Hi All!
I am new here and I am glad I found this forum!
Here's my situation: Living in the USA for 2 yrs now, Just granted a PR visa in Aus & a nurse back in the Philippines.
Share ko na din muna ang aking story sainyo before I ask some questions & advice from you guys.. Nandito kami ngayon currently sa US together with my husband, but planning to migrate na lang sa Aus which we are thinking kasi na mas ok mag start ng family and career compared dito sa US, especially nowadays na lalong mas bumagal ang immigration system dito.
Ang main applicant nga pla is yung husband ko, he is a medical lab scientist and na-meet nia yung point system for PR (189). While nag pprepare kami ngayon dito to move sa Aus, I am researching na din sa AHPRA website & dito sa forum kung paano mag apply sa Aus as RN. Actually, sobrang laking tulong nitong forum, I learned a lot na kaagad based sa mga comments and pag share ng experiences ng ating mga kababayan. I have some specific concerns lang and hopefully sa pamamagitan nitong forum, ma-enlighten ako about the application process to become an RN sa Aus.
My concerns:
1.ENGLISH TEST: Ano po kaya ang madaling ma-pass and ma-meet agad yung required score ng AHPRA in one take, IELTS or PTE?
2.AHPRA: Am I qualified pa din po kaya for bridging program even if may gap na yung last RN experience ko sa Pinas? My last RN experience was 2015 po.
3.TUITION FEE: As PR, may student discount po kaya sa bridging program?
Thank you so much po sa mga makakasagot ng mga dilemma ko, big help!:)
God bless us all!

Hi,
1. Mas madaling makakuha ng high score with PTE.
2. Qualified ka pa rin for bridging as long as your experience is within 5yrs prior to application.
3. Based on my reading, I think the rate will be the same as the Commonwealth Fee but it says that you have to pay for it upfront.
All the best on your move.

i have a question. I'm having second thoughts if i should pursue applying for a bridging course. since by the time im there i'll only have 2 years experience as an age care nurse. im working here in uae as a homecare nurse and im afraid by the time il have skills assessment, il get dissaprove sa application ko for pr since i only have 2 yrs experience. possible ba na pwede yun 1 yr experience ko as an aesthetic nurse in a derma clinic? so it'll be a total of 3 years international paid experience? pero il be applying for 254412 registered nurse (aged care)?

Unfortunately, you have to choose 1 among the 2 specializations and you can only claim points for whatever experience is related to that code. To get the 5points it must be 3yrs for that specific code. You can't add in your experience in a Derma clinic to that of the aged care.

Unfortunately, para nga makakuha ka ng 5points for work experience, you must have 3yrs of experience based on the code that you'll be choosing. 3yrs is only needed if you're claiming points but if not, you'll still be eligible to apply as long as you meet the required 60points for migration.

Who can I use for my professional references?
- You should use the person who directly managed or supervised you. This person must be a nurse or midwife.
What if my direct supervisor is not a nurse or a midwife?
- If your direct supervisor is not a nurse or midwife, a statement to this effect should be included in the reference. Please note, a reference from sections of an organisation, such as Human Resources or Payroll, is not suitable for this assessment.
Ano po kaya ibig sbhin ng a statement to this effect should be included in the reference?
Thank you po
