Hello

I’ve volunteered across various hospitals and health centers for Public health. Now I’d like to do an MSc in Public health in Australia. I’ve found a school but one of the requirements is that I should have work experience from a healthcare setting for at least one year.

Do I qualify for this? Being a volunteer? I do go 2-3 times a week. My agent says it will fly. I don’t know.

Please respond.
Thanks

Generally, work experience refers to paid employment, and volunteering may not always meet the criteria. However, if the requirement is related to providing details in gaps of studies and work for Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) purposes then volunteering could be considered as a gap. We enrolled a student who was fresh from university without prior work experience last year, she studied biochemistry in Nigeria and she's currently studying Public Health . It would be best to clarify the specific requirement with the school or seek advice from your agent accordingly.

Boss, I have a question... Can I pm you?

I appreciate your interest in reaching out to me privately. However, I regret to inform you that I can't accept private messages at this time. Lately, I've been receiving an influx of spam messages, which has made it challenging for me to manage my email and phone communications effectively.

I'm more than happy to assist you right here on the forum and share my knowledge with the community.

Please feel free to ask any questions or seek assistance in the public forum, and I'll do my best to provide you with the information you need. Thank you for your understanding!

Good morning sir,My Wife is a registered Nurse here in Nigeria and am a Business man,we planned to relocate to UK to acquire some work knowledge before moving to Australia from from there.Which she wants to be practicing Nurse career there, while I do Care work.Pls is there A good number of Job opportunities for overseas Nurse and Careers in Australia?.Pls reply.Thanks.

To practice as a nurse in Australia, one will need to be registered as a registered nurse in Australia. You can find out more about the registration process and requirements via https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/.

While there are significant job opportunities in the nursing sector, it's important to note that it is a highly regulated industry. Compliance with the regulations and meeting the necessary qualifications is imperative for a successful and fulfilling nursing career in Australia.

Please can a statement of account from a microfinance Bank be used as SOP?

The simple answer na yes, the long answer be say it depends if them never abuse ham, but hear me first, e get this microfinance bank way many of our people for naija dey use as POF take apply for Australia, I no want call their name in case some of us wei don apply for visa use them already , as you know our people them go use something till them abuse ham till e cast.

Take for example, as immigration , for all the bank way dey naija na only one mic bank dey take 70-80% of POF , e dey easy make them suspect say something wrong.

my advise be say ask well if them never abuse ham, how you go take know if 2 or 3 persons dey offer that same thing to you

In that case, I would suggest that you consider applying for the entire family. This way, your wife will have the opportunity to study while you work and take care of the family.

Additionally, it's important to ensure that both of you are proficient in driving and possess valid driver's licenses in Nigeria. Acquiring a driver's license in Australia is a time-consuming process, and many job opportunities here require driving skiills and for you to own a car.

Furthermore, as a family, having a car is essential. You will find that the majority of the time you'll need to visit shops for groceries, attend hospital appointments, and take care of various daily tasks. Relying solely on the public transportation system may not be practical for these needs.

Thank you all for the helpful response on this platform.

Please I don't want to ruin v|sa appr©val, I have a child and my wife is the ma|n @pplicant for sπudy V|sa, I wish to go with her and we return later for our ch!ld us!ng the ch!ld as a hom£ ti£ ,will that be convincing enough to the √o as h@me t!es or I should stay back and we apply d@pend@nt vi$a when she commence her studies

Please I need response for proper guidance 🙏

E dey depend on your situation. If you fit show say you go fit dey take care of the whole family throughout the time wey she go dey study for Australia, then apply for the whole family. If no be so, just apply for your wife and pikin.

Make I just let you just know, to study for Australia and you get pikin without enough support( you or someone to help take care of pikin or pikin them ) fit dey somehow hard. Except say them don mature well make them fit go school, like five years plus, or you fit afford daycare.

No forget say your wife to school fulltime, so most of the time she go dey school , so some body need to be with your child/dren

Wrap46:
Yeah I have gone through the site but still can’t apply for it online as I no Dey naija. I meant to ask if anyone know someone in Lagos that can facilitate police report for someone who isn’t in the country ?

It's not feasible for another person to complete the police report or certificate on your behalf because your thumbprint is required. I'm uncertain about the necessity of such a report for a student visa; as far as I know, it's not a mandatory requirement.

Pls is it possible to apply for MSC in Australia without taking IELTS., if yes?
Which university offers such package

This underscores the importance of providing English proficiency scores in your application, as it can spare you the inconvenience of numerous rejected applications and the need to repeatedly clarify your English language skills. For those seeking to study in Australia, I strongly advise completing English proficiency exams and obtaining a commendable grade.

An Australian student visa permits work while pursuing your studies. It is not mandatory for students to purchase a return ticket unless more cost-effective than a one-way flight. The cost of the flight is depends on its availability and your chosen travel date.

While it is technically possible to gain admission without an IELTS score, not having an IELTS score significantly diminishes your prospects of securing admission. This situation often entails increased effort and workload for both you and your representatives(agent).

Justice4638:
Hello house.

Pls what are my chances of getting a visa for an undergraduate course in Australia after completing my undergrad here in Nigeria because some agents I contacted said the chances are slim because of career progression.

Thank you🙏

They're absolutely correct; it may be challenging to convince the immigration authorities that you intend to pursue undergraduate studies when you have already completed your undergraduate studies in Nigeria.

