@yeyel Naku matagal din pala dumating yung LOE no? Nakapagsubmit nako ng requirements maliban sa COGS. Kaso, kelangan ko pa icomplete yung 450 hours na needed for bridging. Initially kasi, ung case officer ko sinabihan ako magbridging nalang kesa magbachelor tutal daw may experience naman ako. Unluckily, nung binigay ko yung papers ko sa documentation specialist nila hindi raw tatanggapin ng aphra yun. So ayun after ko makapagsubmit mg docs, saka ako sinabihan na hindi raw valid un experience ko sa bpo kaya pinapagduty ako. Iniisip ko nga kung itutuloy ko pa yun bridging magduty muna ko 3 months or magbachelor like the others here. Hehehe
@Cassey Thanks. Need ko na magrenew pala agad. Im doing Bachelors of Nursing 2years siya..Anong form ung sasagutan ko? So pwede ko na submit ung aphra registration to follow ung good standing?

@patet34 It's the AGOS 40. Pwede ka ng kumuha ng PRC good standing provided na pag dumating siya sa AHPRA eh nakalodge na rin application mo. Kumbaga proper timing lang. It takes 2 weeks kasi for the good standing from PRC to be delivered to AHPRA.

@FayeSim hi faye! Can you please gelp me with PTE. I need to get superior score. Nagtake na ako kaso hindi umabot ang Speaking ko. Im planning to take the exam again. Any tips and advice po. Thank you!
1. Okay lang kung less than 3yrs. You can still apply as long as you meet the 60 points for migration. 2. Pwede mo naman siyang ilagay, just make a note there na they are not releasing COE yet.

@FayeSim You will only need 3yrs if you will be claiming points for your work experience (5points) but If otherwise, you don't have to. If you will make a note, it would be best to have it notarized. Ganun kasi gawa nila rito sa Au (they call it Statutory Declaration). Walang anuman and God bless with your application.

MIss @Cassey okay lang po ba kung hindi nko mg pa skills assessement sa anmac after bridging since 60 points na? Sorry medyo confused lang po. Thanks po ulit
Ay gets ko na po pala. Need padin pero ititick ko lang yung No for LOD points. Hehe. Tama po ba?
CasseyMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,812Member, Moderator Joined: Sep 07, 2015
@FayeSim Prerequisite yung ANMAC skills assessment for the PR Application. Without that, hindi ka makakapagapply. Nakalagay sa LOD mo kung suitable ka for migration or not. Dun mo rin ibibase yung pwede mong iclaim na points.

@Cassey Hi sis! ive read your comments and seems you know everything, good thing! can you help me decide though, im having a hard time what to choose either BP or conversion.
here's mine
3 years ++ work exp in a tertiary hosp 31 years old will take pte by sept this year
Lets say I pass the exam and be able to get the 65 scores in all components what do you think is the best for me to apply for? BP or conversion? I know this would be based on my preference I just want to have another idea and opinion from you and others here in the forum.
Thank you! God bless!
CasseyMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,812Member, Moderator Joined: Sep 07, 2015
@lizzzie Hi, since you have an overseas experience (was it within the last 5yrs prior to application?) I suggest that you take the bridging program on the basis that it's shorter in duration. After 3 mos, you can already start the process for becoming a Permanent Resident here whereas with conversion, it takes a year or two to finish the course.

"Moving from US to AU: Planning to be a nurse in AU"
Hi All! I am new here and I am glad I found this forum!
Here's my situation: Living in the USA for 2 yrs now, Just granted a PR visa in Aus & a nurse back in the Philippines.
Share ko na din muna ang aking story sainyo before I ask some questions & advice from you guys.. Nandito kami ngayon currently sa US together with my husband, but planning to migrate na lang sa Aus which we are thinking kasi na mas ok mag start ng family and career compared dito sa US, especially nowadays na lalong mas bumagal ang immigration system dito.
Ang main applicant nga pla is yung husband ko, he is a medical lab scientist and na-meet nia yung point system for PR (189). While nag pprepare kami ngayon dito to move sa Aus, I am researching na din sa AHPRA website & dito sa forum kung paano mag apply sa Aus as RN. Actually, sobrang laking tulong nitong forum, I learned a lot na kaagad based sa mga comments and pag share ng experiences ng ating mga kababayan. I have some specific concerns lang and hopefully sa pamamagitan nitong forum, ma-enlighten ako about the application process to become an RN sa Aus.
My concerns: 1.ENGLISH TEST: Ano po kaya ang madaling ma-pass and ma-meet agad yung required score ng AHPRA in one take, IELTS or PTE? 2.AHPRA: Am I qualified pa din po kaya for bridging program even if may gap na yung last RN experience ko sa Pinas? My last RN experience was 2015 po. 3.TUITION FEE: As PR, may student discount po kaya sa bridging program?
Thank you so much po sa mga makakasagot ng mga dilemma ko, big help!:) God bless us all!
CasseyMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,812Member, Moderator Joined: Sep 07, 2015
1. Mas madaling makakuha ng high score with PTE.
2. Qualified ka pa rin for bridging as long as your experience is within 5yrs prior to application.
3. Based on my reading, I think the rate will be the same as the Commonwealth Fee but it says that you have to pay for it upfront.
All the best on your move.

