By the way, I don't think na idedeny nila yung student visa based on English language ability, wala naman silang hinihingi eh na minimum. Yung English ability is for the school and for subsequent rego with AHPRA. Also, it will be used for work purposes and for SkillSelect

Given that, one of the requirements for AHPRA Registration is English ability equivalent to IELTS Academic all 7 within 2 takes, nothing below 6.5. AS of the moment, yan yung latest law. For the process, try checking NMBA/AHPRA website, everything is in there. You just need to read and research. Also, for the purpose of AHPRA, only select countries will be exempted for having studied English as medium of instruction.
According to AHPRA hindi nila nirerecognise yung education sa atin as Bachelor Degree, so hindi mo na kailangan i prove yung standards, i.e. accreditation, pharmacology subject. So there are 2 courses to take, either a. submit an application for assessment (AGOS-40 form)>bridging>complete rego or b. take up Bachelor Degree>complete rego (AGEN-40 form)

I just want to ask if it is okay to do bp rather than conversion? After registration as RN in AU can you apply for PR immediately? I asked a migration agent and he said I have 65 points already? Im 28yrs old and have 4 years of experience here..I'm confused because my original plan was to take conversion rather than bp. Help guys thanks!

Ask ko lang po kung tama ba pagkakaintindi ko about sa english requirements ng ANMAC and AHPRA. Balak ko kasi mag migrate sa AU then isama ang wife ko, bale ako ang main applicant and nasa IT field, siya naman ay Nurse sa pinas, so bale dependent ko siya, at dahil dito eh d na niya need mag ANMAC tama? AHPRA nalang? Tapos accepted ang PTE-ACEDEMIC sa AHPRA?
Nurse English requirements
ANMAC
- Need if you are a main applicant
- IELTS and OET accepted
- PTE-Academic NOT accepted
AHPRA
- Need to be registered nurse in AU
- IELTS, OET, PTE-Academic accepted
Tama po ba yung details na yan?

By the way ask ko lang, sa signature niyo eh kayo lang mag isa pumunta sa AU muna? Meaning yung husband niyo eh naiwan muna? Pwede pala mauna ang dependent kaysa sa main applicant?

in regards to ICHC you can apply for it before or after k n nag submit nang docs sa aphra. you should this earlier kasi if you have worked in multiple countries isa2x nila yan icheck and could take significant amount of time.