While it's relatively common for individuals to pursue multiple master's degrees, it is rare and often unconvincing for someone to obtain multiple first-degree qualifications.

frank2zee:
Please can someone attend to this question for me...thank you.

I may not have information about the agency that processed his/her application, but I am certain that you have the option to be a self-sponsored applicant. Typically, for self-sponsorship, you'll need to demonstrate either of the following:

1. A sustainable business or a consistent source of income that will continue to generate funds while you're in Australia.
2. Sufficient combined proof of funds to support your studies and living expenses in Australia for the duration of your studies

In the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) assessment, the Department considers several factors to evaluate the authenticity of the applicant's intentions. Some of the key elements they check for include:

1. Whether the account holding the funds is registered in the applicant's name.
2. The relationship of third parties to the applicant and the account holder, such as whether they are relatives.
3. Whether the funds represent a lump sum payment in an account or if there is a history of savings demonstrating the gradual accumulation of the required funds. This analysis extends to the source of third-party "donations" or "loans."
4. The duration for which the money has been held in the account.
5. The location of the account, including whether it is held within Australia or in a country where transferring large sums of money internationally is restricted.
6. If the funds are deposited outside Australia, whether there is evidence indicating that the exchange control regulations of that country allow for the remittance of funds for educational purposes, and, if necessary, whether there is documentation demonstrating the requisite approval.
7. The applicant's age.
8. The unique circumstances of the applicant's family.

These considerations collectively help in evaluating the applicant's commitment and sincerity in pursuing their intended studies in Australia.

Tekena124:
Hi all,

I’m currently on the verge of paying my spouse tuition (First deposit) for an Msc in Food science at Western Sydney University (March intake)

Any one with clues on how tuition can be payed; especially those who recently paid theirs recently because the rate on flywire-a payment platform which the UNI recommended appears to be staggering high.

Did you get someone in Australia to make payment on your behalf. Black market rate? Cosmo remit?

I will welcome any suggestions or advice?

Thanks.

We're delighted to assist with your tuition payment. Our service charge fee is AUD 300, and the rate is AUD 653. Please note that the rate is flexible and subject to change based on the daily exchange rate.

Gista01:
Good evening All, please is it possible to get to Australia after orientation week. Visa came out yesterday and flight tickets is crazy. The cheapest I am getting is late October after my school orientation week.

If you happen to miss classes, catching up can become quite challenging, and there's a higher risk of falling behind academically. I would strongly suggest considering arriving on time and then, if necessary, deferring your admission. Generally, it's advisable to be fully settled in Australia at least 2-3 weeks before your program's start date. Most educational institutions are unlikely to allow enrollment if you miss the first 1-2 weeks, as catching up can be extremely difficult due to the workload.

In the Australian education system, assessments begin right from day one, and the completion of previous assessments is often a prerequisite for receiving new ones. This means that if you miss any assignments or assessments early on, it can lead to a significant backlog of work. Additionally, it's essential to consider the logistics of settling down when you arrive, such as arranging accommodation, transportation, insurance, and other essential matters. Trying to manage all of these responsibilities on top of your academic workload can be overwhelming.

desertboom:
Can we talk about the best city to study, live and work?

Can someone recommend one?

The concept of the "best" city is subjective, and what matters most is finding a place that suits your preferences and needs. I have had the opportunity to reside in nearly all major cities in Australia, and I have discovered that Melbourne is more friendly, particularly for individuals of African descent like myself, feels more welcoming and familiar. Aside from Melbourne, I found Queensland to be another location in Australia that holds a special appeal and is easy to integrate.

You can survive anywhere in Australia, however these cities are more friendly to Africans in my experience

afam4life:
My candid advice to you guys, pick a school that offers 2years and above course.

I won't recommend schools in Perth is you have to work, getting a job in Perth is difficult as a student. The rest are fine so long tuition fee is less than 40k per annum .

NICOSIA:
Please I urgently need help. I am traveling to Melbourne in 4 weeks and I do not have a accommodation yet. Can someone help me with information on how I can get a affordable accommodation 1 room with private bathroom.
Your help will be really appreciated.

Getting accomodation from offshore is extremely difficult . No one wants to do that due to the way Australia works.

I would recommend getting a paid hotel for 1 or 2 days and when you arrive I can share your details with friends in Melbourne to help guild you.

DutanTheThird:
Hi people,

Please, help me a couple of questions.
1. What do I need to apply for student visa for a full-funded phd program to Australia?
2. I will be getting my CoE and oshc proof this week. Do I do biometrics & medicals before visa application?
3. Please, what’s this GTE thing and at what stage do I need it?

I will appreciate any more info. Thanks

Just to clarify, GTE is a requirement for the issuance of CoE and you can only get OSHC when your CoE is out.

If you're applying from Nigeria, after an offer of admission , you'll apply for GTE with all requirements specified by the University.
If GTE is approved, then you'll pay for tuition and OSHC(Most schools require OSHC before they issue CoE)
Thereafter, you'll be issued CoE
Then you can apply for visa
Then Medical and Biometric
Then arrive Australia [color=#000099][/color]

So simple right ?

tochi0155:
Please house is IELT result compulsory in all austrialia university admission documenst and if not, which universities ?

English test is an immigration requirement, again it increases your chances of securing admission as you'll be competing with thousands/millions of students that meets the requirements and have English test.

Not enough reason unfortunately . Your statement should convince anyone that you are a Genuine student and you're mainly coming to Australia to study.
