Guys ask ko lang, accepted ba sa AHPRA ang RHU tsaka birthing center na experience? kasi yung hospital cert ko lumagpas na ng 5years..
Hi! I'd like to know po if paano magclaim ng points ang spouse. Plan nalang po kasi namin ay mag apply ng 189 visa for PR. Si hubby ang principal applicant since Accountant sya. Sa qualification naman ng spouse, ok po ako sa age and meron na rin pong ielts.Pero paano po sa skills since RN po ako sa pinas. Need ko din po ba ng skills assessment? If so, anong assessing body po? And, ok lang ba kahit walang experience? Para po ito sana sa additional 5 points from spouse. Salamat po sa makakasagot!

@nursesam Yes, kailangan mo ng skills assessment. Hindi kayo makakapagclaim ng Partner qualification points kung wala kang skills assessment. Kailangan mong magaral rito at maging RN sa Au para makakuha ka ng positive skills assessment from ANMAC at makakuha ng 5points for partner qualification.

@ishtar , @KevinDavidson- Sir/mam.. nurse po kau? agos din po yun fill up nyo n form? may i know s page 2 regarding valid ids.. kung anu un tick ninyo and what are the ids dis u send?
Hi @Cassey mg ask po sana ako paano po ang process kung PR na sa AU tpos dun na mgpa assess pra mkapag bridging. Anu po mga requirements same din ba kung nsa pinas ka? TIA
@Cassey hi maam ive been following your posts and very been informative regarding the process for ahpra. I have a lot of questions in mind regarding the step by step process and im seeking your help for clarification. Please bare with me. As i understand first thing to do is register on their website
1.Do you need to have all requirements ready when you register?
2. Do we have to pay a fee when we register if so how much?
3. Do we have to fill up other forms other than the agos 40?
4. What do you call the document coming from the prc?
5.do you need to take your english exam first before you register in ahpra?
6. If my school will be sending it's documents to ahpra does ahpra has one mailing address only?
7. Is it necessary to include pharmacy in my course description? As said by our registrar at school, also course description necessary from 1st year to 4th year? Because it costs 6k pesos
8. I only have 6months experience in the hospital and i read i only need 3months of experience? Is this true?
I am currently working here in the uae as an emergency medical technician do i need my coe here as an emt to submit to ahpra? Or my coe as a nurse will do?
9. Do i have to submit also my training certificates like acls bls iv training and be notarized as well?
10. Ive read also that you also need a proof that you have been vaccinated is this for ahpra as well, if so what vaccines do i need to have?
11. How about medical screening do i need clearance from the doctor that im fit to work? Is this also for ahpra?
12.after submitting all requirements needed for the process what's next? If passed the assessment and gave me an approval for BP I'll find a school for that right? What's next after that? I'll apply for visa? Student or tourist?
Im really sorry for bombarding you a lot of questions im still confused on the process it self thank you for answering in advance

@Fireonice Before you can register as a Nurse, you have to study here in Au 1. Yes, you need to have all the requirements otherwise you can’t register here. 2. For the fees you can check it on this link http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-and-Endorsement/Fees.aspx 3. It’s just AGOS 40 4. Cert of Good Standing 5. Yes, you need to have an English Test 6. Can’t remember any docs from school that needs to be sent directly to AHPRA; just make sure to mail it in one AHPRA address. 7. Course Description is your syllabus 8. 3mos in the last 5yrs prior to your application is needed if you want to study bridging course, Take note that you have to provide proofs for your employment. No need to submit your emt COE, just the Nursing experience. For the PR application, it’s a different story. 9. No need to provide those training certs as it doesn’t have a weight here in Au 10. With vaccines, look it up in the Uni websites offering the course. 11. Medical exams may be required by the employer and not AHPRA 12. Yes look for school and you can either apply as student or tourist

@Cassey by studying meaning the bridging program right?
Thank you so much for the very quick response entertaining my questions! I'll gather all required documents i needed
Another question in mind since im working here in the uae do i need to get a police clearance too?
When is the right time to request the certificate of good standing from prc? Since you told me i have to get all requirements before i can register, or is it processed all at the same time?
CasseyMelbourne, Australia Posts: 2,812Member, Moderator Joined: Sep 07, 2015
@Fireonice Yes, thru bridging. Requirements are on the first page of this thread. You may wanna check the format for the reference letter as well as the format for CV. You won’t need police clearance just yet. You’ll need that on your PR application.
It would really depend.... COGS from PRC usually takes 2weeks, so just go from there. Don’t forget that you need to take an English test as well.

@Fireonice Sorry to interrupt sa discussion nyo po. Pero RN din po ba kayo sa UAE? If yes, kakailanganin nyo din po ng HAAD or DHA (Dubai) COGS na maforward nila sa AHPRA just like PRC sa atin. Yung medical mo, including vaccines, gagamitin mo nalang yun hindi sa AHPRA but when you are to take the bridging program na.

@Cassey opo, sa UAE din ako galing. Reference letter para sa Anmac po ba? As sila kasi yung may format eh.. kung sa anmac may kakilala ako and hindi tinanggap ng anmac. Kinaelangan nyang magdraft ng sarili nya at ipasign nalang. Mejo slow kasi sila dun and tamad pag special request ng ganyan.

