Working in Australia

Possible country route: Skills in Demand (subclass 482). The employer-sponsored Skills in Demand route has stream, nomination, occupation and applicant requirements. It replaced the earlier TSS route for new applications.

What to check before applying
  1. Confirm the sponsor and stream. Ask which 482 stream and occupation the employer intends to nominate.
  2. Check current requirements. Review qualifications, English, salary and any skills assessment on Home Affairs.
  3. Coordinate nomination and application. Keep the employer nomination and applicant visa steps distinct.

The Monash Adult Mental Health Program Hospital Outreach Post-suicidal Engagement (HOPE) initiative provides psycho-social support for people who are identified as having presented with a suicidal or self-harm attempt, or suicidal or intentional self-harm ideation. The initiative aims to provide follow-up care and support for people who traditionally would not have received such intervention immediately after hospital discharge, with broader referral pathways and tailored psychosocial support. The aim of the initiative is to prevent avoidable suicide attempts and reduce the number of completed suicides by providing targeted psychosocial support services to a cohort of people in an assertive manner in the community for up to 3 months from the time of discharge.

Provide community based support that enables consumers to build self-resilience and capacity to self- manage social, economic and environmental factors that contributes to suicidality.
