    Hi! Anybody here who has any idea how to get separate OSHC for couples? Upgrading from single insurance is so expensive.

    Hi share ko lang po, nag tanong na ako nyan sa insurance provider ko po kasi balak ko din yan, ang sabi nila, wala naman daw po kaso sa kanila na mag single cover din yung partner, pero hindi daw po sila sigurado kung tatanggapin ng DHA.

    @javi As long as you satisfy the minimum 450 hours of practice within the past 5 years and satisfy all the other requirements, AHPRA will have no reason not to register you in Australia. However with just a bare minimum of experience you may not easily find a sponsor for work visa, Have you considered the nursing conversion course pathway instead?

    @damassh I actually didn't apply for a scholarship in USyd. But successful admission to their program will make you eligible for the Vice-Chancellor International Scholarship (but they will only make you a scholarship offer if you're one of the top-ranking commencing students, or so I heard).

    Hello sa lahat. May question ako ulit please. Magla-lodge na ako ng student visa application next week. Sabi ni agent, after daw i-lodge, I will need to undergo a health check-up. Tanong ko lang, ano pong procedures ang kasali sa health check? Tsaka how much po ito usually? Or covered ba to ng OSHC?

    @EllisBell i believe na yung inig sabihin mo is the medicals for the visa application. its not included sa OHSC. i think nsa 4-8k ang bayad dpende sa requirement na tests. mas mahal pg medical-related course kasi may mga additional tests like HIV and HepB screen
