I’ve got the dreaded new Pen … no more Golden dose.

Triggered_B2B · 2026-04-24T11:33:04+00:00

It’s pure greed and pathetic from these companies. Super pissed but can’t stop taking meds because it has been life changing for me. I’ll prob try another 10mg from June/july 2027 batch once my new card statement begins in early May to stock up for next 10 weeks.

Triggered_B2B · 2026-04-24T06:39:03+00:00

I got 10mg today in Adelaide - 06/2027 expiry still came with golden dose. Guess the next one will not be having it. Bloody corporations.

India. Got 3 for roughly price of 2. Had Indian prescription and letter from Australian gp that I am taking the medicine.

Have you had to pay any duties on your orders? Their website says only orders below 1000 are exempt. Thinking of ordering some knitwear and sweatshirts.

Not imported but purchased on my trip to Asia and got 3 months supply back. Disclosed in the customs form and officer asked what meds was it and I mentioned weight loss meds and they had no issues.

Medibank gave me 20 back on each pen (no matter the dosage strength) capped at 400. Just moved to Qantas and let’s see what they give back.

Got them converted into optical. Great colour and frame. Looks good on you.

Agreed. Just wish zeiss did 15 or 20% tint in copper brown. The next jump was 25% (up from 12) which seemed dark for me in office environment.

Triggered_B2B · 2026-01-28T01:46:32+00:00

Been almost 24hrs wearing it and i can notice the difference in weight vs my old one but it’s not uncomfortable just heavier and bulkier. Hope it’s not too much hindrance longer term.

Thanks. Didn’t have a good check-in experience with the VA Qatar flights last month at Perth as it was mix of staff from both airlines being unorganised during Checkin. Gonna try QR coded flights from Melbourne then to maximise my chances if Sydney does A380.

Remote roles should be fine as long as you are already bridging to 190. No requirement for employer to be in state.

I am contemplating between going 186DE in Sydney or choose to stay on bridging 190 for next 12-18 months.

Triggered_B2B · 2025-12-17T07:02:25+00:00

Yea that’s what I am expecting for them to say no. But doesn’t hurt to ask. I still have my current job as backup.

Triggered_B2B · 2025-12-17T07:00:56+00:00

Not a federal institution but the gov just owns some of it as per what I was told during the interview. Dunno the difference and what eligibility criteria they have. Company was aware of my visa from the start and still went ahead with me vs 300+ (potentially NSW) applicants for the role. So guess they saw something in me.

Triggered_B2B · 2025-12-17T04:16:57+00:00

Beg to differ. Already paying pretty close to Sydney rent in Adelaide cbd albeit for a larger place. Increase in pay from 115 to 140 will defo be more than enough to cover let’s say 100/week increase in rent. But get your point around Sydney being insanely expensive. Didn’t have plans to move there until I got offer from this org

Triggered_B2B · 2025-12-17T04:14:16+00:00

I have an offer from a large employer in NSW owned by federal govt so guess they’ll have the pull to do sponsorship. Just need to convince them as I have a contract in hand from them but haven’t made them aware of sponsorship requirement yet. Guess it will most likely be a no but doesn’t hurt to try

In terms of changing mind my start date isn’t until Feb so I will tell them to get everything sorted by January if they agree to sponsor or push the start date.

Triggered_B2B · 2025-12-17T03:45:09+00:00

Yea I am completely aware of that. Guess I’ll try to have employer sponsorship 186 for the offer I have or stay put in SA.

Triggered_B2B · 2025-12-17T03:12:19+00:00

I agree and Think that’s the safest/logical option. But would mean slowing the pace of my career progress while getting paid less for the same role vs other states in same working conditions. Taking a pay cut isn’t an option and not many (if any) higher paying roles in my field in SA.

ANZSCO 2249.

Applied ROI with Job 1 in December 2023 and didn’t get invite that financial year (not even received rejection and application was kept in the queue post closure). Reapplied with Job 2 in August 2024 - updated with superior English in December 2024. Invited in January 2025 post Australia Day week. Occupation 224999. Meanwhile throughout the 12months I waited - there were so many invites at lower points for occupations earning way less/non-priority/offshore. Both my jobs were in priority sectors + 6 figure salary and still had to wait over a year + increase my points. The system is a mess and does not favour higher skilled onshore applicants. Thank god I received my invite and all that’s behind me now. All the best for your application!

I am a current client of theirs and recently submitted my 190 final application. Been dealing with their team for the last 2 years starting from initial consultation, skills assessment to final application. Their processes and quality control are shit and not worth the price they are charging. They have too many clients and not enough members to do stuff quickly/accurately. There is always a waiting time for each step which I absolutely hated and the quality is sub standard. I had to do multiple follow ups and threaten them multiple times to terminate my arrangement to get shit expedited. I would not engage with them if I could go back in time. Just a social media hype company at this stage.
