Hi all, wondering if if anyone can answer my question. I was granted a graduate visa in February 2015 and am now applying for a permanent visa, do I have to get all my documents recertified or can the certified copies of documents such as my passport, degree certificate and transcript be used for this application as well. Thanks for for you help.

I am a nurse and work in South Australia, but not in Adelaide. if you want to get an idea of job opportunities take a look at the SA Health website and check out the nursing vacancies available. Not sure how experienced you are or what area you work in but at the moment, with state government cutbacks, there is a shortage of permanent nursing positions within the public sector, not sure about private. Many positions are advertised as temporary or casual. There is usually agency work available but again it will depend on your experience and area of nursing. If you are prepared to be flexible and determined you will find nursing work somewhere but you would need to consider where you were going to live & how far you were prepared to travel each day. For example having lived near Seaford for a couple of years the furthest I would travel for work is the Royal Adelaide & Flinders would be my ideal location, but that is just a personal preference. I did get worn down travelling into Adelaide everyday on the train & if you work late shifts the train timetable is not ideal, finishing at 2130 means you catch the 2200 train & arrive back in Seaford around 2300, fine if you are working late the next day but not if you are on the early shift & need to be back at work by 0700. With the Southern Expressway open & working both ways, Flinders is only a 20 minute drive away. You could drive to the RAH but you would need to consider whether you are prepared to battle through traffic during busy times and pay parking fees. As an alternative to travelling to Adelaide from the southern suburbs you could consider the country hospitals down south such as South Coast Hospital at Victor Harbour, again it would depend on your experience and nursing area but its worth thinking about. The SA Health website lists all the hospitals in South Australia, Metro & Country, so you might want to look at areas you are interested in living in & then investigate the hospitals within a 50 - 60km radius. With the country hospitals it is definately worth making contact before you arrive as they can have vacancies that are not advertised and may be happy to meet with you once you arrive in South Australia.

Thanks Snifter

Hi Everyone, I need to be in the city (North Terrace) by 6am on Friday. I live in Port Noarlunga South so no public transport from Noarlunga will get me there in time. So I thought to save on cbd parking fees & battling out of the cbd at 2pm, I would drive to one of the tram stops & get the tram into the city. My question is can you park at all of the tram stops or is it a question of parking only available at some or on the road? Any other suggestions fo parking etc gratefully accepted!!

Thanks Cooler, have been on website and found relevant email addresses.

Thanks for the info Lisa.

Hi Everyone, Am keen to undertake my bronze medallion and am thinking of joining Moana Surf Life Saving Club, seen them training down on the beach and looks like fun! Am I too late to join this season? I know there are some Poms in Adelaide forum members who were members of MSLSC, just wondering if they still are and if its a good club to join where I will have fun and meet some new people. Thanks

Have made contact with someone, not been to look at door yet so its always good to have an alternative. PM me if you want.

Thanks for the phone number KingPin.

Hi everyone, am looking for a handyman/carpenter to fix door or possibly hang new door depending on what is best also any airconditioning engineers out there? Thanks

Hi Pam, I'm in Port Noarlunga South with my two dogs. Only been here since April. Would love to meet for walk/coffee/alcoholic beverage! Pm if you want to meet up

Dolphin made it onto 7 news tonight, with talk of a rally at Port Noarlunga next week. Being new to the area I know little about the desal plant or algae bloom for that matter! What I do know is that there have been a lot of fish washed up on Moana & Port Noarlunga South beaches and not just little ones, I've seen three good sized Snapper. To my uneducated eye, the dolphin I saw looked healthy, well fed and had no obvious signs of injury. Whatever is killing them appears to do so fairly quickly, or certainly well before they are struggling to feed themselves. I hope the problem is resolved soon

Anyone else seen the dead dolphin down at Port Noarlunga South, very sad:sad:
