Hello Majai!! I am joining IHNA Melbourne on May too! Did you pass all your requirements already? Did you avail IHNA's accommodation? I am happy to find a batchmate! :)

Hi. I did not continue with IHNA. I've chosen MCIE - under Wimmera June 1.

Include only your professional experience. If you have worked as volunteer nurse before, include that as well.

I entered my second name on "other name". Do not combine your two names. I am left with Hepa B and MMR last doses which will be due before I fly to Melbourne :) The compulsory Hepa B serology which I think needed to be done within/after 8 wks of Hepa B doses completion, I will just do in Melbourne, because I have no choice, I already lack time. I got BUPA health insurance. I don't think there is an option for 3 months or 1 year, I cannot remember. What I know is, the form states the start of insurance, not the end of membership. What I lack is the WWC. IHNA just informed me last week.

Thanks. I've entered it as 1 word yesterday!huhu! How can I contact AFP and ask them to change it?huhu!

What WWC? regarding BUPA health insurance, I was asked about the start and end dates of my visa..so there will be an automatic charge monthly for 1 year? can we cancel it whenever we need to exit Australia? When is your flight?

Thanks..

I lodged my application in melbourne, vic office

[kimchesk]

i am planning to process it on my own but i am not really sure of what specific and kinds of documents to prepare.. i am kind of confused on how to process my ahpra application..

You can visit the ahpra website and

Download the Agos-40 form. There are specific instructions and checklists written there. You can also consult australian migration specialist, they will assist you for free. In my case I personally lodge my application because I'm currently residing here In australia.

...the problem is i am in the Philippines right now.. is there any other way?

What I did was, I asked my friend who is still working in saudi arabia to print it there. After that, she went to the saudi council office and asked them to stamped the printed good standing certificate with their logo. They also gave her a saudi council envelope. My friend mailed the sealed envelope directly to ahpra. I just instructed my friend to make the saudi council as the sender with their complete address in it.
