APPLYING AS A NURSE IN AUSTRALIA

LovellaEllen

Hi Guys. For PR application 189/190, kailangan bang may English exam din yung hubby ko? Also possible bang mag apply ng PR through 189/190 at the same time?

Cassey

@lenita Yung mga nakikita ko na 70-75 naiinvite naman sila kaagad. Walang matagal na waiting time.

lenita

@Cassey how about yung nomination? 12 weeks talaga?

Cassey

@lenita Do you mean work sponsorship? Depende sa company na magsponsor sayo kung gaano kaurgent yung position at sa immigration. Dadaan ka pa siyempre ng interview then they have to call your referees then ireready yung contract mo, then signing then lodging of your papers tapos wait ng grant. Once na nalodge siya if onshore makakakuha ka ng bridging visa, depende sa current na visa mo kung allowed ka to work or not. Sometimes, you would have to wait for the current visa to expire before the bridging visa comes into effect para makapagwork ka or kung magrant ka that’s the time na pwede ka ng magstart ng work. Kung ibibase sa DIBP website around 5mos to 11mos waiting time.

Ask ko lng po.. nakareceive po kasi ako ng ganto:

Thank you for your email regarding the progress of your application. I have assessed your application and as your residential address is overseas and you cannot meet the proof of identity requirements you will be required to verify your identity at an AHPRA office. I have forwarded your application to my delegate for decision and you will be sent a notice of in-principle registration subject to meeting ID requirements. I should be able to send you the notice early next week.

For registration na sana, tapos na po ako mag bridging program, ano po kailangan gawin dito?

cucci

@aj.skywalker Sana nag-submit ka ng application mo in person sa AHPRA office after BP. You are simply required to report to any AHPRA office when you get back to Au to verify your identity and finish the registration process.

aj.skywalker

@cucci visitor visa lang po kasi ako nun maam, sakto lang po yung 3 months for BP, kaya po yung application ko po pinadala ko nlng po through mail. Wala na po ba ibang way dyan? kailangan ko po tlaga bumalik ng AU para mag personal visit?

cucci

@aj.skywalker Requirement kasi ang personal appearance pag may kulang like sa sinasabi sa baba na minimum yung evidence ng identity document.

http://www.ahpra.gov.au/registration/registration-process/common-application-forms.aspx
Presenting in person
In-principle approval may be granted to applicants who have applied from overseas and have provided only the minimum evidence of identity with their application. These applicants are required to come in person to any AHPRA office with their proof of identity documents for an ID check. If the Certificates of Registration Status (CORS) / Certificates of Good Standing (COGS) or International Criminal History Checks provided with the application have expired a statutory declaration may need to be completed.

Statutory declarations for expired Certificate of Registration Status (CORS) or Certificate of Good Standing (COGS)
Certificates of Registration Status (CORS) or Certificates of Good Standing (COGS) are valid for three months from date of issue.

If the CORS/COGS submitted with an application expires before an applicant presents in person they may be required to provide a statutory declaration, signed before an approved witness, to affirm their registration/standing with the relevant health profession regulatory authority.

Please note that there may be occasions when an applicant is required to arrange for the registration body to send a new certificate to AHPRA before registration can be finalised.

@cucci oo nga po maam eh, sayang, pero maam pwede po ako mag pa modified skills assessment PLUS sa ANMAC po? tama po ba?

ok lang din po ba yung modified skills assessment PLUS kahit 9 months lang po exp ko as a nurse?

cucci

@aj.skywalker According sa ANMAC website, yung Modified Skills Plus ang pathway for those with "in-principle registration".

https://www.anmac.org.au/skilled-migration-services/modified-plus-skills-assessment
If you are not registered in Australia as a registered nurse or a registered midwife but hold a current letter of 'Notice of in principle approval of registration subject to proof of identity' from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) you qualify for a Modification PLUS Skills Assessment.

Purely assessment lang naman ang role ng ANMAC, so they will assess you based on the documents you submit. The "points" will still be determined by the CO who will eventually handle your case when you apply for the visa.

Derecho PR na pala ang gagawin mo, di ka na nag 457? I remember halos kasabayan tayong nagpo-post dun sa allnurses last year... hehe

aj.skywalker

@cucci yes maam derecho ko na po PR, hindi na ako mag 457, mahirap din po kasi ako makahanap ng 457 kasi Company Nurse po ang exp ko eh, pero pag meron po why not hehe,

Ah talaga maam? di na po ako nag allnurses kasi medyo naguguluhan ako dun, dito po solid yung site hehe

kamusta na po pala yung sa inyo?

cucci

@aj.skywalker currently on 457 while waiting for invite.

Good day po ask lang po regarding registration after mag bridging. May nagsabi po kasi sakin na pwede pong gamitin for registratiom yung statutory declaration instead of getting ICHC again? Totoo po ba ito? Mejo pricey po kasi yung ICHC. Salamt po.

@lenita mam, ask ko lang po kung nagtry na din po kayo magapply sa mga aged care, mahirap din po ba? And within NSW lang po kayo nagapply? Hehe.. Salamat po.

cucci

@moogz01 Opo, StatDec na lang after BP pwede na.

You must arrange for a new Certificate of Good Standing or Certificate of Registration Status to be sent to AHPRA directly from the relevant authority.
Some applicants may need to provide additional information:

If your work history has changed since you initially applied for registration, you must:
provide an updated Statement of Service from your employer(s) covering the time since you initially applied
submit a new curriculum vitae that describes your full practice history and any training undertaken in accordance with the Information and definitions section of the AGBP-40 application form.
You will be required to apply for an international criminal history check if you:

lenita

@moogz02 yes natry ko na. madalas ang reply saken, they don't support sponsorship.

@aj.skywalker

https://www.anmac.org.au/skilled-migration-services/modified-skills-assessment
You will receive an email from ANMAC confirming receipt of your application and payment. If you have not received this email within 24 hours of applying online or are having difficulty uploading your supporting documentation, please contact us.

As to the LOD, last time it was still on paper and sent to my address as indicated when I applied for assessment. No idea if this time it will still be paper or electronic copy since the assessment status can now be viewed online.

lizzie86

Question what if hindi ka makapag bigay ng character reference for ANMAC from one of your previous employers?Example. Tatlo un hospitals na napasukan ko. However, Yung first hospital ko eh wala na mga seniors ko and boss ko. Alam nyo dn naman sa Philippines pahirapan bago makakuha ng reference letter.

cucci

@aj.skywalker submitted Nov 17 and received LOD dated Jan 9, so that's around 7 weeks... but I guess yung delay was more due to the Christmas holidays.

kymme

@lizzie86 are you going to claim points for that exp na wala ma provide na prof ref? it yes, are you still able to provide employment contract, payslip, ITR, SSS contribution or bank statement?

lizzie86

@kymme contract yes and payslip I can. ITR mahahanap ko naman sigurp un since goverment naman sya. thank you
