Competency Assessment Service - Queensland, Australia

Hi everyone, I'm starting this thread so we can share information about the CAS, the program we should pass in order to gain registration in Queensland, Australia. I have passed all four components of the CAS challenge test and it can be done with hard work and a lot of prayer, you do not really need agencies for this. For starters, the challenge test is a 70 item test with multiple choice questions, occasionally with identification items also.

I'll consider that... thanks! :idea:

I got my Challenge Test at CQU Sydney. I think in the Philippines it is being conducted at IDP Makati.

do not sit for the exam without reading the recommended books, because everything is book based. My exam was more of short answer questions - short but concise and direct to the point. The multiple choice are very tricky.

If you are sitting for the 1 day Part B test, and have problems in accomodation, try booking at queenslandholidays.com.au

It would be a wise idea to be at your test venue 2 days before your exam to give you time in knowing the transport system etc.

Guys, if you need those recommended books and cannot buy it because of cost. (One book here costs around $68 plus shipping to Phils, would cost you around $100 per book) Send me an email, I will direct you to a person who has those resource books in the Phils.

The Queensland Nursing Council just released a memo dated today 06 March 2009 stating that effective today all IELTS band score the Councill will accept are 7 and above. It stated there that all pending applications will have to repeat IELTS if they obtained less than 7 in any of the components

Check their website for updates.

juz wanna share the website that can also help answer some of our queries..

I agree that we really don't need to pay for expensive fees that agencies are asking from us.. (in a way it's alright if you have the money because it has the review program and everything including visa, board and lodging in australia)

hi, joeturtle.where did you get the CAS test? can it be done here in the Philippines? Or do I need to go to Australia to do them?

I did part A challenge test in IDP Makati, near greenbelt. Part B test of the CAS can only be done in Queensland.

Once you have your License, most hospitals will be able to sponsor, some have even facilities for accomodation. Again, the Internet is a powerful tool, search the Queensland Dept of Health and all tertiary hospitals in queensland are listed there. While you are doing your clinicals, write them already a letter, so when you get your license everything will work out just fine for you. A step ahead with your application is always better.

He is right, I emailed one of the hospitals in Brisbane and they asked me to send a CV. I did and also told them that I'm still in the Philippines and would still need to pass the Part B exam. To my surprise, the HR replied that they definitely have a position waiting for me once I receive the license. So to those who have not signed with an agency, don't bother, you can do it on your own using information readily available on the web. QNC has changed the passing marks for IELTS, I think this is just the beginning of stricter requirements to come so the earlier we finish this process of getting our registration with them, the better.

hey, that's great news!! do you have any hospital experience written in your CV? so the hospital is willing to sponsor as an employer for you? post updates! thanks!
