Bridging Program in Australia

World Registration

Published

Hi. I am new here. I don't know exactly where to go. I am a registered nurse here in the Philippines and I am interested in studying in Australia for a bridging course that will help me become a registered nurse there. I need some help on looking for a good school that offers a bridging course.

My aunt told me that a friend of her friend just went to AU to take up a test and in 6 months she's there for a bridging program. and I have this friend who has a friend who became a registered nurse in AU in 6 months time too. This agency is offering me to study for a certificate III aged care with occupational English test for 46 weeks in Einstein College but it costs too much. So now, I am trying to look for a school wherein I can apply by myself and hopefully get in. I am hoping I could leave for AU this June 2011. I am a bit lost on what to do. Can you help me, please? Any suggestions? ? Please help me. Thank you very much. :clown:

(Sydney area would be better since my parents are more familiar and in favor of that place... though other cities/areas will be great too)

With respect, processing time frames always vary. DIBP lists a current time frame of 3 months for subclass 189 and 190 but I don't think a lot of people got their PR in 3 months. Even yours took 8 months. Mine took about 6 months. Other people that I know took 2 years. And one guy took 2 months. To be on the safe, I reckon 12 months is a safe bet. You have to factor in circumstances that may delay your application such as SkillSelect, medicals, and documentation.

I agree. It does vary from case to case to basis. When did you apply yours? Because nowadays, they process a lot faster. I'm talking about people who already have their LOD's. And I think "12 months minimum" is too long. Of course, this depends on the applicants too, weather they satisfy all the required documents upon the date of lodgment.

Oh I moved to Oz from NZ in 2009. Got my PR in 2011. I understand it is significantly quicker now and thats a good thing.
