Any adult experiences with getting braces/their teeth straightened/fixed?

I (22M) have a crooked set of teeth, well my lower teeth are, and got a gap between my front two teeth. I have always been insecure about my smile to the point It had cause me so much mental health problems. I just feel so ugly.

Does anyone have any experience with a good dentist/orthodontist and got their great smile?

Where? How? How much did it cost (important lol)?. Do you need a gp referral or something or can you just make an appointment with the dentist?.

Anyone know where I can find a good variety of edible flowers? I’m making a birthday cake and I’d love to have lots of colours/sizes if possible :)

Cheap accommodation / accommodation recommendations in Hobart

Hello!

I hope to be travelling from interstate to Hobart for a bit to help volunteer with environmental conservation work. I’ve finished my studies in environmental science and focused on Tasmanian forest, particularly the Tarkine.

I’ve just been let go from my employment because of the business’ financial status so while doing this volunteer work and research I will be eating at my savings.

I’m crazy passionate about contributing to the research of Tasmania’s endangered animals and at risks forests which I’ll hopefully be helping with but with it being voluntary I’m hoping to find somewhere to stay which is quite affordable. Open to shared accommodation and variety of other options - a safe space and bed just would be great.

I’m mid-20s F and will be coming solo without a car too so somewhere near public transport would be great!

Open to a variety of suggestions and advice, thank you so much 🌱

Autistic and ADHD Job Seekers in Hobart

Services Australia have been running a program for neurodivergent job seekers throughout other Australian capital cities for the past several years. For the first time, this program has opened up for autistic and ADHD diagnosed job seekers in Hobart.

Being the first of its kind in Hobart, there is naturally a lot less awareness in the community and there hasn’t been a lot of applications thus far. The program provides a really great entry into the Australian Public Service (APS) for job seekers who would benefit from the support that they wouldn’t typically be able to get in similar positions.

The recruitment process involves job specific skill-based assessments, so individuals with less formal experience are still able to be competitive for roles which they might have been a bit apprehensive about applying for through regular avenues.

The roles available are:

  • Intelligence Officer
  • Program Support Officer
  • Data Analyst
  • Information Governance Officer
  • Technical Information and Knowledge Officer

We really want to have a strong first attempt at this program in Hobart so that its success can be used to encourage more programs of its kind in the future, and to do so we hope that you would be willing to share this opportunity with anyone that might be interested.

For more details, you can visit our website: Employ For Ability - Aurora Neuroinclusion Program

For any questions, feel free to email us at: aurora@employforability.com.au

Hobart Rivulet

I'm doing some research for a class I'm taking about the Hobart Rivulet. I'm wondering if anyone knows any cool history about it. I've heard the brewery has a lease hold on it for the water, but haven't been able to find much online. I can't find much online at all actually.
Any stories you can share in regards to it would be greatly helpful! Thanks

Best places to buy (non-caffeinated) tea bags/loose leaf?

Hi,

Other than T2, where do you pick up your herbal tea and tisanes in Tasmania?

I usually go to Woolies but I am hoping for more options :)

I'm asking more about hobby fun flavours rather than traditional tea.

Thank you!

Are premium internships worth to try?

Heya, I’m a recent UTAS graduate living in Hobart and struggling to find a job like everyone else these days lol. Was just wondering if anyone tried premium internships in Hobart and want to know your thoughts. I haven’t actively seeking jobs yet but already been declined in many grad positions for ICT grads. I’m also from overseas so was thinking if they’ll help me. Thanks in advance and all the best!

cheapest piece of land near Hobart

I am planning to move to Hobart 5 years later so I am looking for a tiny piece of land to grow a few fruit trees in advance. Anyone know of where to buy a small piece of land near Hobart? Ideally I'm hoping it will cost 50K or less in total... a 50m2 flat grass land should be sufficient. I've looked through a few websites but nothing really fits my requirements.
