    @Adamritzel Ang ICHC is international criminal history check. Kailangan mong kumuha ng clearance from them, isesend nila diretso sa AHPRA yung result. Kapag kukuha ka nun, meron kang reference number na ilalagay mo sa AHPRA application. Yang picture na anjan, health insurance ang tinatanong.

    Hi! Newbie here. Just completed my documents for the AHPRA and will send the application this month. They updated the AGOS-40 form as well effective Sept 6,2017. If I get the eligibility from AHPRA this year and able to enroll to a school for BP this year, am I included already for the 6 months bridging next year? Is the processing of papers right now lengthy than before? Thank you!

    Hi! as far as I know minimum of 3 mos for the processing of papers. for the BP i think that would depend on the school and state as per AMS, i just asked them recently regarding that.
    hope this can help. :)

    Hi everyone, my wife graduated BS nursing in the philippines and passed the board exam as well in 2009. However, she didn't practice ever since as she took care of our kids. Now she wants to pursue her nursing degree in Australia. We already have a PR visa with me as the main applicant.

    Can anyone advise if she is qualified for the bridging program or she needs to study all over again?

    @iamyourangel08 Sa Aged Care siya ngwowork nung time na yun. Dito naman sa Au, uso ang part time jobs tsaka flexible naman sila sa time. May mga available jobs sa cleaning, retail, sa restaurant as wait staff, etc. Huwag munang mamimili kasi even those who are permanent residents nahihirapang maghanap ng work sa field nila.

    @kathmae20

    Medyo mahal ang cost of living. Before you move to Au, make sure na may ipon especially na ang laki ng tuition for Deakin tsaka take note na you are only allowed to work 20hrs a week. Dapat may maibayad ka na around $20k+ para di masyadong mabigat yung for the next sem. Makakapagfulltime naman during school break mga 2weeks so use that time wisely. Minimum salary is $18 per hour. Weekly fare is $38. Rent ng room is around $150 a week plus food pa. Ang value meal sa Maccas is around $6... Ang meal sa food court starts at $10.

    Yung sa work, as long as hindi ka mapili I’m sure may mga available jobs naman, just prepare yourself mentally and emotionally kasi dito gagawin mo yung work na hindi mo pa nagagawa sa Pinas.
    At the end of the day, it’s all worth it, :)

    @drnc_13 Hindi pa kami nakabili ng house dito, KakaPR lang namin last year at sad to say na hindi madaling makabili ng bahay rito, medyo matagal ipunin lalo na at sobrang mahal na ngayon even mga locals nahihirapan ding bumili. 3-4 yrs ago house prices dito sa area namin were around $400k ngayon around $800k na.. Kotse ang madaling bilhin rito, you can have a new one kahit wala kang pangdeposit basta may stable job.
