Any drug professionals out there?

[JimandBarbinAus]

Hi all, I was wondering if there are any drug workers out there in Sunny Adelaide as I was wanting to know if anyone could advise regarding the job opportunities? Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Mayjess, as I am not an Aussie citizen as yet can I assume that public sector jobs are not open to me? Regards

Hi Mayjess I forgot to ask on my last reply, what type of salary could I expect to receive if I worked ft? Cheers

[Guest mayjess]

Prob for the gov jobs you have to have PR, but for the non-gov ones its prob just a visa permitting you to work,, salary is quite good, ive seen it from $50,000 upwards. check out www.careerone.com.au type in community development or community health development or counselling etc.

Nice one. Would you say that $50k is average for our kind of employment?

[Guest mayjess]

Yeah I reckon,, as I said some are offering more.

For State government jobs i.e. jobs with the South Australian State Government and its affiliated departments you dont need PR and local government jobs you dont need PR. The State government has its own website where it advertises jobs and there is a site for local government jobs - just google it.

 

On a lighter note everytime I see your heading about drug professionals I get this hollywood image of a drug dealer - complete with bling

Thanks for that Zoot. The wife and I have received SA state sponsership and just waiting to hear back from DIAC. Could you confirm whether or not we will be able to apply for public sector jobs as Laura is a nurse? Hope you can help?

I am also on a State sponsored visa so have found you are free to apply for public sector jobs - if any job has a restriction that you need to be an Australian citizen it will make it abundantly clear (will usually state you must be an Australian Citizen to apply for this job) but otherwise your visa allows you to work for any company or organisation that you are qualified for (will usually say something like must have a valid Australian working visa). It is just Federal jobs i.e. working for departments that fall under Canberra that we wouldnt be eligible to work for. After that it is up to the individual company.
