Nurse: Regional or Melbourne?

Any advice po to which area to choose.
No child yet.
Husband taking bridging soon.
I understand that it should be based on lifestyle.
My friend said choose Melby as entry then transfer to regional area in few years.
Salary in regional areas is higher daw po.

Thank you so much.

Anyone got invited by VIC government recently and an IT professional? I am currently at 65 points, is there a chance for me to get invited. Do you advise to have my wife get assessment and claim 5 points from her? We are both on the same ANZSCO Code.

@aron_drn thank u sir sa info pabasa ko to sa husband ko

RheaMARN1171933 · August 2018

@Pandabelle0405 @aron_drn this isn’t something required for all engineers though. It’s more a requirement for employers to comply. Not all engineers have to register

@RheaMARN1171933 thank u mam

aron_drn · August 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 Hopefully they will not implement in VIC.
unlike Queensland they required to gain State sponsor and working in QLD must registered Professional Engineer in QLD through RPEQ by EA NER registration.

""""""Victoria is poised to follow Queensland’s lead, with the introduction of the Engineers Registration Bill to state parliament yesterday. If passed, the bill will introduce a state-wide mandatory registration system for engineers providing professional services in Victoria or exporting their services from the state."""""""

*********************************************************************************************

The importance of the engineering profession is one step closer to being recognised in Victorian legislation, with the introduction of a bill to highlight the critical nature of engineering skills and increase public confidence.

Unlike many parts of Asia, the US and Europe, the term ‘engineer’, and the training, experience and proven professional competence it entails does not have national statutory protection in Australia.

Currently, Queensland is the only state of territory with a comprehensive registration scheme for engineer.

Victoria is poised to follow Queensland’s lead, with the introduction of the Engineers Registration Bill to state parliament yesterday. If passed, the bill will introduce a state-wide mandatory registration system for engineers providing professional services in Victoria or exporting their services from the state.

According to Engineers Australia CEO Peter McIntyre, the organisation has been working closely with the Victorian Government to ensure that the legislation provides industry, the community and government that engineers in Victoria are qualified and working to professional standards.

McIntyre stated that this will bring us into line with global efforts to establish the reputation of engineering as a critical profession.

"Many countries see engineering as a critical profession, whose practitioners are recognised and registered by government.”

The Victorian and Queensland governments are working to introduce mutual recognition between the two states’ schemes once the Victorian legislation has passed.

In Queensland, engineers use the National Engineering Register (NER) as a pathway to government registration. McIntyre expects that Victoria, and other states and territories who subsequently adopt mandatory registration, will follow a similar path.

McIntyre encouraged engineers to register on the NER before the Victorian legislation takes effect.

"The NER not only fulfils engineers’ professional practice obligations, but showcases their capabilities to prospective employers and consumers of engineering services," McIntyre said.

The introduction of mandatory registration for engineers will not only recognise the importance of the profession, but reduce the risks of work that does not meet professional standards.

"Risks may include increased construction and rectification costs, litigation expenses, lost production and injury or death,” McIntyre explained.

Unlike professions like law and medicine, there is currently no national provision to prevent engineers from practicing due to professional negligence.

While consistent national legislation to introduce mandatory registration for engineers is yet to be achieved, McIntyre said that the NER provides important information about professionals who have chosen to register.

“Engineers Australia’s NER will provide information about expected professional standards and whether engineers have the requisite professional practices that support the services they offer," he said.

The second reading of the Engineers Registration Bill was moved in the Victorian Parliament today and the bill has now been made publically available on the Victorian Legislation and Parliamentary Documents website.

RheaMARN1171933 · August 2018

@aron_drn like what I explained in that link, not all will be required. One can still Work as an engineer as long as there is someone within the company/their department who is registered. The only possibility that this legislation may affect aspiring migrants are those looking at sponsorship from Victoria, should the state does the same as What Queensland requires. However, nomination requirements for Victoria are more realistic than Queensland so hopefully it won’t be the case.

aron_drn · August 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 .. What if the Bill pass and VIC will implement to all aspiring migrants for Engineers registration. I have read your comment in Engineer Australia section you mention that:

" Have a look at job ads for engineering particularly in Queensland, there is no mention of registration being required at all. " this is was you have mentioned. ;-)

https://www.seek.com.au/job/37043974?type=standout
Check this website for your information. ( Professional ENGINEER is a must RPEQ)

This is what I'm trying to point out for future application that VIC as you have mention may implement this rule ( if approved)
Why I shared the information for fellow Engineers.. so that they are aware that in the near future it may coz changes in the requirements.. no one can predict the scenario in migration. If VIC doesn't want to implement the registration then is good for aspiring migrant but if they implement then all engineers must comply to the requirements.

I'm not trying to debate with you, I'm sharing to fellow Engineers ;-) Cheers

Visa 189 for Engineers is competitive and under prorate occupation therefore the plan B is go for state nomination.

RheaMARN1171933 · August 2018

@aron_drn please see link below. Apparently, it’s already implemented...

http://www.professionalengineers.org.au/registration-victoria-need-know/

There is an emphasis on engineers without supervision in that link. So registration would be more for those “top dogs” within the company as previously explained.

So far, Victoria has not imposed this on aspiring 190 and 489 migrants, we agents would otherwise be aware about it.

RheaMARN1171933 · August 2018

@aron_drn I’m also not trying to debate, there is no need for me to do that. I’m actually trying to calm things down and not to worry people much about it. Yes, it may be a possibility but there’s no point worrying about something we can’t control. If so, then so be it but that is not the case at the moment so just carry on then

aron_drn · August 2018

Yup... I agree with you they have implemented on this, APEA is one organisation that verify and asses Professional Engineers the same with Engineers Australia or EA.

Just that Victoria at the present time dont implement in VISA 190 and 489 requirements which is good for Offshore and Onshore Engineers.

RheaMARN1171933 · August 2018

@aron_drn that’s correct so if I would have been your agent, I would just advice you to carry on then. The whole process itself is so stressful enough for applicants. It was already a stressful journey for me over 10 years ago so I could imagine how much more it is now. Good luck on your Australian journey.

Pandabelle0405 · September 2018

maguero · September 2018

@cyborg5 Kailangan ng job offer sa Vic pag 489. Too yung nasa website nila

To apply for Victorian visa nomination under the Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) you must have a current job offer in your nominated occupation within a regional area of Victoria.
