@eyenurse hi. im from dxb too working for more than 4 years now. unfortunately, you really need COGS from DHA. and you cannot get that if you dont have DHA license. AHPRA is very clear on that. they dont need all those recommendation letter. its not one of the requirements.

Hi, ask lang po sana ko ng advice. I'll be finishing my nursing course this november. mejo confused lang ako papano mgapply for ahpra. Which documents ang kailangan ko na asikasuhin as early as now? Thank u po sa sasagot.

Cassey · October 2017

@yssabanana Are you taking up conversion course?

zballesteros · October 2017

good evening po sa lahat dito sa forum, hihingi po sana ko ng advice sa lahat.
i'm a civil engineer planning to lodge visa 189.
my girlfriend is a registered nurse in the philippines with 2 yrs clinic nurse exp without hosp experience.
gusto ko po sana sya isama sa au as my de facto with partner visa.
tpos i'm thinking na pakuhain sya ng bridging while in australia so she could also work there.
ang question ko po is ano mas ok, kunin ko sya as defacto partner visa at isama sken sa au,
or apply sya ng sarili with visa 189 or other types of visas applicable?

di ko po kasi alam ang mga pwedeng maging circumstances. maraming salamat po sa sasagot!

@Cassey RN na po ko sa pinas, then patapos na po course ko ngaun sa Oz. I did it for 2 years here.

Cassey · October 2017

@yssabanana

You need to have an English test then you have to fill up the AGOS Form 40 then submit the needed documents. You can check the requirements on the first page of this link. http://pinoyau.info/discussion/8762/nurses-what-you-need-to-know/p1

You also have to submit your certificate/Diploma from your Uni here in Au.

@zballesteros better i dependent mo xa sa 189 kasi cheaper and once PR ka, PR n din xa. pra sabay n kayo mgkksama and its cheaper.

zballesteros · October 2017

@kymme thank you po sa reply, ask ko lng din po, registered nurse sya with 2 yrs exp sa clinic, ano mas ok bridging or mag aral sya sa university? how long it takes ung 2? at ano mas expensive? salamat po ulit!

eyenurse · October 2017

@syaoran yes sir i know that po. Kya di ko ideclare na nurse un present work ko po. I dunno if they will still question if il pur ophthalmic clinic assistant. I will use po un expi ko nalang s pinas as RN. Thanks sa advice po. Sir pede ko mkuha whstsapp mo mag ask lng ako few questions po bout sa process. Thank u

kymme · October 2017

@zballesteros bridging is faster, cheaper and practical. provided recent yung work nya as RN.

zballesteros · October 2017

@kymme thank you so much!

mumayme · October 2017

Hi po. Ask lang po sana kung ok lang po ba ang clinic nurse na experience po? Wala po kasi akong hospital experience. Salamat po.

Cassey · October 2017

@mumayme Okay lang ang clinic nurse basta may proof kang maipapakita with regards to that experience.

kymme · October 2017

@mumayme yes po ok lng clinic bsta sa paperworks/payslip mo RN nklagay. sa anmac, general practice yung classification

mumayme · October 2017

@kymme @Cassey salamat po

yssabanana · October 2017

@Cassey thank you. clarify ko lang rin, pde nba ako magrequest ng certificate of good standing from prc at int'l criminal history check as early as now? iniisip ko kc baka mauna siya masend sa AHPRA before ako actually makapagprocess ng application.

Cassey · October 2017

@yssabanana It would depend on when you’ll be submitting your documents. I can give you an estimate. Usually, COGS turnaround time is 2weeks... With Intl Criminal Hx Check, if I remembered it right, it’s around 2weeks as well. I think I’ve read somewhere that AHPRA will keep your papers for 60days, I just can’t remember where though.

Cassey · October 2017

@kymme Any tips for yssabanana para mapabilis yung registration niya ng AHPRA. Thanks.

kymme · October 2017

@yssabanana as soon as ma finish mo na yung exams pr placement mo sa uni, submit mo na lahat reqs mo sa ahpra. nsa website yung list nila. for the meantime, process mo na din yung COGS mo sa PRC kasi 3 months nmn validity nun. pg nasubmit mo na yung sa ahpra docs, i pdala mo na din yung cogs. and apply for your ICHC days before ka mg submit sa ahpra. but sa na observe ko ngaun, mej mabagal ang ahpra sa dami ng nag apply. but priority nila ang mga galing uni.

yssabanana · October 2017

@kymme thank you! ung ICHC ba online nlang pag request? may nagsabi kc sakin, pdala daw ako ng authorisation letter sa family ko sa pinas pra cla magprocess sa NBI tapos ipa-mail ko daw dto sakin ung result. confused tuloy ako.

kymme · October 2017

@yssabanana ICHC is different from NBI. yung ichc online process yan lahat and cla na mg back ground check s lahat countries napuntahan mo. altough u still need NBi for PR. but if PR kana, no need na.

romamon · October 2017

hello everyone! a newbie here, ask ko lang if possible ba na mag-ask na ako ng mga requirements from school/work/ etc while waiting for my OET result?sorry hindi ko talaga alam mag-start after ko makuha result oet exam (which is sana eh nakapasa)

Cassey · October 2017

@romamon Oo naman, pwede na. You can check the first page of this link as a guide for the requirements http://pinoyau.info/discussion/8762/nurses-what-you-need-to-know#latest

frappz · October 2017

@kangarookoala hi po tanong ko lang po kung madali po ba bridging course kahit wala ka experience talaga as a nurse? makakagraduate ka ba?

moogz02 · October 2017

Ask lang po, regarding serology.. Before po mag brdiging kailangan po ba kumpleto na vaccines ko especially yung hepa b? Hanggang booster po ba ang kailangan?

Cassey · October 2017

@moogz02 Yes, you need to have your vaccines completed, some prefer to do it in the Phils because it’s cheaper. You can do serology test to know whether you need booster shots.

@simplyg if you have 750k-1mil at hand.. pwedeng wag ka ng mag philman... pero kung wala kang ganung pera at hand, its hard to migrate to australia or even start BP na wala kang financial resources... MALAKING halaga tlaga ang gagastusin mo pero mababawi mo din un.
May friend akong client ni philman, it took him 1 year to pay his loan... tipid sa unang taon, ganun naman talaga. pero now, Australian Cit na siya.. visited 7 continents. with stable job sa Au... nasa tao yan.. wala sa consultancy...

I have nothing against nurses going middle east, kaso ang problem dun.. walang migration path or citenzenship.... after 5-10 years of working there.. babalik at babalik sila ng pilipinas or mag crocross country din sila.

KevinDavidson · October 2017

@simplyg and regarding sa work sa australia.. kung di ka mapili sa work... madaming work dun for nurses... as per my friend.. siempre magstart ka sa mababa or basic na sahod.. 150-160k... or depende sa years of exp mo... icocompute namn nila un...
