@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.

Hi maam, ask ko lang po ulit sa ANMAC niyo sorry, nagemail po ba sila na nagstart na yung assessment niyo or bigla nlng po dumating yung LOD niyo?

@Cassey hi ask ko lang po ulit pde bang ako nlang magdecide for conversion course or need muna iassess ng aphra? at sila po yung magdedecide. kasi i am planning po to just enroll nlang ng bsn tapos kung may mga accreditation po at umiksi yung schooling ko for two years then much better po. sa cdu ko po balak magenroll.

Avon3737

@Cassey mam, after po ba ng conversion hindi ka pa din po pde magregister if wala experience? possible po ba makakuha ng working experience as a nurse? may maghihire po ba na mga institution if wala pa pong registration from aphra? as i said po kasi last time, i don't have enough experience po that's why bsn po itatake ko sa darwin then right after po sana i will try to register po sa aphra para po magkalicense. pasensya na po medyo naguguluhan ako. hehe

Cassey

@Avon3737 With Conversion Course hindi mo na kailangan ng AHPRA Assessment basta mameet mo lang yung requirements ng school. After you finish the course, registration na sa AHPRA ang next. Makakapagregister ka pa rin kahit walang experience. Without the registration, you can’t work or be employed as an RN here.

Avon3737

@Cassey ah ok. Thank you talaga. So i can still be registered po kahit wala akong working experience sa pinas basta its under conversion. Is it better to take po ba conversion than bridging base po sa exp nyo?. Ano po ba usually yung requirement for conversion po? Pasensya na po daming tanong. Hehe

Cassey

@Avon3737 Ang ginagawa ng applicants na walang experience, gumagawa ng statutory declaration stating why they don’t have a Nursing experience. Sabi nung kakilala ko na nagConversion, hindi nagmamatter kung BP o Conversion, iba raw yung from hands-on-experience (work experience). It would still depend on the person, i guess.. With the requirements, you have to check the Uni’s website to see what the requirements are or you can book an appointment with IDP or AECC, free yung charge nila and they can help you out with your application.

Tanong po ako. Just like after bridging nakahanap agad ako ng work. May sponsor company na ako. Kailangn ko pa ba mag exit sa Oz at mag apply ng another visa?

juantamad

@Cassey Ask ko lang po kung san po under ung homecare nurse sa anzsco code? Thank you

Cassey

@juantamad Hi, check this link and compare your job role with the descriptions given.

Cassey

@penpendesarapin Depends on your visa condition. May visa kasi na ang maximum stay is only for 3mos. Kapag multiple entry, you can enter again without applying a new visa. Unfortunately, it takes few mos before a working visa is issued. After the interview, they normally call your referees to verify. Then they’ll draft the contract then if everything is good, they’ll ask you to sign it. After the contract signing, visa application comes next. Then comes the waiting period for the working visa grant...

Hello guys, pahingi naman ng tips para makahanap nh sponsorship, laging unsuccessful, or baka may alam kayo na nag ooffer pa din ng sponsorship. Thank you

kymme

@MissAussie ano specialty area mo? lesser chance of getting a sponsorsip n ngaun compared to more than 3 years ago. unless may specialty exp like theatre, icu, emergency, mental health etc na more than 5 yrs exp. or regional areas esp hosps and aged care. try applying directly to PR nlng pra full work rights

Hello po. Sa mga nakapag Anmac assessment na po or anyone na may idea kung ang exp ko po ay 3yrs as ophthalmic nurse (assist in surgeries specifically sa eye lang) ano po dapat iclaim ko sa anmac code? Yung perioperative po ba. Or yung NEC? Thanks po sa sasagot.

juantamad

Meron po ba dito galing UAE as homecare nurse? pwd po ba makahingi ng sample professional reference nyo na ginawa sa ANMAC. eto po email add ko [email protected]

MissAussie

Hello, sino po dito nagrant ng TSS na offshore? Need pa po ba ng OEC? May nakagawa na po ba neto na, kahit granted na working visa mo, ang prinesent mo sa immigration yung SC600 mo? Thank you

kymme

@MissAussie as far as i know, whatever your current visa is, yan dpat i present sa immigration officer. kasi once may bago or whatever active visa kana, makikita din nila yan. im not too sure about OEC

cucci

@MissAussie I agree with @kymme ...While it may be possible na wala man direct access ang local immigration natin with regard to visa details kasi it is more of a situation/problem with the arriving country rather than departing. Pag wala kang visa, di ka papapasukin. However that is the risk that you will have to take.

