Hi. I hope you could help me, I'm having a dilemma right now whether to

pursue ACFE ( I have paid the application fee and passed the interview and I'm scheduled for April 30 intake) or to wait for

AAON. I am scheduled for the interview on Mar. 12, for thier June intake. I'm bothered because Business

Visa is the only type of Visa ACFE students could use ( 3 mos.only). Since AAON Iron program is CRICOS maybe a 575 Student Non-award or 676 Visa are applicable to AAON. It might be an advantage since it allows 4 months or longer of stay.

I hope you could help me with this. I haven't started Visa processing yet. My AHPRA will expire in October 2013.

Hi princesita. why do you prefer a stident visa by the way? I am on 456 visa, but since it is a multiple- entry and valid for a year, i'll just have to exit on my 3rd month then go back in Australia afterwards. In my opinion, you can go for ACFE so that you will finish your bridging early.

Hi princesita, i just want to ask...how long did AAON give you a feedback/schedule for interview since you lodge your application? thank you.

Hello Arenlima.Congratulations for successfully going through this process. I'm about to start this journey and have loads of questions. This website is truly helpful. I'm a Filipina nurse working here in Jeddah (have been for the last 15 years of my life). I am quite ancient (he he) 44 years old; not sure what my chances are of working in Australia should I pass the bridging course and get registered.

Meeting APHRA requirements is confusing. I really appreciate the input of those who went through the whole process. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us.

Hi everyone, anybody have an idea what the BP is like at Alpine Health? What about the interview, what do they usually ask?

Hi guys! I'm a little bit confused...does it matter which AHPRA branch you applied for an assessment? Because I want to take the bridging program in Sydney because my friend who will help me with the accomodation lives there. It is known that processing time in Sydney takes 4-6mos as they said. Is it ok to apply for an assessment in Victoria, which is a lot faster, and in case enroll in Sydney for the bridging course? Please help. Thank you :)

Yes, you can apply to an AHPRA Office (in a state you want to) for assessment and/or obtain eligibility, and take an approved bridging course in a different state other than the territory (AHPRA Office) where you lodge your application. As for my case, AHPRA WA granted me the eligibility and my BP will be in Sydney. You can check AHPRA's website for further info about their offices.
