Please refer to the website above, nakalagay lahat diyan ng kailangan mong documents as well as the steps in applying. There is a form that you need to fill up in Step No. 3, you’ll also see there the email address where you can send your documents. Have you already got your LOE from AHPRA?

Kelangan po ba may visa na agad?

@oIp It is not advisable to apply for a visa until you have secured a slot. When you submit your documents, you will be required to pay AUD 250 to secure a slot. They will then send you an offer letter which you will accept with a AUD 1,000 payment. This time your slot is assured and you can now apply for a Visitor (600) visa and you can use the letter of offer as additional documentation for the visa application, just like being invited by a relative or a friend for holiday purposes. Then 3 weeks before that start of the course, you will be required to pay the remaining balance. Btw, the AUD 250 is non-refundable.

Thanks @cucci. Re vaccination: pwede naba magpavaccine while waiting for LOE or pag may LOE na tsaka ako magpapavaccine? Ty

@oIp Vaccinations take time specially HepB... unless you only require booster shots. The HepB vax needs 3 doses given at 0, 1 and month 6. MMR needs 2 adult doses 1 month apart.

@cucci ok pa yung hepa titer ko. >1000 pa. More than dun sa limit ng machine. Baka kasi pag nagpa vax ako ngayon, hingan pako ng titer, magdodoble. Tsaka kelangan ba complete na agad yung docs pag magpapasa sa school or kahit later na yung vax pag nagreply na sila at may slot kana. Ty

@olp NSW State at school requirement ang vaccination. Required sya pag may slot ka na kasi hahanapin yun bago mag schedule ng clinicals.