@Cassey ahh ganun po ba via post po pala i thought scannned and uploaded sa site nila, thank you for that po and everything po pala @dy3p actually in not a RN in the uae, im an emergency medical technician here though we have a haad license but @Cassey i think that wouldn't be necessary you think since it's not relevant to nursing?

@ishtar - Thank you. @Cassey - kailangan po ba tlga may 3rd party? Can i send the requirements directly to ahpra? someone told me kase n dpat personal isesend yun mga requirements thru 3rd party nga. Thank you in advance.
"Provides nursing care to critically ill patients and patients with unstable health following injury, surgery or during the acute phase of diseases, integrating new technological equipment into care in settings such as high dependency units, intensive care units, emergency departments or retrieval services. Registration or licensing is required."
The thing with UAE is licensing for both RN's and EMT's are different. I will get back to you on this. I'll give AHPRA a buzz later on today.
Well, even if its not, the fact that you are registered with HAAD is something that is a part of your registration history. Under Section F #12 Question of the AGOS 40, the NMBA requires you a certificate of good standing or certificate of registration status from every jursidiction outside Australia in which you are currently, or have previously been, registered as a health practitioner during the past 5 years.
Just my 2 cents po and to be on the safer side of things. Peace

@dy3p haven't heard of this one yet i thought my license here is not that much of a relevance in the process for ahpra, do you have ideas regarding on how to request that from haad? Will they do the same that haad should be the one who'll be sending those documents to ahpra?

@Fireonice With regards to your experience, you may or may not declare it. Some choose not to declare their Middle East experience because there are a lot of complications like securing their COGS, getting their reference letters, etc.
As far as I know, you will only need to declare it if you are a Practising Nurse in UAE, your JOB title is as a Nurse and if your HAAD license is that of a Nurse as well. If you think that your job description as EMT is similar to what Nurses do then you can try to have it assessed by AHPRA.

1.Do you need to have all requirements ready when you register?
2. Do we have to pay a fee when we register if so how much?
3. Do we have to fill up other forms other than the agos 40?
4. What do you call the document coming from the prc?
5.do you need to take your english exam first before you register in ahpra?
6. If my school will be sending it's documents to ahpra does ahpra has one mailing address only?
7. Is it necessary to include pharmacy in my course description? As said by our registrar at school, also course description necessary from 1st year to 4th year? Because it costs 6k pesos
8. I only have 6months experience in the hospital and i read i only need 3months of experience? Is this true?
I am currently working here in the uae as an emergency medical technician do i need my coe here as an emt to submit to ahpra? Or my coe as a nurse will do?
9. Do i have to submit also my training certificates like acls bls iv training and be notarized as well?
10. Ive read also that you also need a proof that you have been vaccinated is this for ahpra as well, if so what vaccines do i need to have?
11. How about medical screening do i need clearance from the doctor that im fit to work? Is this also for ahpra?
12.after submitting all requirements needed for the process what's next? If passed the assessment and gave me an approval for BP I'll find a school for that right? What's next after that? I'll apply for visa? Student or tourist?
Im really sorry for bombarding you a lot of questions im still confused on the process it self thank you for answering in advance

Before you can register as a Nurse, you have to study here in Au
1. Yes, you need to have all the requirements otherwise you can’t register here.
2. For the fees you can check it on this link http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-and-Endorsement/Fees.aspx
3. It’s just AGOS 40
4. Cert of Good Standing
5. Yes, you need to have an English Test
6. Can’t remember any docs from school that needs to be sent directly to AHPRA; just make sure to mail it in one AHPRA address.
7. Course Description is your syllabus
8. 3mos in the last 5yrs prior to your application is needed if you want to study bridging course, Take note that you have to provide proofs for your employment. No need to submit your emt COE, just the Nursing experience. For the PR application, it’s a different story.
9. No need to provide those training certs as it doesn’t have a weight here in Au
10. With vaccines, look it up in the Uni websites offering the course.
11. Medical exams may be required by the employer and not AHPRA
12. Yes look for school and you can either apply as student or tourist

Thank you so much for the very quick response entertaining my questions! I'll gather all required documents i needed
Another question in mind since im working here in the uae do i need to get a police clearance too?
When is the right time to request the certificate of good standing from prc? Since you told me i have to get all requirements before i can register, or is it processed all at the same time?

It would really depend.... COGS from PRC usually takes 2weeks, so just go from there. Don’t forget that you need to take an English test as well.

"Provides nursing care to critically ill patients and patients with unstable health following injury, surgery or during the acute phase of diseases, integrating new technological equipment into care in settings such as high dependency units, intensive care units, emergency departments or retrieval services. Registration or licensing is required."
The thing with UAE is licensing for both RN's and EMT's are different. I will get back to you on this. I'll give AHPRA a buzz later on today.
Well, even if its not, the fact that you are registered with HAAD is something that is a part of your registration history. Under Section F #12 Question of the AGOS 40, the NMBA requires you a certificate of good standing or certificate of registration status from every jursidiction outside Australia in which you are currently, or have previously been, registered as a health practitioner during the past 5 years.
Just my 2 cents po and to be on the safer side of things. Peace

As far as I know, you will only need to declare it if you are a Practising Nurse in UAE, your JOB title is as a Nurse and if your HAAD license is that of a Nurse as well. If you think that your job description as EMT is similar to what Nurses do then you can try to have it assessed by AHPRA.
