U.K. Passport for Australia

boxermad

To cut a long story short I was talkin to a relation of mine and she told me she thinks if you have a uk passport you don't need to do regional work for a 2nd year visa. Any idea if she's right? As I qualify for a uk passport through my mother being born in England and the grandmother being from Armagh. Thanks in advance.

She is wrong.

Yes she is wrong you still need to do the regional work as a UK person met many of them when I was doing mine, A UK passport will get you medicare however.

This this and more of this. I caught cancer here in Australia and I'd have been royally screwed without medicare. I thank my lucky stars every day I, for whatever reason, chose the UK passport to come over on (I think my Irish was sort of close to expiring).
