Hi! I'd like to know if I will be qualified on taking the conversion course with my 1 year work experience and with a gap of more than 5 years. Got licensed 2010 then worked 2011-2012 then worked on another field after until now although. I'm actually working now as a Medical English Teacher, I'm not sure if it is counted as an experience. Also, I took my IELTS and got 8.5 L, 7.5 R & S, and 6.5 W. what do I need to do next, AHPRA first or send application to schools? How long does it take to process everything including the visa? Another thing, would it be better to bring my family, a baby and a toddler and husband or wait for the PR(how long). Please help. Thank you very much!

@nursesam Go to the websites of the schools offering the conversion course, they usually state there if you need an experience for the conversion course. Mostly sa mga nabasa ko, they require at least 3mos recent experience but there might be some schools that MIGHT not require work experience. With the English test, it also varies depending on the requirement of the Uni you’ll be enrolling in. Some schools require students to take an English program if they don’t meet the english requirement. If you want to do a conversion course, you can book an appointment with IDP or AECC, their services are free. Processing will depend on how complete your requirements are.. You can bring your hubby with you as your dependent but with the kids it might be difficult. I wouldn’t suggest that you bring your kids. You can just put them on your PR application later on. With the PR application, it would depend on AHPRA and ANMAC waiting time, waiting time for the invitation to apply for PR and waiting time for the grant itself. Have you estimated how many points you’ll have? You need to at least have 60 points to apply for 189 and 55 points + 5 points (state nomination) on Visa 190.

Hello, Im done with my PTE, currently gathering all my documents for AHPRA, ask ko lang if after bridging may work kayang mahahanap? 2 year onco nurse

Cassey · September 2017

@MissAussie With your specialization and work experience, you have a big chance.

MissAussie · September 2017

@Cassey hi mam. thank you

may sample ba kayo for statement of service? or manggaling yun sa HR mismo. kaso previous work ko as a surgery ward nurse volunteer lang, then currently onco nurse as staff nurse

nursesam · September 2017

@Cassey thanks for the info. I only know about the AHPRA. I still have to check about the ANMAC. How long do you think does it take to finish AHPRA approval? Also, still have to check on my points.

Cassey · September 2017

@MissAussie Hi, sorry wala eh. Ano yung statement of service? Do you mean Cert of Employment? Yung volunteer work hindi mo siya makiclaim sa ANMAC for experience, Yung paid work lang.

Cassey · September 2017

@nursesam If you will do Conversion Course, you don’t have to get an eligibility letter (LOE) from AHPRA. LOE is only needed for the bridging course. You just need to choose the Uni and submit the requirements and go through the student visa process.

You’ll only have to apply for AHPRA after finishing your course for registration as a Nurse here in Au.

We have a points calculator here on the forum. http://pinoyau.info/plugin/page/point-system

MissAussie · September 2017

@Cassey i see. thank you

madami pala tong paglodge ng docs sa ahpra. ang toxic

Cassey · September 2017

@MissAussie Just take it easy and do it one at a time until maaccomplish mo lahat. Make sure that you bring the original documents to Au as well because you’ll be needing almost the same set of documents for ANMAC and for PR application once you finish your course.

MissAussie · September 2017

@Cassey yes thank you! one more thing, lahat ba ng requirements nasa agos-40 naman o lahat diba?

ishtar · September 2017

After fit2work ano po next step?

Cassey · September 2017

@MissAussie Have you checked the first page of this thread? The requirements are listed there. Yes, seems like the requirements are in AGOS-40 as well.

nursesam · September 2017

@Cassey thank you. An agency message me and aside from Bridging Course they are offering another pathway which is CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING(CPL) which can be accomplished for 8 months. I wonder if this is the same with Conversion Course. Any thoughts please. Sorry I just started learning about these stuff and still on the search for better opportunity for me and at fhe same time making myself more informed to avoid being scammed.

nursesam · September 2017

@Cassey i check the point assessment. I'm not so sure if i take the conversion course for 1 year be counted as "yes" on the australia educational qualification since

Cassey · September 2017

@nursesam With the conversion course, it’s actually a shortened Bachelor’s course because they consider the prior qualification gained but I’m not sure if it’s the same thing. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t count as an Australian education qualification if the course is just a year.

Cassey · September 2017

@elaine_ Refer to the first page of this thread for the requirements and for the required format of CV and reference letter.

MissAussie · September 2017

Guys, ask ko lang regarding
Criterion 2: yung template from NMBA website yun isasubmit ko sa school para sila ang magprovide then sila na din mag send to AHPRA?

Criterion 3: Sa CHED, template from AHPRA, then sila din magsisend ng docs to AHPRA?

Or pwede naman po ako na ang magsisend ng docs from school na mismo?

Criterion 8: ano po nirequest nyo directly sa school? With regard to pharma? Thank you sa mga makakasagot

nursesam · September 2017

@Cassey thanks. By the way, I was checking the requirements for PR. One of them is the IELTS however it's not specified whether it is academic or general.would academic be just fine?

Cassey · September 2017

@nursesam Hi, I think immigration accepts both but I’m not sure how particular they are. Maybe email them and see what they say.

nursesam · September 2017

Ok, thanks cassey

ishtar · October 2017

Strict po ba sa vaccination record ang AU?

Cassey · October 2017

@ishtar What do you mean with “strict”?

Cassey · October 2017

@Neydin Just look at the first page of this thread for the requirements so you can start collating your documents. All the best!

Cassey · October 2017

@lott.online Check the first page of this thread for the requirements. Take note as well na may certain format na binbigay ang ANMAC at AHPRA for the CV and Reference Letter. All the best.

September 28, 2017 All APHRA DOCUMENTS sent to AHPRA PERTH via DHL Courrier
October 2, 2017 Documents Received by AHPRA Perth tracked via DHL Tracking Website
October 5, 2017 Received Email from AHPRA notifying me that they received my documents.

So far, anjan palang ako.

1.Gaano katagal kaya sila mag bigay ng LOE ngayon?
2. If sa Perth ako nagsend ng Documents ko and AHPRA Perth also gave me the LOE, sa PERTH din ba dapat ako mag BP?
3. how true yung 6 months na daw and BP starting next year?
4. and kung sakaling dapat sa perth ako mag BP, anong school ang maganda? and kung kahit saan naman, anong school maganda sa Melby or Syndey?
5. Meron po ba dito target is January or February 2018 Intake? please keep in touch.

sunshineee28 · October 2017

1. Depende po, mine took 2 months kasi AHPRA told me that I have some documents that needed recertification. If wala namang prob sa documents mo, mas mabilis mong mkukuha, some said 1 month lng yung sa kanila, yung iba less than a month pa nga. Depende rin siguro sa ngpprocess ng papers mo.

2. Ngpass din ako sa PERTH ng docs ko but sa NSW ang napili kong school. I've read it doesn't matter nmn kung san ka ngpass ng docs.

3. Not really sure. Meron pa din namang 3 months. My scheduled intake is on FEB 2018. 3 months pa din nmn.

4. Try researching na lang sa net and read some forum pra sa mga opinion ng iba.

5. Im for feb 2018.
