@Korenai As I mentioned earlier, better clarify first with IHNA kung for Division 1 or Division 2 ang program nila. I have a feeling kasi na baka for Division 2. Pero kung for Division 1 din naman, also clarify kung yung fees for OBA ay kasabay na sa fees nila.
Now, kung clear na for Division 1 registration at sabay na ang fees, then and edge ay mas cheaper plus the certification in aged care would give an edge when it comes to employment opportunities. 6k is still 6k di ba? Besides after 6 months ng program, pwede ka na mag-register at ma-employ... although sinasabi na middle of next year mag start ang OBA, there will still be some hiccups nyan at kung tapos mo na ang BP, you will be registered under the old BP scheme. By the time you finish the aged care certification, that's another feather on your credentials.
While sa conversion you are tied-up to the program for the whole year.
There are just my opinions and does not reflect on how AHPRA acts or will act on your case.
