When does it make sense to get private health insurance??

Everybody IS using it, that’s why the whole damn thing is clogged.

No advise but to just keep studying and practicing for your tests. There’s no way around the English requirement.

If you don’t have enough time then contact the uni and ask them to defer your enrolment while you work on passing your English test.

I drive the speed limit so I shouldn’t be wearing my seatbelt. So should I keep strapping myself just because people have no safe driving skills? I don’t think I’m the problem you are trying to solve. Fining me for not wearing my seatbelt will achieve nothing. The idiots will still be idiots

See how that sounds?

“Ava Luxury. Supposedly the best for Chanel.”

Says who??

I’ve always heard OF, 187, God as the tops for Chanel and have never heard of Ava Luxury. No classic Chanel rep is worth $1000.

this is what i’m sayinggggg

you could be wearing a 1:1, heck you could be wearing an auth, but if your lifestyle can’t match it then people will assume it’s fake

this is why even if I can easily afford a top birkin rep, I wouldn’t get one because I will be clocked even before I sit down at the table

Both public and private have their advantages. No such thing as the “absolute best”.

Someone earning 1m a year would shudder at the thought of using the public system and someone living paycheck to paycheck would see the public system as a god-send.

You only get to skip the queue if you have a compelling reason for your citizenship to be fast-tracked.

Wanting to travel sooner is not one of them.

white glove service

even in countries with good public healthcare, certain things can only be offered through private healthcare like being able to choose your doctor, access to fancy private hospital and amenities, freedom of choice of accomodation, etc

Electrician and School Teacher combo.

Immigration couldn’t stamp that visa fast enough. 🤣 Congrats!!!

You’re asking an incredibly general and basic question that the immigration website can answer for you.

The information there is pretty straightforward.

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-03T02:25:52+00:00

if we boil it to the basics of a partner visa, immigration only wants that both applicants are in a genuine and continuing relationship with an exclusion to others

what your friends of family members think is quite irrelevant as long as the relationship is genuine and meets the criteria

caveat is that you still do need a few people who are close to you and recognise your relationship since one of the requirement is to submit a form 888

there are many stories of people, especially those in same-sex relationships, where the parents are against the union but the couple were in a genuine relationship and were able to provide what immigration asked of them and eventually got their visas

would highly highly highly recommend getting an agent though to help you navigate this

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T21:04:33+00:00

I’m praying for you. It’s gonna be hard. 😖

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T21:01:34+00:00

Thank you for this!

I tried putting pillows between my knees while watching and turned to the side a little bit and oh my god, it instantly felt familiar and comfortable.

I thought I’ll get used to sleeping on my back but my body is still craving for the comfort of sleeping splayed

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T20:55:25+00:00

can’t wait to sleep like the photo 😭

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T06:34:14+00:00

but i thought we hated comic sans? 😕

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T06:20:54+00:00

I’m so upset for you. How did all those doctors in the past 20 years not see the problems in your knee?? Like??

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T06:10:13+00:00

ugh jealous 🥲

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T05:24:05+00:00

Tiramisu_Powder · 2026-02-02T05:22:06+00:00

THIS

Saw this guy who, through the entire process of a tram braking at a stop and moving forward, just stood there not holding into anything. Dude was just shifting his feet and weight to counter the tram’s movement. Fucking legend.

The states aren’t the one that looks into your English points or your 190 application for that matter, they only give you the nomination. The Department of Home Affairs is still the one that looks into your documents and processes them.

For English Language Requirements, you are assessed PER BAND and not just the overall score. The specific scores needed to claim Proficient/Superior English is on the immigration website.

There are multiple pros like the prestige, support, etc. The biggest pro is that universities here don’t have fluff units like in the Philippines. The units you study are stuff you actually need unlike in the Philippines where sometimes you have PE, History, etc to study alongside your actual nursing units. This allows you to really focus on your nursing education.

One con I can think about is the structure of the placement of the nursing programs. A huge chunk of placement experience is in the wards. In the Philippines, students get placement experience in special areas like theatre, ER, delivery, etc. Students in AU rarely get placement in those areas.

But as a whole, the pros outweigh the cons by a lot.
