   I hope you read what 'wingcharm' wrote. He is in a conversion program. That is a 12 or 18 month course. All that time he would have IMMERSED himself here in Australia. Note that he used 'WE' and not 'I' when he said they did not get the band 7 scor...

   @wingcharm How about trying for another student visa? This Filipino girl applied for another student visa and is currently studying English and working part time as a Carer. Thank you for the input. I hope readers of this thread will take that on bo...

   I refer you to this thread by British citizens who failed their IELTS and OET, http://www.pomsinadelaide.com/forum/jobs-careers/22030-uk-nurses-ielts-please-read.html 'kenco' failed the OET and 'mummuytummy' failed the IELTS. These are some examples...

   Don't know where BigGuest2012 got the idea that if you were going to live here in Australia that you can pass your IELTS. That mentality didn't work with one Filipino nurse I know. She now works part time as a Carer, enrolled herself in an English cl...

   You need to invest a bit of time by reading posts here preferably from Sept 2011 onwards as changes have happened prior to that date. Start by going to the AHPRA website and print the application form. It should tell you what requirements you will ne...

   bobby123 replied to ShalomRN's topic in Australia

   I'm not really familiar with either NP or PN. It just seemed like what you described earlier matches that job offer. There are different pay rates for public and private sectors. A Nurse Practitioner in the public sector will expect a gross annual sa...

   First, check if your qualification is under the shortage occupation list.

   That doesn't add up. To be an RN in Australia, you need to be registered with AHPRA. AHPRA reviews your application. You then either get registered or have to do a Bridging Program then get registered. You should probably post more details re UniSA's...

    You are already an immigrant. Take the long route, 're-study'. You said you have zero experience as an RN, even if you pass your IELTS you might find it difficult to get a BP provider as most ask for 3 months experience as per posts here. Working as ...

    Can't see how you can get registration as a nurse if not thru AHPRA

    The Aged Care Course = Carer Bridging Program = Registered Nurse. It's not just 'less likely to get a PR' - you definitely won't get a PR with the Carer's route.

    Why would you need a Philippine bank in Australia? We use remittance agencies to send money to the Philippines. Open a BDO acct for OFWs in any of their branch there in the Philippines before you go.I recommend opening a bank account in Australia as ...

    You don't need your passport labelled as per DIAC BUT that's Australian rules. Whether Philippine Immigration have the same access re immigration/visa status is a risk I am not happy to take. It's easy to have your passport labelled, just visit one o...

    Sorry, I just realised that the rules might have changed. I'll get back to this question in mid July. I'll be in Manila then. Back in 2010 whilst on a 457 visa, we were only told to pay for travel tax and terminal fee. It wasn't our first time to lea...
