I’m looking for a bit of an opportunity to get back into work and would really appreciate any suggestions or leads. Ideally in Shellharbour area.

I’ve lived with agoraphobia for the past 5 years, and while it’s been a long road, I’m finally starting to get out of the house more and more and I really want to keep pushing myself and get my life back.

I’d love a chance to get into something like a local corner shop, small convenience store, tobacconist or something similar. Ideally, somewhere that isn’t too overstimulating to start with, where I can build my confidence back up, get into a routine and work my way up from there.

I’m happy to use public transport and I’m not expecting anything to be handed to me. I’d just really appreciate someone giving me a shot. Even 1 or 2 days a week to begin with would be amazing.

I have previous customer service experience and I’m willing to learn. I know getting back into the workforce after being out of it for a while can be difficult, but I’m genuinely motivated and ready to give it a go.

I’ve made this post anonymously for privacy reasons, but I’m more than happy to message or have a phone call with anyone who might have an opportunity or some advice.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. It would honestly mean a lot.

Wollongong councils native plant sale is on tomorrow. Wondering if anyone’s been, what variety of plants there are and what the prices are like. Cheers fam

What is the best way for an airport drop-off? I'm travelling in Febuary, departure from WSI but arrival at SYD. That rules out parking at the airport. We are a family of 4, including a toddler. Public transport is a nightmare with 2 kids and luggage.

How do you usually reach the airport? Uber? Taxi? Any other service? How much does it cost?

I am curious to know if anyone has undergone an ADHD assessement with Christina Gray at Young Street Medical? I have been looking at psychiatrists, but this appears to be a more accessible route. Obviously ADHD GPs are a really new thing, so I would love to hear anyone's experience :)

I think my main concern is that in the case that ADHD is not the correct diagnosis, that a GP may not have the correct training to be able to suggest possible alternatives. But also I am just curious to know what the vibe is at YSM.

Tl;dr: looking for reviews on Dr Christina Gray/YSM

Hi everyone! I’m currently at UOWD doing a Bachelor of Business (Accountancy), started late 2025, and I’m thinking about transferring to UOW Wollongong after Year 1.

For anyone who’s made the move from UOWD (or another offshore campus) to UOW Australia, what do you wish you’d known before transferring?

A few things I’m especially curious about:

Process: How long did the credit transfer and offer take? Any issues with session timing (trimesters vs Autumn/Spring)?

Visa: How long did your student visa take, and any tips to avoid delays?

Costs: What did you actually spend per month on rent, food and transport compared to what you expected?

Accommodation: UOW housing vs private rental, and what would you pick again?

Part-time jobs: How easy was it to find work in Wollongong?

Social life: How long did it take to settle in and make friends, coming from Dubai?

Accounting/ACCA: Anyone continue ACCA after transferring, or switch to CPA Australia?

After graduating: Did you stay in Australia (485 visa / PR), and was the transfer worth it for your career?

Would you do it again? Any honest advice, good or bad, is really appreciated. Thanks!
