Hi, just wanna ask some help about Nursing students applying for 189. My wife is about to finish her studies, 1 year Bachelor in Nursing, this December and she'll be graduating this February.
We heard that we can start preparing requirements by December, but I'm not familiar with any of the requirements for Nursing's Skills Assessment.

Can I ask any tips or idea where we could start gathering requirements?
Also, what's the difference between ANMAC and AHPRA?

Thanks!

@se29m question po. Pwede po ba ako magpa assess sa anmac if hindi pa ko nakapag bridging? Dito po ang exp ko sa PH.

momsienikki · November 2016

@anoja hubby ko din main applicant. Nurse ako dito sa pinas. Visa 189 sya. So kunin sana namin additional 5 points for spouse. Need ko magpa assess sa anmac and mag ielts. Question ko is, qualified ba ko magpa assess? Kahit wala bridging?

momsienikki · November 2016

Guyssss.. Kindly help me. Hubby ko ang main applicant (visa 189) software engineer. Gusto namin iclaim ang additional 5 points for spouse. Nurse ako dito sa pinas.
OR nurse for 5 years. Ano po need ko gawin para makuha namin ang 5 points aside sa pag take ng english exam? Salamat po ng madami!

@se29m okay lang magpa assess sa anmac kahit dito ako nurse sa pinas at walang bridging?

tooties · November 2016

@momsienikki You will be able to pass ANMAC assessment. But you wont have any option to work here since you dont have a AusRN license. No one will hire you anyway until you have your AusRN license..So the correct way to do is get Aphra RN license either through BSN/BRIDGING COURSE/ CONVERSION COURSE. Get Sponsorship, apply modified anmac assessment then apply PR.
No shortcut to it. otherwise there would have been more nurses here.

tooties · November 2016

@momsienikki To claim 5points for spouse.
Both you and your husband should have a your respective license to work meaning my APHRA registration k n rin and both you and your husband have your skills assessment each from your respective assessing authority.

So if wala k p aphra registration kahit pasado k anmac assessment di nyo ma claim ang additional 5points. Kasi iba ang jurisdiction nang aphra at anmac.
anmac is like ched they regulate schools that deliver nursing course. and aphra is like prc they are the once that gives license and regulates health professionals. so you need approval from both.

momsienikki · November 2016

@tooties thank you so much! Kasama kasi namin ang baby namin. So ang plan, baka hindi po muna ako mag work agad. Kahit positive assessment po ako sa Anmac, hindi padin po makukuha ni hubby ang 5 points? Tama po ba? Processing na po ang ACS assessment ni hubby.

tooties · November 2016

@momsienikki Yes.

momsienikki · November 2016

@revsky magpapa register ka din sa ahpra?

anoja · November 2016

@momsienikki,, mam visa 189 din c hubby ko..visa processing narin po ba kayo? ang advice sakin ng iba dito sa forum..mag take muna ng ielts para makapag bridging prog then pa register sa APHRA..yun nga lang same situation siguro tayo..ipon muna bago makapag bridging program sa au..ang worry ko lang wala bang age limit yun school and work djan kung mag iipon muna..

cheng1003 · January 2017

hello po. im planning to go sa australia. im a nurse here in oman at my 3 yrs exp sa pinas sa health center at 3 yrs exp sa hospital. pahelp nman po magdeceide. naguguluhan kc aq. which is better po ba take immediately the bridging course or kuha ng PR then hanap muna work saka kuha ng bridging? if magbridging po aq how much po magagasto ko? i went to an agency to inquire po pero mas naguluhan aq. so please help me po kung ano mas ok.. thank you.

aishee5 · January 2017

@cheng1003 As what i've heard from friends who are in OZ, matagal daw ang approval ng PR for nurses pag hindi ka nag aral muna. may iba daw nag apply ng PR la pa din result so nag bridging course nlng daw. mas mabilis pag nag bridging course ka muna.

cheng1003 · January 2017

@aishee5 my cnb kc ang agency sa akin about vetasses po yun ang ggmitin q pra makakuha ng PR taz hanap muna ibang work like mother craft nurse. ska kuha ng bridging course.

joffy · January 2017

Hello po..currently im working in saudia arabia..balak ko na pong umalis dito at mag apply sana sa Australia. 10 years na po ako as theatre nurse. Sa ngaun mgtetake pa ako ng ielts. Ask ko lang po anong mairecommend nyo..if i will apply on my own or to go to an agency?and marami bang nag hihire ng theatre nurse sa Australia? Thank you po

revsky · January 2017

@joffy Hi Joffy. suggestion lang,take ka ng PTE-Academic. Mas mabilis ang results 1-2 days. pwede ka mag-DIY sa AHPRA application- follow mo lang yung requirements. once may AHPRA referral letter ka na, hanap ka ng school na accredited for bridging program. check IHNA, ETEA, ACFE. sa IHNA minsan may promo yan sila -free accommodation for 1st 4 wks sa school. In-demand sa Oz ang RN lalo na sa specialty area like Critical care at Theater. sana maka-apply ka bago mag-July 2017 -di natin alam baka meron na naman bagong rule/policy ang AHPRA at sa immigration.
once registered ka na sa Ahpra at may ANMAC assessment ka na. apply ka agad ng Permanent residency-malaki points mo dahil may 10 yrs experience ka na.

Good luck!

joffy · January 2017

@revsky thank you so much sa reply mo. Ganun na nga gagawin ko mg DIY ako sa APHRA..may mga apprehensions lang ako kasi di ko alam kung anong next step na gagawin. May idea po ba kau magkano gagastusin sa BP? Thank you po ulit

revsky · January 2017

@cheng1003 ..much better mag- bridging program ka muna then once RN ka na. apply ka sa mga hospitals/aged care facility na pwedeng mag-sponsor ng working visa 457. or kung walang mahanap na sponsor. then, apply for permanent residency.
Good luck!
