Hello po! Manghihingi po sana ng opinion. Currently nasa Pinas po ako waiting ako sa osce kaso wala pang updates regarding tourist visa.Tinanong ko din ang ahpra kung pwede nila ako irefer back sa bridging program, pero sa July 2022 pa daw ang re-evaluation nila.

Nag plaplano akong mag SV. Ano po ang pinaka practical na kunin na course na pwede para sa akin? Hindi po kasi ako familiar eh. Considering ang duration, pathway to PR, scholarship, etc. Kung maaari sana sa CQU QL-rockhampton.

Salamat po!

LaineRN · January 2022

Hi po. Asking po sana ng any idea and advise for nurse pathway sa Cairns Australia. I'm a company nurse dito po sa PH. Graduate po ako 2010 pa. Pwed pa din po ba mag apply for conversion or need na po ba mag bachelor? May nakita po ko CQU QL - Rockhampton pero 3 years for Bachelor. Also sa IELTS po 7 band score po ba talaga pag mag aaral sa school? My sister po ako sa Cairns na pwed po ako tulungan sa pag aaral. yung CQU rockhampton po ang malapit na school na possible ko po applayan for schooling. Thank you in advance po. God Bless

Hello. Same situation here. My niece is currently on her second year in nursing in the PH. I want to know kung mas maigi na mag-take ng more units sa Pilipinas (scholar kasi) o ituloy na dito ang Studies.

Rockhampton is pretty far from Cairns (12-hour drive). I know there's James Cook University right in Cairns, and I think there's a bachelor degree in nursing there so just check out their website.

The minimum English proficiency requirement may vary depending on the course/program, so you'll have to look at the eligibility requirement for the specific course you're after. If they require IELTS 7 overall, across all categories, then you'll need to meet that. If the uni allows you to prove your proficiency through TOEFL or PTE, maybe try one of those. Universities set those requirements and those are usually non-negotiable, as there will be lots of reading and assessments.

Hello po,
Ask po sana ako ng help, DIY application po ako for BS Nursing. Paano po ba mag cocompose ng
GTE if I intend to avail Nursing conversion program to practice my profession in Australia after completing the course?
nalilito po kasi ako,sabi kasi sa immigration site
:"GTE is not intended to exclude students who, after studying in Australia, develop skills Australia needs and who then go on to apply for permanent residence.".
Your answers will be a big help po.thankyou ☺️

Do the CONVERSION COURSE.
This may take a year or 2 depending on the uni you'll be enrolling in.

You'll need an English Test, whatever pathway you choose. If it's a voluntary work, you have to provide an evidence and AHPRA will have to assess your experience.

Ano po process ng conversion course?

San po kayo nag take ng English Test?

palzergozon · January 2023

Hello I am new here. I am looking for an agent partnered with school/s that offers Masters in Nursing that will lead to AU RN AHPRA registration.

classixx · January 2023

@Cassey said:
For AHPRA you'll need:

Important accreditation requirement for internationally qualified nurses and midwives (will be done by your Uni in Au)

Is this something that will be done by Uni in Au 'after' the bridging program?

Crixivan · February 2023

Hi!
Ask ko lang po kung sino po dito ang nag NCLEX score transfer from AU to NMI?
Thank you!

hello all,

need advice.. my sister wants to come here in Austraia as SV enrolling in certificate of aged care since my recent news na my pathway na ang age care dito sa aus. 0 experience po xa sa Pinas. BPO/customer service ang experience niya. high kaya ang chances na ma grant ang SV niya despite 0 experience xa or meron ba member dito na recently granted the same with 0 experience din? sa age care?

Nursing graduate po xa sa Pinas 2008 but 0 experience siya sa nursing. mas ok kaya na Aged Care ang course itake niya dito or mag Bachelor of Nursing nlang? Licensed nurse din xa sa Pinas, active pa ang License niya kasi madali namn don mag renew ng PRC kahit walang experience

my nag comment sa Filipino Student Visa na fb group na pwede daw xa mag register sa AHPra if active pa ang nurse license niya sa Pinas since di na daw required ang experience don sa AHpra. anu po yun Ahpra?
possible din po ba ito?
anu po next after ng Ahpra?

parehas lang kasi ang lahat ng mga reply ng mga migration agent, gusto lang sana namin if mag SV xa yun medyo sure na course or high chances na ma grant..

disclaimer:
she applied for SV 500 last March 2020 , AGe Care and she was refused a visa so medyo doubtful kami if pwede ba xa mag apply ulit. ang reason ng refusal is wala daw xa experience sa AGe care... meron din ibang agents nag suggest na mas high chances daw if higher education ang itake niya like Nursing..

need advice and insights po 🙏🏻🙏🏻
TIA

JB26 · November 2023

Hello kabayan! Naglodge ako ng EOI189 at 190 RN QLD last May, then not knowing na dapat gagawa ng EOI for 190 nung September as per migration.qld.gov.au. Need ko bang i-withdraw yung old EOI ko? Baka kasi ma withdraw ko din yung 189 ko eh. Salamat po sa sasagot!

Sa mga ang dependent ay Nurse ang occupation, once ma grantan ng visa ang primary applicant , need pa ba dumaan ng dependent na nurse sa assessment para makahanap ng work sa Australia ? Ano ano pong requirements ang kailangan dalhin ? Salamat po sa mga sasagot.

Kung gustong mag work as nurse, need to be registered with AHPRA.

I'm assuming gusto nya mag-work as a nurse dito sa Au, then she'll need to get her nursing license here first. Before, you will need to do a bridging program (12 weeks) pero pinalitan na nila ngayon. If I remember correctly clinical exam na ata yung one option (OSCA) or you get your license through Uni.

MTfighter · November 2023

example po ako ung primary applicant, PR granted na ako, at the same time PR granted din sya, kailangan nya ba mag pa assessment din at dumaan sa registration ng AHPRA, para makapag work sa Australia ?

A PR visa means you can live and work here permanently. It doesn't automatically grant you registration for regulated professions. So kailangan nya pa rin i-follow yung steps to become an RN here.
