In case of Ballarat, it's 1 hour and 20 minutes by train to the Southern Cross station in Melbourne CBD. It's $12.something one way adult fare. With Toowoomba, there are buses that also take about an hour and a half but they are a bit pricier. Trains dont go there on a regular basis, unfortunately.
Why do you mention only a post graduate visa? I am doing this to eventually get my independent visa 189 as an ict business analyst. My age group + superior english + bachelors degree + australian study + study in a regional area + professional year is already 80 points. I will do my best to do NAATI course, a year of experience on a post grad visa and spouse skills assessment for additional points as well. I think my plan is quite solid as long as business analyst occupation doesnt disappear from the skilled occupation list.
My spouse has a master of finance and accounting degree and 1 year of corporate experience but not in Australia. Having been here on a working holiday visa we were unable to find a serious job of this kind with the visa limitation of 6 months with one employer. However, once I'm getting a student visa my wife will have no work limitations whatsoever.
I guess my final decision will depend on the course itself. Which one do you think is better? Anyone here studied at USQ or FedUni? Which course do you think is more suitable for a future BA? They are both ACS accredited. I am open to suggestions.
