hello xanxan

just want to ask if we are ought to do these serology tests only at st. luke's extension clinic or the other clinic in makati (the only 2 clinics recognized by the australlian embassy for medicals). or we can do it in other local diagnostics labs?

with certified, do you mean notarized?

thanks.

For the immunization records, i went to my family doctor for assistance. Some schools that I applied at required submission of these documents with the application (though some dont but would ask for them when you are accepted and actually enrolled)..

CERTIFIED is done by the notary public...plus stamped certified true copy. (AHPRA required the CTC but i submitted all docs like that so its consistent). Ensure you have extra copies you may need them when you are actually there and based from this forum for registration after BP.(unless that has changed)

Hi everyone, I would just like to ask if anybody knows how many theory hours and clinical hours is required for registration? My clinical placement was delayed for two weeks so I am having a problem with my visa. thanks!

Hi chelseaxyrene!

I believe AHPRA requires the same number of theory and clinical hours in all BP Providers for them to be accredited. I am a bit worried with your situation because I am for September intake at IHNA. How is your clinical placement going? Please keep us posted.

hi everyone! I am quite nervous since it is my first time to travel abroad. can someone help me how to find good accomodation in Melbourne (preferrably near IHNA) and how did you travel from airport to your place? did you hire a airport transport? Thank you so much for your reply.

Ahpra's requirement is 200 hours for placement. Don't be worried sjane. Ihna's placement are not delayed. It's just that i am.doing my bp in perth and they assigned me to nsw for placement. I asked ihna if i could have my.placement.here. they did find me a spot but i' delayed.for 2weeks. So, its not such a good idea to transfer placements :) i should have accepted the first clinical placement they gave me. Anyway, i have 2 weeks left...

I will with God's help. I did not avail of ihna's accomodation. It's too expensive and a bit far from the city.

Will you do your bp in ihna? Ihna will.check your.vaccines at the start of theory and i lack meninggo vaccine at that time so i had that vaccine here. Why won't you be able to.finish the vaccines? My friends were able to finish in one month time. They would have 2 vaccines each visit :)

there is one doctor who's clinic is in Heidelberg near ETEA office and when i also went in Au I lack the flu vaccine so I had to do it here. I certainly think you can do some of the vaccines here as long as you do them before your clinical placement starts. :)
