Hi guys! I would just like to ask if you there are still states that may issue 2yr eligibility letters? Thanks!

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.

Thank you for that information. So it doesn't really matter as long as you got letter of eligibility from AHPRA in any branch? By the way, did you enroll in The College of Nursing in Burwood? I heard that's the only school in Sydney which offers bridging course.

Do not pay the registration fee yet, only the application fee and the assessment fee

Yes, as long as you have the LOE from AHPRA you can apply to any school at any state you want to, since AHPRA is a national body. Yup, I am for CON/ACN in Burwood, the only school in Sydney offering BP.

When is your intake? Is it difficult to get a slot in that school? I just have to know so that I can prepare also...i hope you can help me in the future too if you don't mind :)

For those that applied in AHPRA VIC, how many months or weeks is the waiting time before your license will be released after the bridging program? Thanks
