Isobel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Oh how could I forget, the nightmare transcripts. Get the uni to provide a full breakdown for Ahpra, some registration advisors are kool, some demand not just the hours of theory and practical but module by module...like my lovely registration advisor, save drama by telling the uni that it must be module by module, you may as well seeing you're paying for it. They send it directly to Ahpra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylel39 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Thank you very very much Isobel, that's exactly what we were after. Any idea on how long the application took from submission? Again thank you for taking the time to respond, Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isobel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I applied in early November and entered the country last feb (26) and I was registered three weeks later. This was during ahpras busiest time. My friend applied in jan and was registered for march. If your gf has a post, call Ahpra and tell them, they'll fast track you like if you were in the country.

Perthsunseeker Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi there, congrats on getting your registrations, must take a weight off! Can any of you who have your regs advise on what to submit for CPD - I'm a bit confused as NMBA site suggests a statutory declaration is sufficient but it seems most people send evidence aswell? If anyone could clarify I'd be very grateful. Thankyou, and good luck to all applying :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanith Greatrex Ball Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi perthsunseeker. I typed up a list of hours completed, mandatory and online,with dates a note that said what i gained from each session, so say i did an online blood transfusion training session, i put, From this session i gained updated knowledge of local and national updates in safe and effective blood tranfusion. They accepted this for AHPRA, who are apparently slightly pickier than the NMBA. Good luck Tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdeleP Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hey there I'm new to this wonderful site so not sure I am posting in the right section.. apologies if i'm not I have been here in Oz now for 2 years, I'm 26 and have just decided what I would like to do with my life... I think I would love to become a nurse - looking after children or a Midwife and I just want some advice whether it would be better for me stay here and do the studying or to go back to England?? I'm really not sure, so any advice would be really helpful. I am currently on a 457 as a de facto and living in Sydney! Thanks you Adele x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanith Greatrex Ball Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Cmakaju I think that you will need to get some post grad experience, not sure how it would work otherwise with registration, from AHPRA as you need a reference from and employer and if you go for skill assessment they need references, although i guess you could get references from mentors on placements, contact AHPRA direct and they should be able to answer your questions, and as they are the horses mouth so to speak what they say should be exactly what they will be looking for. Good Luck in this virtually minefield. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isobel Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Adele p, attempt to get de facto PR and do the nursing degree in Oz, if you think you're here for a long time. My friend did this and the costs of the course are a fraction of the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisstej070107 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi you need positive skills assessment first via ANMAC before you can submit. Check www.immi.gov.au Does a nurse still need an ANMAC assessment even though she/he has AHPRA registration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kel87 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does a nurse still need an ANMAC assessment even though she/he has AHPRA registration? I may be wrong and someone can correct me but I'm pretty sure it depends on the visa. ANMC skills assesment is a requirement of DIAC when applying for a PR visa. Its not a requirement for a sponsored employer 4year visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelz Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hi Kitty kat, Pleased to hear about your plans; I hope something comes up for you :-) What kind of visa are you going on??

MandiMR2 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi everyone, I've still not sent off my AHPRA application yet, just wondering wether to do it once I get there in Sept/Oct? or is it best to start it now? any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Start now, it can take a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty kat Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Shelz Not sure bout which visa, I am hoping that the nursing recruitment agency will give me indications once I have been offered a job.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
