Moved to the International forum as per the red banner. We have a really good thread on Australia so would suggest you have a good read there and ask any questions

New Zealand requires their own licensure and it has nothing to do with working in Australia. Since you have actual paid work experience, more than likely you will be able to get licensed in Australia without having to do the bridge program.

Follow the instructions that are given in the threads that you can find by using the search engine at the top of this page.

Best of luck to you.

Thank u sis. By the way, i don't have my passport right now coz my company is keeping it. So due to my status i can't apply to either of these countries-NZ or Ausie, unless i go back to Phil. Does anyone know how much money and how long it would take to go to Ausie or NZ?

Again, please take the time to actually do some reading on this site, much has been written on this very topic.

Also sounds like not a wonderful company that you are working for if they are keeping your passport.

NZ has the same requirements as well, nothing is going to be immediate.

If you have three years of paid experience, then you should not have to go thru the bridging program that others need when they do not have the experience. Costs are going to be quite similar for either NZ or Australia.

You will be getting your visa back when you leave the country that you are in, it is needed for you to travel with. Do you have a photocopy of your passport in your possession now? If so, then you can start the process for licensure and get that out of the way instead of waiting until you return to the Philippines to start.

But once again, please do the reading here that we have suggested to you. No sense for anyone to just repost the same information in this thread for you.

Thank u sooo much Suzanne! I've read a lot about this Queensland, ANMC and all those stuff. In just a week past, i've read overflowing infos that is helpful to anyone. This site is just a perfect eye opener and everything you need is given detail by detail if you put an effort to read. I guess i'll just have to take IELTS as a first step to have a glimpse of Ausie! God bless everyone!
