Hi, i will try to answer your questions as much as I could based on what I've been through.
<blockquote class="Quote" rel="iori">Good day po sa lahat!
I would like to inquire for my husband and para din po ma enlighten kami.
Husband is 29 yrs old, ER nurse from 2010 to present, pero plano niya wag na mag renew bali hanggang June this year nalang, gusto na niya mag resign. in between may isang taon siya sa RN heals. ako nman po ay teacher with 2yrs exp. yung sa IELTS po may idea na kami sa band score and next batch na po kami mag review. tanong ko lang po.
- bridging po ba ang mauuna bago ang assessment? yan po kasi ang sabi sa amin, eh nakaklito lang kasi diba may assessment din if eligble ba siya to take bridging? which is which?
<b class="Bold">A. First is to take IELTS Academic, 7.0 min on all bands
B. Apply for the AHPRA registration: https://www.ahpra.gov.au/registration/registration-process/registration-requirements.aspx
http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/FAQ/FAQ-IQNM-bridging-program.aspx
C. Fill up AGOS 40 form together with all the evidences, pay reg fee via credit card, apply fit2work clearance
D. Submit it by mail to AHPRA
E. Some documents like PRC Good standing should be mailed directly and separately to AHPRA ( do not include this in your application)
F. Expectedly, AHPRA will inform you that you are not eligible for registration and will refer you to take an NMBA approved bridging program/ IRON prog.
G. Choose a university/ school where you can take the IRON prog & present the referral letter given by AHPRA
http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Education/Approved-Programs-of-Study.aspx?ref=Nurse&Type=Bridging&div=Registered%20Nurse%20%28Division%201%29
F. School will give you an offer letter , pay tuition fee, school will give you COE or confirmation of enrollment to be attached in your visa application. You also need to get a health insurance coverage based on the duration of your stay. i got NIB health insurance, its the cheapest.

- paano namin malalaman if pwde siya mag take ng bridging?
- what visa ang dapat namin applyan para maka pag bridging sa Au na pwde madala ang asawa at anak? If student visa 500 po ang kunin namin, may idea po ba kayo pano ang show money? kasi diba pag visa 500 ang show money includes:
1yr cost of living + 1yr tuition + return airfare (if my accompanying member add pa yun)
<b class="Bold">it should be student visa 500 regardless of your chosen course of study, Usually 3-4 months stay lang ang ibibigay ng dibp since 3 months lang ang duration ng bridging program. I suggest na wag muna isama ang family. You also need to satisfy the GTE or genuine temporary entrant requirement. </b>
- so paano po kung hindi nman aabutin ng isang taon ang bridging? ano po magiging basihan ng show money?
- if under student visa 500 pa din kami and tapos na ang bridging course and AU registered nurse na, pwde na kaya mag apply na ng skilled independent visa 189 or need pa umuwi ng pinas at dito na mag process?
<b class="Bold">After passing the bridging program, you need to re-register sa AHPRA so you can have the AU RN title, pwede ka na magpa sponsor via 457 visa sa employer OR magpa ANMAC assessment ka na, once you received the suitable for migration report from ANMAC, you can now submit EOI for 189 skilled independent/ 190 state nominated, receive Invitation to apply and later on lodge your PR visa.</b>
- Yung sa bridging program tuition fee po ba ay spot cash or staggered payment like sa normal courses?
<b class="Bold">in my case sa uni ko, ETEA, 50% down upon receiving offer letter and the balance is payable before the course completion.</b>
maraming salamat po sa lahat ng sasagot. God bless po!</blockquote>
