Hi guys!
Ive found this this thread really useful since I started trying to get myself sorted for oz, but Ive a few questions if any of you can help; Is limited registration still limited to certain states (NSW/VIC etc) or is it now for all of them as its been made statewide? When applying for your work visa what hospitals do you say you're going to be entering when you don't know where you're going to be working (and to apply for jobs you need a visa)? Do you really have to get a full medical/HIV/Hep B+C test along with the chest Xray as apart of the visa requirements as there seems to be lots of conflicting info about this?!

Any help anyone could give would be brilliant, I feel like Im drowning in forms!

Hi Laura
Regarding the medical stuff I had been under the impression we had to undergo all of that as well as part of the visa conditions but I got mine granted without any condition. I even contacted the London office of Aus Immigration to make sure and they said if I was granted it then that was it. I don't know about the states with/without limited reg as I assumed it was statewide with the new national board...sorry!
All the paperwork is pretty frustrating and you begin to think if it's worth it sometimes...they really don't make it easy!!
Good luck with it!!

PS I didn't state any hospital on visa application just said I was a physio searching for work so didn't know yet
