Australian last written exam

[connie]

Hi Emmanuela, I have passed my clinical exam March 2007 and came to Australia in May 2007 to do the clinical exam in South Australia with the hope that i will do the 6 weeks clinical work before the exam. My problem is, no hospitals in South Australia have an opening for me to do the supervised clinical service before the actual exam. what is more frustrating is that our immigration is tied to South Australia, my husband got a skilled immigration to South Australia and as his spouse I have spouse visa. Now I can't get out of rural South Australia to look for clinical placement in other state. I need to get exposure to other area of physiotherapy, I have experience in Neurological physiotherapy and I feel if I don't get to do clinical service in other areas of physiotherapy i will be at dissadvantage to fail the exam. I am realy pissed! Do you know what I can do or know of anyone in South Australia who can help me with that?. thanks

Hi Connie,

are you sure that as a spouse you can't leave the regional area? I'm not expert in regional migration, but to my knowledge any other visa I know allow dependants to do what they want. I know people sponsored in the city that are obliged to respect the restrictions of the visa, but their wives can work as normal Australians. Same thing for students husbands'wives and so on.

Certainly, in a rurale area there is not much to get in term of placements. Also the problem is appearing in every city. Placements are rare and some are expensive. Many people are complaining about that especially in NSW, VIC and QLD.

Are you part of our study group? I personally don't think we have people in SA at the moment who is involved in the process. We used to have. But can you then get a placement in Adelaide for example?

Let me know, I might try to find someone of the old candidates over there and ask for info. Also make sure you are not allowed to travel to another States.

Hi Connie,

there are some people in our group who is living in SA and looking for a placement. Are you part of Aapta group? If not, let me know and I'll let you join and you'll be able to chat with these people in our forum.
