day!
Ask ko lang po sana..for example po ba under ako ng 491 Skilled work regional visa under Queensland, puede pa din po ba mag apply ng work sa ibang states considering under siya ng regional areas?.
Maraming Salamat po..

Hello, magtatanong lang po. due to my current visa hindi po kasi makaprovide ang employer ko ng 12months contract. Halimbawa kung yung BSMQ invite ay February 2021 dapat yung contract until February 2022, pero dahil lagpas na yung February 2022 sa validity ng visa ko hindi ako mabigyan ng contract na 12months.
Meron po ba ibang way para mameet ang requirement na 'further 12months employment' ?
Salamat ng marami.

I believe if you get sponsored by QLD for a 491 visa, you will need to stay in regional areas of QLD, and you can't apply for any other skilled PR visas for the first 3 years of the 491 visa.
