A self-supportive, resource and discussion group for overseas nurses and allied health professionals. The forum aims to provide support and advice on the ups and downs of working and living in Australia. We want to hear from nurses and allied health professionals, whether you've just arrived or been here for years. Everything you wished someone had told you when you first arrived: top tips, culture shocks, home sickness, academic and professional updates, useful websites, links, resourses, reading lists and practical advice. For example: you could ask how to get decent accommodation? A second hand fridge or cheap furniture? Who is selling what? Can you drive on an overseas licence, clothing sizes, Medicare Levy? Is there anyone working in your health service from the same country as you? Do you need support from peers or just want to talk to someone who is going through same experience. Then please join, don't forget to check out tool bar on the left, in particular links and files.
