Bridging Program in Australia

I emailed AHPRA a request for extension of validity last March 4 thru their web enquiry and also sent my case officer a copy of the letter. I got my reply today, March 6.

Hi Ely_ana,

Wow! You got a reply in just 2 days? That was really fast. I applied at AHPRA WA. I am still waiting for their reply. So what was their reply to your request? Did they grant you an extension?

Which ahpra state did you request for an extension? I had mine in qld, got a reply in two days.

Hi there annie_v2g,

I would like to ask what was their reply to you. Did they grant you an extension?

Is there anyone here who is for May intake of Mercy Health Training Institute? I am currently looking for accommodations near that school which is located in Parkville, Melbourne. If there is someone who knows of one, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Hi sbeattrix,

Yes. Thank you so much. I really did not expect it. I woke up so early yesterday around 6 am to check emails. I got the email around 6:15 am and was super elated. Such great news to start the day with yesterday. God is indeed great and I feel so blessed.

The end of the course date is 18 July. Just 2 days after my LOE expires (16 July). I already emailed my case officer about this one. Hope to have her reply today so I can start with the payment and visa processing.

I think it's wise grab the Alpine Health. It's really hard to secure a slot especially if the provider is a hospital since the number is very limited (mostly 12 and below per intake) unlike with universities that they can accommodate more than 25. I suggest you talk with someone who's for Alpine Health also and maybe you both can share accommodations.

Thanks for your advise Lani_g...and i'm so very happy for you. even if i won't be classmates with you, i'll see you around in australia! praying for the best for all of us.;-)

Miss Lani_g, I sent you a message in facebook. Hope you could reply!;-)

Hi to all fellow nurses!

Submitted my docs to CON and to Castlemaine Health, now waiting for their updates. would be extremely happy to share the information......

By the way,after almost 2 months no reply from CON yet...

Hi Iam new here..just wanna know if i need to redo my IELTS if it expires after getting my decision letter from AHPRA? Wrote twice but could not score individual 7. Got 6.5 in writing . Is it necessary to have individual 7 for BP?

I would be more concerned about getting a positive assessment from AHPRA which you will not do if you do not have all individual scores of 7. aHPRA also want a current IELTS for registration after BP.

Hi lani_g85,

I was not granted an extension since I just got my LOE and I was just replying to their 14-day deadline if I agreed to the one-year LOE validity. They said they will only grant extensions in "extreme circumstances". BTW, I did this in AHPRA WA (same as you did) but maybe your concern is considered "extreme". Keep your hopes up!

Miss Lani_g, I sent you a message in facebook. Hope you could reply!;-)