I am not sure anymore as to the process of getting OEC for direct hires. It is much easier kung dun ka na nung na-grant ang TSS mo kasi mas madali at mas mabilis mag-process sa POLO Office sa Canberra:

This is the email I got from them:
Please be informed that POLO Australia is processing OEC for vacationing Filipinos under the Balik Manggagawa Program of POEA. Please be further informed that the OEC is only valid for sixty days from the date of issuance.

Kindly create your BM Online Account if you do not still have or Reactivate if you have existing account through this website POEA :: Balik-Manggagawa Online Processing System. The instructions can be read or viewed in the website itself. Upload a full face picture with white background. (Note: In filling out the portion of Contract Details, the Latest Departure date is your latest flight from the Philippines going to Australia while the Latest Arrival date is your arrival in the Philippines for your next vacation)

Then set an appointment for the processing of your OEC by clicking the green button "Acquire OEC or Exemption" and choose the location: POLO Oceana Branch: Australia Yarralumla. Please make sure that your return to Australia is within the sixty day validity of the OEC from the date of your appointment. Once appointment was successfully made, kindly print out the copy of appointment and affix your signature.

Please take note that you do not need to appear personally to POLO Office for your scheduled appointment. The following are the requirements needed in securing an OEC which you need to send through courier c/o Philippine Embassy 1 Moonah Place Yarralumla ACT 2600 at least a day before your date of appointment:
1. signed employment contract
2. copy of your passport and visa
3. Signed Information Sheet generated from the BM Online appointment (go to "My Transactions")
4. Australian Money Order for the fees which can be bought from the Post Office
5. Self addressed envelope where we can post back your verified contract and receipts

The following are the fees: Verification is AU$18, OWWA Membership is AU$25 and OEC is AU$5 payable to Philippine Embassy POLO through Australian Money Order amounting to AU$48.00

Your processed OEC will be sent to your BM Online Account under "My Transaction" then print it out before your flight to Australia which you need to present before the immigration. You may enter the BM Online OEC Number on your next application for OEC and will be exempted from payment if you are returning to the same Employer and Jobsite.

If I may suggest, try calling POEA/OWWA anonymously and inquire as to the process on how to process OEC for direct hires.

MissAussie

cucci

@ZAC16 You can put 2 or more countries in 1 registration.

Hi meron po ba may alam na ospital na nagaccept ng assistant in nursing kahit walang cert pero may experience po as rn sa pinas..

kymme

@Rose05081993 dati ng work ako as nursing asistant using my RN degree sa Ph without any cert in Aus (i was doing bachelor in nursing then). this was 2015. i heard gngwa ng standard ang requirement ng cert in individual support to work as carer in nursing homes and cert in heakth servuces asistant to work as nursing asistant sa hosp.

Rose05081993

@kymme thank u mam....may alam u ba work nun kung diploma of early childhood education and care n ang course ntn n nurse nun

MissAussie

Hello, sino po dito naka tss, or while waiting for their tss? Thank you

kymme

@Rose05081993 is that your main goal na maging early childhood teacher or stepping stone lang to be an RN? to be honest, mahirap mkkuha ng work na related sa inaral mo like dip in early childhood, u can do ghildcare centres but i think not until matapos yung course. dpende cguro sa employer kung ok lng na ongoing. mdami din nmn na odd jobs like cleaning, kitchenhand, dishwahing, retail etc while doing ur studies. wag lang mapili sa work bsta mk earn lng ng money png living expenses.

if youre planning to do bridging program in between your diploma, mas ok yun. pra once u get your RN rego, u can start working as an AuRN (dpending on your work rights)

Rose05081993

@kymme thank u mam.....stepping stone lng po mam ung early childhood course mas mura po kasi as compare sa other courses din kung makaipon po magbridging n dn kahit d pa tpos ung diploma course...i heard from a friend din po na pwede magloan sa australia para po may pangbridging d ko nga lang po sure ano po mga requirements for that loan..
