Bridging Program/ IRON Program

Cassey

@ykcul_kcul Hi, sa pagkakaalala niya it refers to the uni here in Au where you finished your course. They will send some documents to AHPRA. Usually naman, automatic ng ginagawa yun ng schools.

jhocel

Hi! po good day new po ako dito ano po marerecommend nyo mag agency or self apply po for IRON program?

Cassey

@ykcul_kcul Pwede depende sa kung gaano katagal yung magiging course mo. If I'm not mistaken not more than 3mos of study. Wala nga lang yung work rights pag TV. Feel free to ask anytime

Cassey

@jhocel Try IDP or AECC Global.. Their services are free.

jhocel

@Cassey thanks ms. Cassey Im interested in going to australia as a nurse but I dont know where to start.

Hi po mam @Cassey.. Follow up question mam, if more than 3 months po ung bridging course mo, pwd po bang ma.extend pa ung TV? or need mo talaga umuwi after 3months? Salamat po ulit mam..

Cassey

@ykcul_kcul If I'm not mistaken, 3mos ka lang allowed na magaral under TV. Ang TV pwedeng 3/6/12mos depende sa ibibigay sayo ng immigration pero ang study rights niya is not more than 3mos and you really have to go home after certain mos kahit pa 1yr yung binigay sayo. Hindi siya pwedeng tuloy tuloy. Pag yung course mo is more than 3mos, you have to get a different visa. This is if hindi pa nagbabago yung rules ng immigration. Kung hindi naman TV, baka yung Training visa (407) pwede.

Cassey

@jhocel I see, Get an English test and see if you can meet the requirements for the bridging course if you have an experience or if not you can do a conversion course. All the best. Yeah, try to do it as soon as you can habang di pa nagbabago yung ruling nila rito sa Au.

Hello guys. I'm nurse and wanting to go for bridging program in aus. I just passed the PTe exam and now completing my docs for AHPRA assessment. Ang worry ko lang is that I already stopped working as a nurse for almost a year na. Ma approve pa kaya ako ng AHPRA? But I got 6 yrs hospital experience from year 2009-2016. Thanks po

jhocel

@Cassey I already passed my pte Ms. Cassey nag woworry din po ako if after ng bridging makakakuha ba ng work agad sa AU. kasi mahal yung bridging course.

Cassey

@jhocel That's good. I would say not to rely on any sponsorship but to come up with another plan just in case wala kang makuhang work. It's harder now since they're already abolishing the 457 visa and the process now for employers are harder than before. They've been imposing a lot of changes these past few days.
Pag hindi naman sponsorship ang habol mo, maraming work for nurses that's for sure. As long as you have a good overseas experience especially If it's in a specialty area then hindi ka mahihirapang makahanap ng work.

Cassey

@reesechocs Hi, As long as they don't change the rules, that should be fine. Ang tinitignan naman nilang experience is within the past 5yrs.

jhocel

@Cassey thanks for the info Ms. Cassey very helpful. habol ko po talaga yung sponsorship. Any tips to find one?

Cassey

@jhocel At the moment, I'm not quite sure kung ano ang scenario with the work sponsorship visa since just few days ago, they have just announced new ruling which abolishes the old 457 Visa. Usually, ang nagbibigay ng sponsorships ay yung mga nasa regional areas. If you have 3yrs work experience in a hospital, there's a chance that you can get one. Once you gain your registration, you can hand in your resume to Agencies here in Au. They will pass your CV to employers and if they like you, you'll get an interview. Just be confident and speak fluently in English. Make sure that your referees are aware that employers might call them to ask about the details written on your CV and reference letter.
If you have a good experience and meet the required points for PR, i would suggest that you apply for it instead especially with all the drastic changes that are happening lately.

jhocel

@Cassey I have 3yrs experience in a secondary hospital. I really appreciate your advice Ms. Cassey it motivates me God bless you!

Cassey

@jhocel No worries, I'm glad to be of help. All the best with your application. If you pursue it, don't forget to bring your imporatnt documents with you.

ykcul_kcul

@Cassey ah ganon po mam... Ok po... Maraming salamat po ulit...

jhocel

@Cassey any recommendations po Ms. Cassey for a good bridging school?

Cassey

@jhocel Which state are you planning to go to?

ykcul_kcul

@Cassey ah ganon po bah mam... Ok maam salamat po ulit sa info nyo...

Cassey

@ykcul_kcul Walang anuman, goodluck with your application Huwag mo ng patagalin at baka magbago pa uli ng rules ang gov't.

@Cassey Hi maam, may alam po ba kayo about tourist visa for bridging? Ask ko lang po kung nadedeny pa po ba yun kung may certificate of admission na ako sa school?

Cassey

@aj.skywalker Oo naman may tendency na madeny kung hindi mo mamemeet yung requirements ng Immigration. Magkaiba naman kasing institution yan. Hindi guarantee yung Cert of Admission na makakakuha ka ng visa.
Ang alam ko pag TV, yung study ay dapat not more than 3mos, I'm not sure if it's still the rule though sa dami ng changes.
