Do you mean that he can work and finance his nursing studies in Australia?

bossladyMo:


What is TPP?

bossladyMo:
Many Nigerians here are in healthcare. I have never seen or heatd of ao many male Nigerian nurses in my life lol...and they are doing well. You know Nigerians can hustle and are hardworking....willing to eork weekends and public hols, compared to their counterparts...and the pay per hr on weekends and public hols is different from ordinary time...so you can imagine. That is why when you see a Nigerian nurse, and a citizen nurse, you wonder if it is the same job they do...cos Nigerians put in more hrs.

bossladyMo:


Must have missed it....pls quote it.

UBKtech:


I believe TTP is stands for Transition to Professional Practice, it is a program for graduate nurses to develop skills and competencies required in the Australian workplace. I want to believe the person involved already have at least a Diploma qualification in Nursing and would need do a TPP before proceeding for Bachelors in Nursing.

The good thing is that, he might be able to get a job on 447 visa after the TPP without studying further. Though regional areas would have been the best place to this, as there is as always, an oversupply of qualified people in the cities, and the story is different in the regional centres.

My advise to him is, go for the TPP and start looking into the regional areas for opportunities towards the end of the program.

BTW, I know of more than 3 male Nigerian nurses in the Shepparton area alone



@BossLadymo, Weekend and Public holiday work is for the taxman, yes different rate (penalty rate) apply for working on those days. But you are also taxed at higher rate, that's why the locals don't like it, that's apart from family reasons. Weekends & pub hols was my favourite when I arrived, until I found out that the increment in my take home pay after taxation does not justify the hassles, so I started pulling back. But you can still make it worthwhile by using a tax effective strategy like packaging (if offered) or Negative gearing etc...

Please, from anzsco.com if an occupation indicates bachelor degree or higher qualifications with 5 years relevant working experince, must you have this criteria before u can apply for assesment?
Just as ur occupation 234111 indicates Skill Level 1 : Occupations at Skill Level 1 have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification. At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification. In some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification. i know u hav a degree or mayb wit msc, but where u assessed wit d five yrs experince?

Also, i saw some few occupation i might qualify with my HND as they require associate degree or Advance diploma or diploma wit 3yrs relevant experience. But according to the details on anzsco these occupations ar not eligible for 189, and fewer or no states sponsors them. They appear only on CSOL
Assessing body is VETASSES & TRA.

See attached pix

Please can u advice

bossladyMo:


Hahaha..true! But you still get an increment, which can come in very handy lol. I worked on a weekend, which also happened to be a public holiday on the saturday....omo I enjoyed looking at my payslip ooo...even though I paid higher taxes. Salary.

UBKtech:


I once did 25 & 26th December plus the Saturday after it and got slugged with a hefty tax bill that made my liver drop, my manager here is ready to dump all the public holidays on me but I just select the number I want. I am wiser now, tax wise.

BTW, you will likely get all or most of your tax back at the end of the financial yr. I invite me for the party ohhh!

bossladyMo:


Get tax back? Is that when I file the tax return? Bros, abeg yarn me sumtin! How do I get back? Why do I get it back? Eagerly waiting lol

UBKtech:


Yes, considering you have been here for a short while. See the attached picture or google 2015 Tax Threshold

Na so you like awuuf??

Cheers!

proftaiwo:
Just ensure you pick the most suitable because for me that is a major concern. It took me hell time to decide on my best skill option. You know here we don't ve specialty
lastly once you are set for ACS ensure all your papers
are duly certified To avoid delay of ur assessment.

bossladyMo:

What is TPP?

Well...if the rules still remain the same, he can qualify for a 189/190 after his degree. Especially as his completion of a nursing degree will enable him register with Ahpra, and wont need to assess his degree, as it is an Australian one. It would have been better if he was in the regional area, I mean schoolig in a regional area. Cos you get extra 5pts for that and you are almost guaranteed a job.

Ninibabe:


TPP is Tertiary Preparation Programme like a Pathway to the Nursing Program.

bossladyMo:


He is a man...he will adjust. I came here with my husband and 2 young kids...didn't know anybody. ..relying on google...and we are settling in fine. So don't worry your head...

bossladyMo:


Why does a need TTP anyways?

mPop:

Ninibabe:

izykvision0:


Aw u dey? From ur experience how much do you pay for utility bills per month. Min and max paid so far. Do u use AC, sparingly or always or not at all?

UBKtech:


My bad, thought TPP is Transition to Professional Practice program for Nurses. But why go through a TPP pathaway that he will end up spending 4yrs for BSc Nursing when he can go through Diploma/Advanced Diploma in Nursing to Bsc Nursing which will take 3 to 3 1/2 years to conclude?

Plus if he goes through the Advanced Diploma pathway, he can stop after the Advanced Diploma (2yrs) and start working. Please ask him to take cover and run for his life.

bossladyMo:


We got a bill of $380 for 62 days (cooking, hot water system, laundry, ACs and every other electric powered thig in the house) For the first 2 weeks, we were using the AC 247...but by the time I calculated the potential cost on Ergon website, we sharply reduced the usage. We cool the room at intervals during the day, and use the fan at night. But that's the rate for Ergon Qld...I guess it varies by state.

Electricity Bills are sent out wvery 3mths. Landlord pays for water.

izykvision0:


Ok cool, thanks for d breakdown.

Yea different rates for state, but it gves an idea on the average.

So this goes to say u haven't experienced cold spells that require the use of jackets or cardigans yet? Although think Qld is quite hot compared to Victoria.

izykvision0:


Ehen thats cool then. So IOM Australia all the way.

There is no Advance diploma in Nursing program for international Students in any school in OZ, and probably diploma in nursing wont qualify him for SVP.
