Gaps in work History

  • I was not able to work from May 2014 till May 2015 as I got married. My now Ex-husband lived and worked in Australia and I had to get Tourist Visas to travel back and forth to be with him, awaiting my permanent residence (PR) to be processed, which took an exceptionally long time. (I did NOT change my surname to my then husbands’ surname at any point. I have always kept my own Name and surname I have had since birth)
  • Since September last year, I was not able to work for a while due to health reasons and had to travel back to Fiji due to 2 deaths in the family. I am well and ready to work now.

Registration History

I have only been registered once in Fiji in August 2012, as a Fiji Registered Pharmacist.
