Letter of extension from AHPRA

Published

Anyone here who has given an extension of time by AHPRA? What is the main reason why they are asking for extension of time? They gave me Dec 29, 2017 as the date of extension, would this mean that they will give a reply on the same date or before this date? Thank you! I submitted my docs last july 20, i received a reply from my RO requesting for additional docs (coz i used my married name and all my docs were in my maiden name) on sept 12, he gave me til oct 10 to complete (which i did) then i received another reply on oct. 12 asking for an extension (request for extension of time in order to decide for my application) until december 29, 2017!! Im still waiting in vain til now. Still patiently waiting for God's time. Im just hoping that they will not ask for more docs, nor give me a refusal letter!

Hi, i also received an email asking for extension last week.

I have heard others got their LOE's after a week or so whilst some took longer. I feel your pain. All we want is to get the letter and move forward. I hope you get yours the soonest. May i know where you are applying from?

Cheers

Hi! I've also received a message of extension from AHPRA this morning. I do not know the grounds of the extension since I have submitted my requirements on time, they have asked me to comply further requirements and I sent them in less than 4 weeks. You must've received your LOE by now, have you received it earlier than the given deadline? I want to know some tips about the extension. Thank you

Notices from AHPRA regarding extension of assessment period usually implies that the Registration Officer cannot yet make a decision on your application. Reasons vary from from lacking some documents or maybe even if the RO may have other concerns that he/she cannot divulge. It is best normally just to accede. In most cases, it won't really go that far into the mentioned date(s).

Hi, thank you for your response. Since it has mentioned in their email that they are still waiting for further information from me, they did not tell what any other documents do I have to complete. Do you think it is best to call AHPRA and ask them clearly about it?

Definitely, if you have submitted all required documents, better verify as to what is still missing... most probably these would be COGS coming from the registration agency of your country or that someone may have forgotten to update your status.

I doubt if you'll be able to talk to your RO directly if you call since the numbers they publish are routed to their customer service department so email would suffice. Should you call, do inform the CS person to note that you have submitted all documentary requirements.
