Thank you she_pinayrn for the info. I have ine more question, did you send the letter from school seaparately from the accredidation body? I have been thinking to send both letters at 1 package and address it the sender to school because sending them separateky is costly, unless otherwise i dont jave a choice to send separately

Hi she_pinayRN,

can you email me your email add? My email add is [email protected]. I just have a few questions. I hope you can help.

[she_pinayRN]

aui24k, I was thinking of sending it at the same time as 1 package to save money but the registration officer has been persistent that the documents be sent directly to AHPRA from the education provider or regulation agency. I just forwarded it separately.

You can send it either by PO box/Mailing address as seen in the template or by the Office address of AHPRA NSW if you prefer to be send by courier. Just indicate that it is for IQNM applications.

MAILING ADDRESS:

I forwarded my docs using the office address last week by courier and I received confirmation last friday that they received CRITERION 2 and CRITERION 8 docs. I just requested further extension for the submission of CRITERION 3 (accreditation body) and informed them that it will take time.

[om'sarah]

For criteria 3, i went to paascu and ched office and gave the template and letter to them. For paascu, photocopy of tor and diploma are okay for ched, they need the certified true copies.

After completing this, are we going to send it to the address at the template or to where we submitted our application?

Hi aui24k,

Where exactly inside CHED is the one responsible for filling up the template? How long will it take? Did they put it in a sealed envelope? Are they the one who will send the finished template to AHPRA or you are the one sending it using CHED address as sender? My mom will go there by monday and I want that it will be a bit easy for her... TIA!

Hi om'sarah,

ched office is in UP Diliman, then take C.P. Garcia, the first building (where there's construction). Tell your mom to tell the guards she will request for accreditation letter for your application. She will have to leave an ID at the front desk and will direct her to go to CHED NCR. It is kn the second floor and inquire on the guard right up the stairs. She will have to bring certified copies of tor and diploma and will pay 40 pesos. I will call them on mondaybif the letter is already finished. What they do is seal the envelope and i will be the one to send to ahpra.

Thank you she_pinayrn. Im still confused if for criterion 3 i will send ched or paascu letter. Sending them both on separate package is costly.

Hi everyone! Im a filipino nurse in Saudi Arabia and am planning to end my contract this june to pursue Australia. My AHPRA-TAS application is on its 4th month on assessment, meaning I'm still waiting on my LOE in hopes it will be released soon. Kind of nervous about being unemployed soon (oh dear) but trusting on God for the best. :))

I was wondering if it would be possible for me to apply for the visa online since I have plans of waiting things out while Im in the US (on tourist visa). Or would I have to return to the Philippines to do that?

[ceridwyn]

What visa are you going to apply for, if you are not yet a Registered Nurse? Cannot work. cannot stay.

[puppy_eyes88]

Visa for the bridging course when the LOE comes out hopefully. Usually applications for visas with other countries have to be processed from our place of present residence (like where we work) or home country. I was wondering if we need a personal appearance with the Australian immigration or if we could do it all online.
