Bridging Program in Australia

Even if you graduated from a university but you lack the work experience, I don't think Australian employers will hire you. A rich work experience and an Australian license are some of the essential things that matter to any employer. AHPRA will not allow private institutions to conduct bridging courses if they are not qualified in the first place that's why they have this accreditation of license to conduct the course which they apply for or regularly renew.

I would like to ask how to go about with the APF check required by the Australian College of Nursing? I'm for the May intake. Also, has anyone applied for the Visitors Visa 600 (Business Stream 1415) already? Thanks! :)

im for May intake ihna perth.. how about you??

That's actually what i have in mind. Any facility offering such course for nurses may it be in a university such as deakin or a private institution like ihna or aaon, as long as it is accredited by AHPRA and NMBA should not be questioned by anyone.

if you live in manila, maybe visa application is faster compared to other cities/places that takes weeks to have it.

hi qymburlee!!

I'm a newbie here :) I am currently taking up the assessment of competence program here in ACoN Burwood..I am really enjoying it; however, I'm still anxious about the coming clinical placement. If you could kindly give me some tips, that would be awesome!! :) also, tomorrow, we'll be doing the "clinical skills"..any tips? :) i hope we can meet each other :)

Hopefully yes. I waited 3 weeks since I lodged my visa application before it was released. If you lodge it now, even if it will take a month, you can still make it..

Hi nurseZEL,

When did you receive your offer letter from Deakin? Thanks!

Hopefully yes. I waited 3 weeks since I lodged my visa application before it was released. If you lodge it now, even if it will take a month, you can still make it..

Hi Julairose! May I ask when you applied for your visa and what visa you applied for? and for the 3 weeks..was your medical included in that duration?

Hi jb_101!

Sorry I couldn't send a private message so I am posting my reply instead. Yes I am for the May Intake for ACN. Actually, I was supposed to be for April Intake but due to the issue of the immigration and ACN I was moved to the next intake which is May. Did you have the same problem?

As for the visa, I am with the agency that you mentioned in your message and my visitors visa 600 (business stream) was lodged last friday. But oddly, I haven't received any text message from the embassy that they received my application.

Anyway, for the AFP name check. I was checking the online application and there was a part where I needed to fill up the details on "Contact Number" and Australian Drivers License Number and I couldn't move on to the next because I placed my Number in the Philippines. How is that?

Thanks!
