    @hsmall2256 There’s a chance if you have at least 3yrs of hospital work experience and more so if that experience is in a specialized area.

    @phoebejanela Hi. Nakareceive din ako ng email na request for an extension of time sa AHPRA and notice to provide further info last January 3. Nareceive nila yung hiningi sa akin na document ng January 12 tapos ngayon nareceive ko na yung LOE. Baka makareceive ka na din this week or next week. :)

    @clea I took the PTE exam sa PLT at Cliftons Brisbane. I think self study will do, meron naman mga review materials na pwede madownload online tapos meron din sa Youtube.

    Tanong lang po kasi ung misis ko SSN sa mental instituion dito sa Singapore. May nakagawa na po ba dito ng apply sa NZ nurse certification ( assuming no bridging pag galing sa Singapore), then convert to Au license (aphra) thru trans-tasman agreement. Then apply anmac and visa 189. Thanks!

    @anamarie Hi, please check the first page of this thread for the requirements. Yes, kailangang magpaassess ng papers sa AHPRA regardless of the Visa that you’re holding. Kailangan mo nung Letter Of Eligibility bago ka makapagenrol for BP. Yung photocopies ng documents mo, dito mo na lang pacertify sa Justice of the Peace. Be sure to bring your original documents, otherwise, they won’t certify it. May places na free yung pagpapacertify. God bless.

    @anamarie Bago ka pala pumunta dito sa Au, pwede mo ng iparequest yung COGS mo na ipapadala ng PRC directly sa AHPRA para tamang tama sa pagdating mo rito.

    @anamarie most schools would require the student to full pay upfront before they will give you the confirmation of enrolment. security din s knila yun and required yun especially if offshore. and if BP, business visa lang hawak so not allowed to work. but some schools may ePIQ which is 6 months tas bibigyan ng student visa but yun lang, may show money na 1 million cguro.

    @anamarie It would be best to do the bridging as soon as you can kasi walang kasiguraduhan na they’ll keep the Bridging Program as it is now. Mabilis kasing magbago yung procedures/processes dito sa Au. They might introduce exams for internationally qualified nurses in the next few year/s. Kung may mahihiraman kayo na relatives, try niyong manghiram. Mabilis mo lang naman kikitain yun lalo na kapag Nurse ka na para hindi rin sayang yung oras. In 4-6 mos time RN ka na rito. Kapag wala talaga, work na lang muna sa ibang field para makapagipon.

    @ykcul_kcul , depende sa courier services. may iba kasi di nagsesend sa PO box address. Kung Fedex/DHL ka, street address the better kasi at least may pirma ng recepient once delivered at makikita sa tracking.

    Kung Philpost naman PO box, sa tracking malalaman mo lang na sent at delivered.
    Then again, either naman pwede.

    May difference lang sa cost at how fast madeliver.

    Salamat sa response @Invisible_Man . Pakuhanin ko muna ng exam si misis before siya magwork ulet as nurse. 5years ago pa kase yung experience niya. Nag-apply din kase ko subclass 189. Not sure if makadagdag sa points ko if ma-accomplished niya yung requirement sa partner skill.
    Pero balak pa din naman namin na magRN siya sa AU.
    Partner skills

    You can claim partner skills if, when you are invited, your partner:
    is under 50 years of age
    has competent English
    has an occupation that is on the same skilled occupations list as your nominated occupation
    has been assessed by the relevant assessing authority as having suitable skills for their nominated occupation
    is coming to Australia with you
    is not an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
