  Could you please shed some light regarding this? A friend of mine made an enquiry to IHNA and this was their response.

  Hi @dy3p question lang po regarding reference letter for anmac assesment. I currently have 2 years experience as icu nurse in ph. Pero may 1 year experience ako as rn heals sa orthopedic last 2013. Do I have to get reference letter sa exp ko nung 2013 pa? Or yung present job ko lng ngayon as icu nurse which is 2 years?
  Nung RNheals ako sa ortho ibat ibang dept ako assigned. ER, OR, OPD, ward so confused ako ano anzsco code ang pwede gamitin. Thank you in advance..

  ask lang, humingi kase ng additional document yung case officer ko from Melbourne AHPRA kaso I sent the docu sa perth kase PO box lang yung address ng case officer ko na meron ako eh hindi tumatanggap ng PO box sa courier ditto sa pinas. may nabasa kase ako sa isang forum na centralize naman yung system nila kaya kahit san mo ipadala eh makikita ng case officer na naka assign sayo... tama po ba info nakuha ko? Thanks sa sasagot.

  @xter28 tama po kayo... kahit saang AHPRA office pwede ipadala ang docs. In fact, based on experience mas mabilis magprocess ang Perth... siguro mas konti ang applicants sa kanila.

  Hello! I took the PTE exam twice. At first take I got below 65 scores in writing and in my second take I got above 65. On the other hand, I got low score in Listening, not able to meet the 65pts, but on my first take I got 65pts. As per the immigration, they will accept the english exam for 2 sittings. My first option school is Deakin, but they accept one sitting english exam. Is there any option schools, where they accept the 2 english exam sittings? Thank you.
