Meeting AHPRA requirements as a International Trained Nurse from the Philippines

World Registration

Hi Danceinstructor,

Could you please suggest me which instituition is better to take BP? When are the next intakes?

How will be the procedure?

Thanks in advance

Hello..

go to NMBA website then click ACCREDITATION then Click approved programs of study. from there, you can browse all schools that offer BP/IRON program.

just a piece of advice, choose a school that has not expired yet or will not expire before your BP finishes, just to be safe.. ;)

Hi danceinstructor,

I applied here in Singapore.. I wish I could seek help in DIAC Philippines. I am still waiting for the response here in Sg. It's unreasonable to give Multiple visa within 2 months. :(

Call DIAC SG to verify but as what I understood, your FIRST entry should not be later than 12 Jan 2013. After making your first entry your multiple entry valid for 1 year will apply as long as you have a valid reason to go back to Australia after your first exit.

All the accredited BP providers can be seen in the AHPRA website. You can then browse the website of every school and ask for their next intake. Should you have further queries please contact the school/ BP provider.

Good luck!

Hi.. danceinstructor,

Can't send you pm. :( I might need your words on my case. Thanks.

To beauex, treid to sent you pm but your inbox is full. In any case this is my message, please pm reply here or pm me. -Hi beaux, this may sound weird as I have already applied at Unisa but I was just wondering why you chose this program on top of a lot easier not no mention less expensive bridging programs. Also I scanned the program course and it entails exams and presentations, it has longer duration too. What is the advantage of this program over other bridging courses like in la trobe, etea, inha, if any? Do you know someone who has undergone and passed arntp and is now working in austalia? Im sorry for the lengthy message, I'm just soliciting some views on whether this program is worth the money and time. Also i want to know if you gain a certain advantage after finishing it? really appreciate your input. Tia.

My visa doesn't say any VALID for 1 year. And when I emailed the officer, he told me that his letter is "to confirm that you are not allowed to travel AFTER 12 Jan 2013" - that means my MULTIPLE VISA is only from this day until 12 Jan 2013 (less than a month from now). Although, my visa states that my length of stay is: 3 months (enough to finish the course if I enter 3rd of Jan), the point of having been given the MULTIPLE is my main concern. My visa is quite weird compared to all. :(

I was able to talk to one of the customer representative giving all the real reason of my appeal to them, to allow me have the privilege of using the MULTIPLE entry. For the 3-month long course, something might happen, and I might be needing to go back for a short while, that means - I will need to apply a new visa to enter Au. I even asked them to check if they can have it extended even just enough time for me to finish the course, so I won't be needing to worry about the possibility of visa problem within that time. They say, they will have to talk to the case officer, who happened to be not replying anything to me.

no i dont think we are required to take their accomodation. i was offered the june 2013 intake :) how about you?

hi! IHNA also offered me june 13 intake but i'm kinda hesitant to accept the offer because of their accreditation problems. Did you already pay the enrollment fee 1500? I'm also still waiting for reply from ETEA or AAon.

This was based on all of your answers on the form

i went to my GP and asked to certify that i received mine when i was still a baby. then on top of that, i had a PPD skin test (which turned out positive) but provided a clear CXR result :)

Cummulus, i am not done with bp yet. So ur experience in ph in icu? How long did you wait for the offer? After the course you had to exit?

Apply in QLD. They respond faster and they'll release your registration faster compared to other states. I got my registration after 3 days compared to my other batchmates who received theirs after a month or so. If you apply in WA, you need to achieve 80% passing mark as compared to other states which only requires 50%. It is just my 2cents. :D

Hi #anay1, i already submitted my application to AHPRA NSW last thursday because i am currently living here. I really hope they will respond after 4-6 weeks as the receptionist told me so. Good luck to me! :) thanks for the info anyway. :) are you now working as an RN in QLD? happy for you! :)

hi mindful1, thanks for the info. i already submitted my application to AHPRA NSW. i included my NCLEX examination info & Texas license. i hope it'll help. the receptionist told me that it'll take 4-6 weeks processing. Good luck on your application! :)

I have two friends who thought they were exempt if they had a license in the USA.

They were told by AHPRA in Victoria, after a few giggles - I was told and told very strongly that Australia is not part of the United States and that the only thing the NCLEX can do for you or any other nursing exam is prove that you have done some CPD, nothing else, it will not get you out of bridging program unless you have worked in english speaking country - as a nurse for at least 3 months.

..and now with this trouble with some bridging programs having accreditations, makes it hard for us pinoys.
