    Good day po,

    Registered nurse po ako dito sa Philippines and I want to apply po sana sa Visa 189 or Visa 190 or pwede din po sa Visa 489 (aunt in Canberra).

    Sorry po I'm new sa immigration process ng Australia.

    Nacheck ko na po yung point system and so far eto po points ko:

    Age - 30
    Language - will take language assessment first pero I'm positive na makaka 10 po ako at least.
    Education - yet to be assessed po.
    Spouse - I have a spouse pero needs to be assessed din po ata sa nabasa ko.

    Question(s) lang po. sorry.

    1. Do I need to have relevant work experience as a nurse dito sa Philippines? I have nursing work experience naman po kaso 8 months lang po.
    2. Do I need to take the PTE-A po ba before ko mapa assess yung education equivalence ko sa ANMAC?
    3. Ano po pipiliin ko Registered Nurse (Medical) 254418 or Registered Nurse nec 254499 po? Ano po difference nila?

    Maraming maraming salamat po. pasensya na po.

    Hi po! HelloI have no idea where to start po. Please educate me po. My question is, paano po ako makakapag start ng nursing career po dito? I am currently here in Sydney and RN po ako sa Pinas though WALA po akong working experience sa Pinas po, training lang po meron ako. Temporary resident visa (under spouse visa) po ako ngayon pero turning to permanent na po. What's the best step po to be a nurse po dito if PR ka po?
    Hindi ko po kasi maintindihan when dapat pa assess for ahpra. May nabasa ako dito na mag aral ng 2 yrs then saka pa assess to ahpra. Then ung iba pa assess muna ahpra for either 3 mos bridging or ng 1 year conversion po. Alin po ba dapat?
    Also do I still need to take IELTS if nakuha ko na po permanent residency ko?
    Thank you po!

    anyone here who just recently processed ANMAC app? do we still need to send a copy of good standing directly to ANMAC from PRC? or sa AHPRA lang ang GSC?

    @butterfly From what i can remember, PRC needs to send it directly to both AHPRA and ANMAC.

    @paoloboi Hi, congratulations for finishing your bridging course. Once na nakuha mo na yung ANMAC result pwede ka ng magapply for PR Visa. Check mo kung makakakuha ka ba ng 60points for migration. I suggest you to either apply for Visa 189 or 190. :) For 189, you can choose which state to go to. Pag 190 naman, limited ka lang to work and live sa state na pinili mo for a couple of years (i'm not sure if this varies from state to state). Pwede ka rin nung 489 visa which requires you to live in regional areas for up to 4yrs. Whilst waiting for your ANMAC result, pwede ka ng magready ng documents mo, have it certified and scanned. Pwede ka na ring gumawa ng Form 80 mo together with your wife/partner if you have any and kuha ka na rin ng NBI clearance and AFP. :) Godbless on your application!

    @Casse Tumawag ba ahpra sa hosp na pinasukan ng hubby mo? Medyo worried lang ako kasi nagresign ako this Aug. Nasakin na COE ko. Pero yung HR namin nag resign na at pati yung chief nurse ko before, wala na sa hospital. Eh sila nakapirma sa coe ko. Paano kaya? :(

    @Cassey oooh. Paano pala sila nag checheck ng COE? Naku. Sana nga di na tumawag. Kasi yung sa chief nurse ko before cellphone number lang nya nilagay kong contact info nya . Hindi ko alam kung nagiba na sya ng number. Nag iisip tuloy ako. Punta ulit ako sa hospital tas magpakilala sa HR at chief nurse na bago. Hahaha!

    @momsienikki Sabi ni hubby kuha ka na lang daw ng bagong COE mo. Tumawag raw sila sa referee na nasa CV niya.

    @ErikaCon either you do the bridging program for 3-4 months or do a conversion course (bachelor degree) for 1-2 years depende sa pag assess ng school sayo.

    @aj.skywalker did you finish the briding course or conversion course already? kasi pag wala pa, you need to be skilled with Australian standards before you can be assessed by ANMAC

    @elynneislove student visa depende sa pathway mo. iba ang course fee sa bridging which is around 10-12k AUD i think. conversion course for 1-2 years is 12-14k AUD per semester. tuition fee lang po yan. di pa kasama basic needs dito.

    @mumayme Hi, bridging course are for those who have experience within the past 5yrs of being a nurse. You can opt for a 1yr/2yr conversion course instead.
