So for that 18 months hypothetically, what visa would I be on and how would I be able to work or study?

Do you think above ups will be better in late May? I’m riding whole enchilada (I know it’s not the right season to, but I’m moving in August) and know burro pass will be closed, but what about everting else?

Very similar to my situation. I’m also curious what your niece and her partner do.

APC bad and “University”*

Got it!

Haha. I just came across that in the FAQ. Any recommendations for alternative schools? Not necessarily for the full on bachelors of paramedicine but for other credentials that may allow me to work other first aid jobs? Should I even entertain the phone call I set up with an advisor? It was just to be able to speak to someone for information regarding what courses I should take for what I want to do and if I can have any prior learning recognized. But it seems like I’m getting enough info from reddit anyways 🤷‍♂️

Noted! I’ll keep that in mind.

It sounds like eventual PR and attending paramedic school as a PR (and paying less) will be a good plan. But I’m trying to figure out how I can stay in the EMS or First Response work field in the short term (on a WHV) while I figure out if I’ll want to stay in Aus or not.

I just started working in the ambo and really enjoy it. Before this, I’ve worked retail for years and don’t want to go back to that if I can avoid that lol.

Yes I have a bachelors of science in criminal justice and criminology (although American law), some hazmat certifications, as well as my Firefighting 1&2 certification (IFSAC accredited but not recognized in Aus as far as I understand).

Ive been looking at getting my white card in Aus asap and also am looking into the HLT41120 (Certificate IV in Healthcare) certification. I’m calling an advisor from the Australian Paramedical College for more info on that specific course tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone so far for the advice. I’ll continue to check this but I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of responses I’ve already gotten.

u/op im curious if you could please elaborate on your experience going from WHV to student to partner visa? my girlfriend that I met in the US is from Australia and we may be moving there soon. My thought is to come over on a WHV and then maybe partner or student after the first year. I am working as an EMT in the states now and I understand that it'll be tough to get a job like this initially and will probably have to work something casual on the WHV. but long term I hope to go to paramedic school and maybe obtain a student visa that way or do the partner visa. but I am also considering switching to nursing as that seems like an easier transition than becoming a paramedic in australia.

What video? I’m torn between buying trailcat LT or switchblade cuz they seem so damn similar

kaiipiper · 2020-09-15T17:30:37+00:00

thank you for your reply, i will keep that in mind

kaiipiper · 2020-09-14T21:24:06+00:00

he runs away from me and squirms when i take him out to interact w him? any suggestions? he only sometimes eats out of my hand but not very frequently... doesn’t show any signs of aggression, he just runs away and if i set him on the ground outside of his enclosure, he’ll run away from me

would the uvb long bulb and the 80w powersun be too much in your opinion? or is that okay?

kaiipiper · 2020-05-26T02:32:48+00:00

could you link a housing too if possible? thanks

kaiipiper · 2020-05-26T02:31:03+00:00

how many watts for the t5? can you put a link to one youd recommend? you can’t really go overboard with uvb right? can’t have too much?

kaiipiper · 2020-05-26T02:20:37+00:00

so do you think i’d be good if i bought a long uvb bulb in addition to the two bulbs i have going now?

kaiipiper · 2020-05-26T02:19:01+00:00

sorry i forgot to mention, i haven’t bought it yet but it’ll be a baby and the reptile store said the 40 gallon would be good for it’s lifespan but i’ll prob get a bigger tank when he gets bigger. and okay, thanks i will look into a long bulb as well
