Question, does it say on the agos 40 form that your school has to send the transcript directly to ahpra? I thought that was just for nursing license verification or certificate of good standing. ?? And so it's TOR plus or with course description?

The final proof is that you need to be present in person in Australia at the AHPRA office to finalize the registration process. I could not do this last part and had to withdraw my application. So my advice would be to make sure you will be entering Australia within 1 year of your Letter of Eligibility before paying for the application. Hope this helps and good luck.

You will pay your registration fee on the 6th week of your course.

Hello I'd like to ask after completing the bridging program, will the school process all documents to AHPRA for our registration? What other documents/requirements are we going to submit to AHPRA to finalize our registration? Thanks.[/quote']

Yes the school will send all the documents to ahpra you will just have to pay for the registration fee personally and you will submit your 100 point identity like your passport. In our case because we are just on visit visa our passport is already 100points but the officer on duty will also check your visa grant notice copy.

Yes the school also needs to send a copy of your credentials to ahpra for confirmation, thats your TOR and your related learning experience(RLE)

And you also need to have your personal copy too to send to ahpra.

The school also needs to send credentialling of the course while you were attending by CHED. Does this get done on a regular basis like Australian Universities by ANMAC if not Filipino applicants may have problems with AHPRA.

Yes thats right;)

And school credentials is already included in the TOR and RLE.

Ok thanks! God. It's a lot of work . When I went to the aus embassy in London for certification, the consulate said, you must really want to go there, i said , not really I just don't want to be here anymore. I guess I'll just ask my sister to go back to the school, I was hoping being a nurse in the UK, and US should make them less focused on my college transcripts... Oh well, I guess no way around it.

HI! Can anyone help me with the lists of requirements for the AHPRA letter indicating that I can take the IRON program?

[ceridwyn]

I do not think credentials written on school letterhead will be good enough must go to AHPRA from CHEd/PRC direct, school could tell them anything, stories are often told, especially quality of clinical placement and pharmacology.

[ordoghaz]

So do I have to ask for TOR and course description from my school? Or prc and nursing councils should handle or say what standards they used to qualify me? Anyways, does it say on the forms that the nursing school should send training transcripts directly?

[jdyboy]

Can anyone tell me the documnets to be sent to AHPRA by school or Prc?

School-TOR (for overseas, includes RLE and accreditation of CHED) is this okay in one form?

Prc-certificate of good standing

and what else?

Thanks and will appreciate replies
