I thought it was a requirement on the 457 that your company provide you with visitors coverage through a third party ( Medibank ). It was the case with me anyway, 2*457 + current permanent Resident. You can get Medicare when you apply for your permanent residency. I've worked all over the world and I have never seen the like of the Australian ruby community, I was made feel very welcome when I came off the boat from Ireland not really knowing anyone over here. I did take your jobs but at least I brought my own woman. :D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
