I'm currently on a 12-month 676 with an 8503 which runs until 24th December 2010. I have heard from a few different threads and forums that if I leave Australia and return, the 12 month period starts again.
For instance, I've just been back to the UK for a fortnight, returning on 20th May - does that mean my 676 will now run until the 20th May 2011 (i.e. another 12 months)?
This would be fantastic. I've been waiting for my independent skilled to come through for 16 months already and there seems to be no good news on the horizon...
