awww thank you! i get lots of ideas from you guys as well so please keep sending me questions!

All the best!

Good to see you have done the research! message me on facebook and I can share more there... It is getting more competitive now than ever, because the 'internship' model in Victoria was remodelled this year (2022). No one really knows what is going on tbh....

@@SallyOverShare In one of the ASMIRT Keys to Employment webinars, we had the Department Head of Radiography at one of the largest public hospitals in Victoria as a guest speaker. She said that it was she who fought for paid internships when she was young. Since she has retired, the cynic in me thinks the demise of paid internships is due to the retirement of its original proponent.

@@s0516122 A lot of passionate radiographers have paved their way for us. I feel like at the moment there is a gap - senior radiographers are retiring and the young generation are not 'there' to fight for more. tbh, as much as I want to change things, I do know where to start and other life commitments take over. The good news is, I know several experienced radiographers who are making a change (gradually)! We need our voice to be heard in the government and regulatory body.

I mentioned in another video that we get up to 8 weeks of paid leave a year, so I do take a week off here and there to take a break. TBH, I think you just need to make time if you want to do other side hustles. A KZfaq video takes me 10 hours of work, from scripting (2 hours) to filming (2 hours) to editing (6hours) , but I find time to do it because I enjoy it :) I have friends who also work in a different industry on a part-time basis. Radiography is flexible enough that you can do it part-time. All the very best!

Awww Thank you so much! I found out I was pregnant the day after I uploaded my last video...and my hormone and body have been going through high and low :/ I still have so much to share and I will definitely come back!

Congratulations on your big news! I understand how you feel. Please take care and enjoy your new experience 🙂 ...and come back when you're ready ☺️

Radiologists and radiological equipments are probably the biggest expenses. Plus, the radiation regulation can be legally complicated and you may also need to hire a physicist. 1) All radiological examinations must be reported by a radiologists. Some clinics have the examinations reported remotely by overseas radiologists. For CT/MRI contrast scans and some Ultrasound examinations, you must have a radiologist on site. 2) Some radiology clinics have relation with private hospitals and some medical centre so the doctors and surgeons will refer the patients to a specific radiology site. However, the quality of the scan and report turn-over time are crucial. If the radiology clinics don't provide a good services, the doctors will refer the patients to somewhere else. Patients don't always know they can choose any radiology clinic, they always assume they have to go to the one listed on their referrals. 3) It depends on the company budget. Some clinic only has X-ray or Ultrasound (e.g. obstetrics ultrasound clinic). An MRI machine can cost 3-5 million, plus other safety costs. Most rural clinics only provide x-ray/Ultrasound/CT because they are cost-effective. It is not impossible to start a business in radiography, but it is not as straight-forward as other healthcare profession. My husband, who is an osteopath, can practice from home as long as he has an ABN number and a clinical bed. Therefore you cannot compare radiography to dentistry or optometry, since you can even buy and take over an existing business, just on your own. I know several radiography companies owned by radiographers/radiologists, or by someone who is not even in the healthcare industry. All the best!

I think I have talked about nurses or radiographer in another old video. Job security and payscale are similar - nothing is guaranteed and it is getting more competitive. As an international student, you don't get much disadvantage in finding jobs or placements in radiography. However, I'm not sure if it is the same case for nursing international students.

@@SallyOverShare thanks a lott sally is their any pay scale difference between bachlor and master in this course?

@@SallyOverShare are you on instagram?

no, you are on the pay scale. some workplaces may give you a higher educational allowance if you have a master degree, around$200 fortnightly.

I find the work-life balance in MRI is better than X-ray. No night shift/late shift/super early shift. I do more on-call but I don't get called in as often as I do in X-ray. I wouldn't have it any other way.

It is absolutely possible for you to study radiography in Australia, but watch my other video on 'the cost of international student studying in Australia'. It is quite expensive to study the bachelor course as an international student. The salary of a nurse and a radiographer are comparable in Australia. I also think it would be easier for a nurse to land a job comparing to a radiographer. Unless, you become a PR first in Australia, then the university fee for domestic student is much cheaper! Good luck!

@@SallyOverShare thank you for your advice:) It’s great to know you on KZfaq

Oh absolutely no discrimination at all in my workplace! The conflict stemmed from negative office culture, and it takes time for staff to warm up with new staff. I came on too head-strong as well. I have only experienced a handful of discrimination from my part-time retail job and radiography jobs, from people of all cultures (including Asians). I'd say I was treated a lot better by patients in a hospital (comparing to a clinic), because patients hold hospital staff on a high regard.

Check with ASMIRT!

I know there aren't many job opportunities there...

Radiographer here. There is a study published by the Australian government stating that there will always be demand of radiographers for the next decade to come. Working metro will be competitive as always, but if you're happy to work regional/rural - you should be fine.

I will talk about it in my next video :) in short, there isn't a job for every graduate but there are jobs somewhere...it may just take time

@@SallyOverShare thank you so much guys! Looking forward to your next video!

@@ex2reaper Everywhere I read, they say there's a shortage of radiographers and radiologists.

@@SallyOverShare As someone currently doing their MI degree, these videos are very enlightening. Please continue to post as you are able with your pregnancy.

It depends if you are working in a clinic or in a private hospital or in a public hospital...

I did have a physical diary...now I do video diary 🤫

@@SallyOverShare Oh. So these videos are your diary entries!

nah i upload videos on another youtube channel for record keeping...its called 10 seconds diary
