Dear Ms @Cassey / Fellow forumers,
Ask ko po sana kung yung CHED at PRC COGS na-iaddress po sa APHRA Melbourne tapos yung sa school (issued October 2017) naman po naka-address po sa APHRA Perth, and then the rest of docs plan po namin ipadala na din sa APHRA Melbourne (e.g. AGOS40, CV, etc..).

Okay lang po ba yun sa APHRA na magkahiwalay yung pagpapadalhan ng documents?
Thanks po sa inputs

Kiko

@KIKO Hi, yung sa application kasi ng hubby ko, walang nanggaling sa CHED or sa school na isesend directly sa AHPRA. Yung COGS lang which is from PRC ang sinend sa AHPRA and ANMAC na nakahiwalay.

It’s best to send it into one address para di mawala mga papers mo and di magkaroon ng delays sa application mo.

KIKO · January 2018

Ms @Cassey - maraming salamat po sa advise. Si mrs po magpractice ng nursing. For bridging program po ba need din na-isend to ANMAC?
Currently all of us na po in our family are in Visa189 na po.

Noted po, we will just send in 1 address po

Thank you so much

Cassey · January 2018

@KIKO Ahhh, so you’ve been granted 189? That’s good! If PR na kayo, then she doesn’t have to do ANMAC.

KIKO · January 2018

Hi Ms @Cassey thanks po ulit for answering all our inquiries.
My wife's last Full Time work experience with COEs were from Feb 2010 - March 2014. After po March 2014 to present she had family commitments till now (Full Time mommy). Her experiences were more on Ophthalmic Clinical Nurse field previously in Phils.

She graduated March 2007, passed PRC Nursing Board Dec 2007. However, we were not able to furnish COEs from her employment Jan 2008 --> Jan 2010 (saklap), so hindi na po namin isinama sa CV.

May chance pa din po ba for Bridging program (IRON) for her?

Maraming Salamat po in advance for kind inputs!

Cassey · January 2018

@KIKO Hi, yes she can still do BP. Ang requirement naman is at least 3months of work 5years prior to lodging of application.

KIKO · January 2018

@Cassey wow.. nakaka-good vibes naman po, sana po maging smooth yung application ni wifey.. sayang naman din po yung potential nya.

Maraming marami salamat po

Update namin kayo sa progress, na-submit napo namin lahat ng docs na required in AGOS40.

God Bless Ms Cassey.

Cassey · January 2018

@KIKO You’re welcome, all the best! Oo, go for it andiyan na yung chance so grab it.

@paanfsurn Hi Please read the first page of this thread for the requirements, format and guidelines. Yes, pwede mo ng iuna yung application mo then to follow na lang yung COGS mo. It usually takes two weeks para masend dito sa Au yung COGS. You can go from there. Yung reference letter sa ANMAC siya kailangan and yes may format siya.

Hi po ulit maam @Cassey.. ung mga to follow po na mga docu like cogs, e.lalagay po ba ung sa agos40 na to follow po or no need na po? Salamat po

Cassey · January 2018

@ykcul_kcul Hi, ikocross out lang yun sa may checklist para malaman nila na it has been arranged.

ykcul_kcul · January 2018

@Cassey ah ok po maam.. salamat

paanfsurn · January 2018

@Cassey so basically di pa talaga kelangan ung reference letter if for application sa aphra palang? Pag mag apply na ng pr ung ref letter?
Yung aphra ba mag rerequest ng COGS ko or isend ko nalang basta sakanila?

paanfsurn · January 2018

@Cassey Ilang mos po yung kelangan na payslip?and kelangan din po ba isend mga certificatea ng trainings done in the philippines?

Cassey · January 2018

@paanfsurn Yung reference letter is for ANMAC skills assessment that is prior to PR application. Ikaw ang magrerequest ng COGS sa PRC tapos sabihin mo sa PRC na ipadala nila sa AHPRA that is when you are ready to lodge your application with AHPRA. With payslips, walang specific na number, just choose randomly basta maprove mo na you were employed during those times. Hindi kailangan yung mga training Certs from Philippines kasi walang weight yun dito sa Australia.

ykcul_kcul · January 2018

Good pm po ulit maam @Cassey follow up question lng po maam about ichc po, if nagstay ka po ng more than 6 months sa australia kailangan po ba kumuha ng afp check? Sencya maraming tanong po.. salamat po...

Cassey · January 2018

@ykcul_kcul Kung tama yung pagkakaalala ko kumuha yung hubby ko ng AFP Check niya prior to registration sa AHPRA. 6 consecutive months ba?

ykcul_kcul · January 2018

Opo maam @Cassey... required po ba un sa abpra req't?

Cassey · January 2018

@ykcul_kcul Yes, sa pagkakaalala ko. Hinanapan siya nun.

ykcul_kcul · January 2018

@Cassey ah ok po maam... e.CTC ko pa po ba un maam?

Cassey · January 2018

@Eegie With the 1yr conversion course, isa sa mga requirements ng schools is having a work experience. Usually, kapag walang work experience, 2 yrs yung pinapakuha ng school. If you can’t provide COGS and you are not registered, it’s better to not declare it kasi baka dun pa magkaroon ng problem sa application mo.

Cassey · January 2018

@ykcul_kcul Hi, my option daw sa website na ipapadiretso na lang sa AHPRA yung AFP police check.

ykcul_kcul · January 2018

@Cassey ok po maam.. check ko po.. salamat po...

@yassy2012 Hi, kindly read and check the first page of this thread for the requirements including the tests required. Basically, you have to pass the English test then send your application to AHPRA. Secure COGS from PRC which they will have to send to AHPRA directly. Secure a fit2work check for all the countries you’ve stayed in for 6 consecutive months or more, write the reference number on the AGOS form 40. Wait for the LOE from AHPRA, without it you can’t enrol to a Bridging Program. Once you’ve received the LOE, you can then apply to the school of your choice. The Uni will send an offer letter, then you’ll have to pay the tuition fee and accept the offer letter. Once the payment is made, the school will send a COE to you. Then you can start the student visa process.

There are agencies offering free services like IDP and AECC, you just have to book an appointment with them. All the best!

THanks po

Cassey · January 2018

@yassy2012 Marami ang nagDIY dito sa forum. If there’s no complication with your application kayang kaya mong gawin yan. For now, I suggest you to focus on getting the needed English test score because it all starts with that. If you have any questions, marami ang pwedeng tumulong sayo rito sa forum. Don’t hesitate to ask. God bless.
