have you receive your visa?? Actually me and my friend are both for may 29 intake but we dont have visa yet because the immigration still waitng for our medical clearance from Global health. Are you aware if the school required a uniform?? tnx

Have you heard from the embassy yet? Your class starts in 9 days.

I had my visa 2 weeks ago and well, I'm still searching for my place somewhere around Heidelberg.

You had better download the handbook from the website kid, sure looks like you are in a bit of a mess if you don't know anything once you get there.

cheers

i have a similar problem. ahpra emailed me that my application for registration was refused. at the same time i am eligible for bridging program. then they said that i may submit a proposal for refusal of registration.

please help.. i dont understand the proposal. and does it mean that the letter i got is an eligibility letter since they indicated that i am eligible.

That's already your letter of eligibility. You can now look for schools that offer the bridging program..

applying for registration is after you've finished your bridging program. you can now hunt for schools to start your bp. best of luck !! :)

Hi, I'm also opting for ARNTP on Oct 2013, can I ask for your timeline since your online application? Also, did you guys take your IELTS exam within the year? Thanks. :)

hi vitamin_n

i applied through an agent. they said its faster because they can certify the documents for you and just send it through email. otherwise you have to have it certified and sent through courier. anyway i sent it february 2013 got an acknowledgement about a week after. got my offer about six weeks after because they were asking for additional documents. IELTS i took november last year. you have to hurry because i was aiming for the april intake but when i tried to apply last january all slots were already taken

Hello vitamin_n... I took the ielts Nov. 2012.. submitted my docs to IDP on Dec.4, 2012 and they forwarded them to UniSA right away.. I aimed for the April 2013 intake as well just like Ironmom but the processing was delayed due to holidays and the slots for April closed early.

Good luck! :)

Hello ironmom... sure, I'll add you up.. glad to meet future classmates as well! I'm just experiencing problems with fb at the moment but I'll add you up once it is fixed...

Will you have family members to accompany you to Adelaide for the duration of ARNTP?

[vitamin_n]

@rv_phen & @ironmom26 Thanks! You've both been really helpful. Did you submit your NBI clearance as part of your requirements for application? Is it really necessary? Mine expires on June 15 and I'm having second thoughts whether to send it or not.

hi guys! i went to my school yesterday to certify as true copy my course description and other school docs but the in-charge at the registrar told me that they only stamp (certified true copy), sign, and seal each page. But i read in the previous pages that it should be this way:

***Be initialled on every page by the Authorised Officer. Annotated on the last page as appropriate e.g.

“I have sighted the original document and certify this to be a true copy of the original” and signed by the Authorised Officer.

List the name, date of certification, and contact phone number and position number (if relevant) and have the stamp or seal of the Authorised Officer (if relevant) applied.

I asked the registrar officer if she can place this on the last page of every document but she refused. All that she can do is stamp and sign.. and seal.. but she won't place the printed name, date and contact number of the authorized officer..

will Australian Uni return my documents if were not CTC this way?hayyy..

then the registrar officer told me she will stamp, sign and seal each pages of my docs and provide an envelope from the school then enclose all the documents inside.. seal it then she will sign the envelope to certify (as a whole) that all docs were sighted by the school registrar.. is this okay?
