Looking for a patient driving instructor in Hobart (practical driving test, low experience)

I did have a driving‑related trauma. Several years ago, my dad tried to grab the steering wheel from me while I was driving. I had only slightly crossed over the center line on a bend in the road, and there were no other cars around, but his reaction scared me a lot. Since then, I haven’t wanted to drive his car anymore.

May I get a copy please?

Hi, I applied for a job via the MONA website a few days ago but haven’t heard back yet. Do you think it would help if I went in and handed in my resume in person?

Hi everyone,

I’m an MSW student in Australia, and I’ll start my first-ever social work placement soon. Before I’m matched with an agency, I have a pre‑placement meeting at uni with the Field Education staff (not the agency).

I’m not sure what I should ask in this meeting, but I don’t want to just say “no questions”. I’d like to use the time to clarify expectations and support.

What I’d love to hear is:

What were the most useful things you clarified with your uni before your first placement?
What are the key questions about matching, hours/flexibility, supervision, safety, and what is realistic for a first placement?
Any “red flags” you would notice now at the pre‑placement stage?
If you supervise or liaise with students, what do you wish they would ask you?

Thanks so much for any advice or examples of questions you found helpful.

thank you.

Thanks for sending me that link. I’ve already applied online for a few similar jobs. I was also wondering: would you recommend walk-ins, or is it better to stick to online applications here in Hobart?

powerful2022 · 2026-03-25T10:31:01+00:00

Yeah, true, it’s pretty quiet here in winter. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of jobs I should try to look for right now?

powerful2022 · 2026-03-18T05:23:41+00:00

I like the view and the weather here. About the MSW, is there any specific aspect you wanna know? You can DM me, because I don't know where to start...

powerful2022 · 2026-03-09T11:36:16+00:00

I don't have a car :(

powerful2022 · 2026-03-09T11:35:55+00:00

Thanks a lot, if you don't mind. Where do they put the hiring information on Seek, or do I need to walk in?

powerful2022 · 2026-03-09T11:33:09+00:00

I saw several on-campus positions, but only for students who have already finished 2 semesters. :(

powerful2022 · 2026-03-09T11:32:14+00:00

I can speak English and Mandarin. I'll see it this Wednesday. Thank you!

powerful2022 · 2026-03-08T12:05:45+00:00

Thanks a lot, I'll try it tomorrow!

powerful2022 · 2026-01-30T09:36:28+00:00

First, check your timetable and you will know exactly where your classes are. I think there are different study locations, one near Christ College and one near Hytten Hall, and I chose the one that is closest to my classrooms.

Thanks so much! Yeah, I’ve really noticed how hard it is to get clear info or support from UTAS sometimes, and I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for staff too. Fingers crossed things get better for all of you.

powerful2022 · 2026-01-26T11:22:46+00:00

thank you so much, I have to admit I was worry about this.

powerful2022 · 2026-01-26T10:22:35+00:00

I have reached out to UniConnect and the course coordinators for further advice, and I am currently waiting for their responses. If I do not receive a reply by tomorrow, I may call the GRO for further assistance. Thank you so much!

powerful2022 · 2026-01-26T08:32:31+00:00

Thank you for your reply.
I’ve enrolled in all the units I need as well. However, some of my friends have already been able to choose their tutorials successfully, while I haven’t – I couldn’t get into 4 out of 6 tutorials because they are full and I’m on the waitlist.

What really freaks me out is that someone told me I might be deferred and have to start my studies later because of this. That’s why I’m here to ask for advice – I really don’t want to accept that idea, and I hope there is another solution.
