Cassey · March 2018

@greenapple Payslip is one of the evidences that you can provide for the recency of practice according to AHPRA website.

greenapple · March 2018

@cucci @Cassey thankyou po sa inputs. Ms. @Cassey you mean needed din po ung payslip when applying for ahpra? hindi na kasi ako nkpgenclose nun though i do have payslips din with me. Employment cert lang po ung inenclose ko for my aphra assessment with dates nman po and nakaindicate na its full time w/ hours. with that wla pa nmn po ako narereceive from aphra na may lacking docs ako.. waiting pa din po..Please advise thankyou

Cassey · March 2018

@greenapple Isa lang siya sa mga evidences na pwede mong isubmit but definitely not mandatory.

@Cassey ano po ang mga kukunin sa school na documents? At anong letter ang kailangan for aphra from school. Sa ched po ano reqts dun at anong letter din ang need?

Cassey · March 2018

@cheng1003 Kindly please refer to the first page of this thread for the requirements. Walang requirements na kailangan manggaling from CHED and wala ring letter na kailangan from school.

cheng1003 · March 2018

@Cassey yun din po ang nabasa q na walang kukunin pero ang friend ko po pinakuha xa ng letter from school.

@cheng1003 I think you were referring to this:

Accreditation evidence
Qualification criteria 2 and 3 require that your education institution and program of study were accredited during the period of time that you studied. For more information on criteria 2 and 3, please see Accreditation requirements of the qualification assessment model.

Criterion 2: Evidence that your education institution was externally accredited during the period when you undertook your studies. Please provide the template below to the education institution for completion and submission directly to AHPRA.

@cheng1003 This has been addressed for many times in the forum. Nurses from the Philippines don’t meet Criteria 2 and 3 as you can see on the list below so there’s no need to submit those requirements. That’s why Nurses who studied in Ph need to study in the first place in order to meet these 2 criteria.

Taken from AHPRA Website:
Canada (nursing)
Hong Kong (nursing)
Republic of Ireland (nursing and midwifery)
United Kingdom (nursing and midwifery)
United States of America (nursing and midwifery)
Applicants who hold a nursing or midwifery qualification issued by an education institution in any of the countries listed above should still arrange for the relevant supporting documentation to be sent directly to AHPRA from the education institution (for criterion 2) and the authority or agency responsible for the accreditation or recognition of your program of study (for criterion 3).

These countries may qualify as well:.
Belgium - Flanders region (nursing and midwifery)
Chile (nursing)
Hong Kong (midwifery)
Pakistan (nursing and midwifery)
Papua New Guinea (nursing)
Singapore (nursing and midwifery)

A friend told me that usually those who are from agencies are asked to comply with these requirements and not ahpra. Yung inaapply sa AHPRA is for registration as a Nurse here in Au but since hindi mameet yung Criteria 2 and 3 kaya nirerefer yung applicants to do Bridging Program. Hope this clarifies.

hello po, ask ko lang po sana kung kailangan ko bang kumuha nito:

The education institution that provided the program of study, and confirmed your qualification, has certified that you have successfully completed an assessment in medication management including:

administration of medications (including calculations),
pharmacokinetics (the study of the bodily absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs) and
pharmacodynamics (the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and the mechanisms of their action in the body).
As part of the certification, the education institution must provide information that clearly shows the medication management content you completed as part of the program of study.

or ung basic na RLE lang po will do?

Cassey · March 2018

@jjlara There’s no need to submit because Ph doesn’t meet the Au standards. Ang namemeet lang na criteria ng Ph Nurses ay yung 1, 4, 5 and 7.

jjlara · March 2018

thank you @Cassey ! what a relief kasi hindi kame magkaintindihan nung university ko...

Cassey · March 2018

@jjlara No worries,

jjlara · March 2018

hi po ulit...regarding lang po sana sa format ng cv ng aphra.. dun sa clinical/procedural skills? usually anu po kya ang nilalagay dun?

girmarie · March 2018

@cucci thank you po. sana ok na po kahit contract nlng. san banda na po kau sa application nyu?

girmarie · March 2018

@Cassey maam cassey. ung templates po ba ng requiremnts ba nasa website ng APHRA? I cant find it kasi maam. pls thank you

Cassey · March 2018

@girmarie Hi, yes yung templates nasa website ng AHPRA. Have you checked the first page of this thread? Nakalagay dun yung link.

Cassey · March 2018

@dmmag Please read the first page of this thread for the requirements. With the proof of identity, it’s best to photocopy it in coloured.

kzander22 · March 2018

hi po. ask ko lang po how to send COGS to aphra? how much po magagastos.

bizzy · March 2018

Hi, ask po ako, yung ngsend kau certificate from CHED? Sinama nyu yung CAV or no need na. Tia

Cassey · March 2018

@kzander22 Request your COGS to PRC and ask them to send it to AHPRA or what others do is they buy PRC envelope and send it themselves to AHPRA.

Cassey · March 2018

@bizzy Hi, walang kailangan na isubmit from CHED.

bizzy · March 2018

@Cassey salamat sa response. Nkarequest na kc ako. Yun nga lng d ako sure if lahat isend pati CAV. Ung kilala ko Hndi na xa nagsend ng certification from CHED kc galing xa University, like excempted school nila from CHED. Ako kc hndi university ang school ko.

Cassey · March 2018

@bizzy
No worries, as far as I know it wouldn’t matter kung sa Uni ka naggraduate or not. Ang mga magsesend lang ng docs na kagaya ng kinukuha sa CHED ay yung mga graduates of the following countries:
Canada (nursing)
Hong Kong (nursing)
Republic of Ireland (nursing and midwifery)
United Kingdom (nursing and midwifery)
United States of America (nursing and midwifery)
Belgium - Flanders region (nursing and midwifery)
Chile (nursing)
Hong Kong (midwifery)
Pakistan (nursing and midwifery)
Papua New Guinea (nursing)
Singapore (nursing and midwifery)

Yung mga graduates from the countries above, may qualify for direct registration without studying in Au kaya sila required which isn’t the case for Philippines kaya nagbibridging yung mga Nurses from Ph.

bizzy · March 2018

@Cassey aah ok, na enlighten mo ko, salamat sa info.

ace1990 · March 2018

Good day! I am an NZRN who had worked for 6 months only before returning home in the Philippines. I have been in New Zealand for almost 4 years. I worked as an HCA for 3 years before becoming an NZRN. I am interested to work again overseas in Australia. Can someone please enlighten me on the possibility of me being able to work and live in Australia together with my wife? I am 28 years old and my wife is 27 turning 28 this year. My wife is also an RN who recently came home from the Middle East working as a Dental Nurse for 2 years.

Cassey · March 2018

@ace1990 Hi, if you are an NZ RN, i think you can register directly with AHPRA without studying in Au through the Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Act. If you are a PR holder of NZ, you need to apply for a Visa to live and work here in Au but if you are a NZ citizen then that’s another story.

ace1990 · March 2018

@Cassey Hi! I am neither a PR nor a citizen of NZ. What are my options for migrating in Australia?

Cassey · March 2018

@ace1990 Ahh, you can apply for 189 Visa if you want to become a PR here in Australia or you can try to look for an employer who will sponsor you and apply for the 457 Visa (TSS) which is a temporary visa but will have a pathway to PR if the rules don’t change. You can also look into State Sponsorship or 190 but you’ll have to check if you’ll meet the requirements for each of the individual states.