Good day,
Bago ko lang nakita tung forum na to and I think it is reallt helpful and I hope may makatulong sa akin in answering my questions and makatulong din ako sa mga same ng situation sa akin. Well anyway, I'll tell a bit of my road to australia story.
I am currently a nurse here in London. I arrived 2014 so dun pa ako sa old programme of acquiring a license. Parang bridging programme din so fortunately, AHPRa recognized my bridging programme here in the UK so currently I am already registered as a nurse in AHPRA.
Now, I will be starting my ANMAC para maka lodge na ako ng PR visa and hopefully lipat na ng australia next year.
Medyo nalilito ako sa mga requirements kasi most ng kakilala ko is ng BP pero medyo clear na sya but my question is, kasing strict ba ng AHPRA ang ANMAC? Kasi prob ko ngayon is ang COGS. Ngwork kasi ako sa saudi before, so sa mga ng saudi, masyadong hassle ang pgkuha ng COGS kasi dapat may kakilala ka dun. Sympre makakahassle ka ng ibang tao. In my case, ung pinsan ko ang na hahassle ko, kala ko tapos na ung nightmare ko nung AHPRA, di pa pala kasi needed sya ulit sa ANMAC.
Pwede ba ung old ko na COGS from saudi (january 25) issued. Then ako nalang mgsesend sa ANMAC? Kasi inask ko ulit pinsan ko pero parang patay mali sya sa tanong ko huhu
Sana may makatulong dito sa tanong ko.

Hi, yes kasing strict ng ANMAC ang AHPRA. Unfortunately, it's clearly stated on the ANMAC page that it should be sent directly to them. Maybe try searching it in google baka may nagpoprovide ng ganyang service.
Whatever documents that you've passed to AHPRA, it's pretty much the same with the ANMAC requirements. Keep a copy of these documents because you'll be using them in your PR Application as well. God bless.

yes po until now nagwowork pa po ako as a nurse. naliwanagan ako kahit papaano.. I'm just worried if I can still have a part time job ther kahit na nagaaral ako sa BP?
CasseyMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,812Member, Moderator Joined: Sep 07, 2015
@lizzzie It would all depend on what visa you'll be applying for. If it's student visa, then you're allowed to work 20hrs a week but if you decide to get the Visitor Visa, it doesn't have work rights. I'm not sure if the others who are doing a bridging program still have time to work though.

Hello Ms @Cassey! I was reading AHPRA's website po and I came across this COGS (cert of good standing). This may have been answered in previous or other threads here but anyways, I'll just ask again. How do I request PRC to send a copy of COGS/cert of registration to AHPRA directly? Thanks in advance!

@diazepamie Hi, Personally ka ba na pupunta sa PRC o may representative ka na kukuha? Ipifill up lang ang form and just let them know to send it to AHPRA's postal address. I couldn't remember how much it is though. If you have a representative, make an Authorization Letter and have them to bring a copy of your ID.

While nag pprepare kami ngayon dito to move sa Aus, I am researching na din sa AHPRA website & dito sa forum kung paano mag apply sa Aus as RN. Actually, sobrang laking tulong nitong forum, I learned a lot na kaagad based sa mga comments and pag share ng experiences ng ating mga kababayan. I have some specific concerns lang and hopefully sa pamamagitan nitong forum, ma-enlighten ako about the application process to become an RN sa Aus.
My concerns:
1.ENGLISH TEST: Ano po kaya ang madaling ma-pass and ma-meet agad yung required score ng AHPRA in one take, IELTS or PTE?
2.AHPRA: Am I qualified pa din po kaya for bridging program even if may gap na yung last RN experience ko sa Pinas? My last RN experience was 2015 po.
3.TUITION FEE: As PR, may student discount po kaya sa bridging program?
Thank you so much po sa mga makakasagot ng mga dilemma ko, big help!:)
God bless us all!

1. Mas madaling makakuha ng high score with PTE.
2. Qualified ka pa rin for bridging as long as your experience is within 5yrs prior to application.
3. Based on my reading, I think the rate will be the same as the Commonwealth Fee but it says that you have to pay for it upfront.
All the best on your move.

Bago ko lang nakita tung forum na to and I think it is reallt helpful and I hope may makatulong sa akin in answering my questions and makatulong din ako sa mga same ng situation sa akin. Well anyway, I'll tell a bit of my road to australia story.
I am currently a nurse here in London. I arrived 2014 so dun pa ako sa old programme of acquiring a license. Parang bridging programme din so fortunately, AHPRa recognized my bridging programme here in the UK so currently I am already registered as a nurse in AHPRA.
Now, I will be starting my ANMAC para maka lodge na ako ng PR visa and hopefully lipat na ng australia next year.
Medyo nalilito ako sa mga requirements kasi most ng kakilala ko is ng BP pero medyo clear na sya but my question is, kasing strict ba ng AHPRA ang ANMAC? Kasi prob ko ngayon is ang COGS. Ngwork kasi ako sa saudi before, so sa mga ng saudi, masyadong hassle ang pgkuha ng COGS kasi dapat may kakilala ka dun. Sympre makakahassle ka ng ibang tao. In my case, ung pinsan ko ang na hahassle ko, kala ko tapos na ung nightmare ko nung AHPRA, di pa pala kasi needed sya ulit sa ANMAC.
Pwede ba ung old ko na COGS from saudi (january 25) issued. Then ako nalang mgsesend sa ANMAC? Kasi inask ko ulit pinsan ko pero parang patay mali sya sa tanong ko huhu
Sana may makatulong dito sa tanong ko.

Hi, yes kasing strict ng ANMAC ang AHPRA. Unfortunately, it's clearly stated on the ANMAC page that it should be sent directly to them. Maybe try searching it in google baka may nagpoprovide ng ganyang service.
Whatever documents that you've passed to AHPRA, it's pretty much the same with the ANMAC requirements. Keep a copy of these documents because you'll be using them in your PR Application as well. God bless.
