Hi @MeiMei! hmm.. It's not easy as suggesting you only 1 path to take. To practice here you need to be 1. registered with AHPRA and during whatever course you take have 2. a valid visa.

For AHPRA, you can 1. get your Philippine credentials assessed, after which they will recommend you to take a bridging course, and finally reapply with AHPRA for registration. 2. take a conversion course of 1-2 years, and apply with AHPRA. some courses do not lead to registration so be careful, and 3. take the full Bachelor course (3 years) or do a post-grad Masters degree leading to registration (pre-registration) (2 years).

Different visas will apply for each pathway. Plus, you will need to take consideration of future pathways.

For AHPRA check their website. There is a useful thread about applying for internationally-trained nurses from the Philippines at allnurses.com Just google it.

Hi guys,

Na try nyo na po ba mag wire transfer before nuong sa pinas pa kayo? nag wire transfer kasi ako using my bpi bank to ANZ bank darwin branch ng school. pero its been 5 working days na since last 21 oct i made my transfer. hindi parin po daw nila na rerecieve sa bank account nila. nag wowory na ako kasi sabi ng bpi 2-3 days lang daw clearing nito then matatangap na ng bank ng school. sana dadating this week para matangap ko na eCOE ko at ng maka process na sa student visa :-)

ano po ba ang mga possble na ngyayari dahil sa delay and babalik ba ang pera ko sa account ko sakaling hindi nila ma process? sino po ang naka experience sa inyo ng ganitong delay? my way ba para ma monitor ang process?
