| Counsellors nec | 491 | ONSHORE | - | 31 Dec 2025 | 26 Feb 2026 | Thursday | 01 Apr 2026 |  | 34 | Came to Australia (Sydney) in 2017 (at age 29) to study ministry studies (Christianity). 2017-2019    2020-2022 - Master's of counselling  2023-2023 - Casual counsellor in a hospital  2023-current - Full-time counsellor and got a positive skills assessment for 1 year only in July 2024. Then NSW removes counsellors from their list.    January 2025 (on 485 expiring February 2026) I started looking and interviewing for jobs in Victoria but no luck.  June 2025, I joined a company that has an office in ACT.  July 2025, I relocate to the ACT (faith). The rule with the ACT is that you work and live here for 3 months before submitting EOI.    My partner is offshore so, he puts through an EOI for ACT in September, he gets invited but nomination is rejected because he added me and claimed points from me but am onshore (you both have to be offshore). So we waited for my invite as the rule doesn't apply for onshore applicants.   S56 Notes  S56 Request: PCC and Partner Skills assessment (My PCC was from Dec, 25 but they requested a new one. Partner’s skills assessment was uploaded in a different folder; I just had to reupload it)   submitted on 01 March 2026 |
