Meeting AHPRA requirements as a International Trained Nurse from the Philippines

danceinstructor · Aug 11, 2012

I've gone through the AGOS-40 and most requirements there were clear. I'm working on my CV at the moment, and I think it's finished. (I tried to stick to the guidelines) Can anyone send me a copy of his/her CV so I could just compare?

I am having a HUGE problem right now.. I just need a 10 day extension on my eligibility and I have just e-mailed my case officer (again) about this... I was not granted extensions during my previous e-mails. I will have to wait for her reply again which I'm sure is going to be the same as the previous. I do not want to go there, do the BP, spend the money and not be considered for registration at the end. to some I have talked to, they say that it's okay since the BP started while the LOE is still valid. I have called AHPRA too and that's what the person on the other line said.. that it's okay. I gave them another call and I guess its a different person that I have talked to. He said that I may or may not be considered for registration in the end because of the expired LOE. If i were you, please re-apply your AHPRA now.. just to be sure..I am now praying that my e-mail for an extension will be granted. :)

Hi @patringrn,My problem is AHPRA told me to withdraw my application first and then apply again. Actually, I dont really see the point of withdrawing and then repeating the process of registration all over. haisst..

I will also be waiting for Ahpra's email.. And I will try to seek for earlier course of intake. Thanks.

Why withdraw? What happened to your LOE?

Hi everyone....I'm in a state of panic. I just tried to go through my topics in e-learning but the IHNA website shows "You can not enroll yourself in this course" . I havent completed all my e-learning course and still have plenty to complete. Has it happened to somebody? What can be the reason that I am being refused from access to the course? Guys please help:bluecry1: Is it mandatory that we have to finish e-learning within a fixed time and can not access again and again when we havent finished it?? By the way, I am scheduled for October 8 intake at perth and I was availed of e-learning entry from june 2012.. Please help somebody....

hello again! i would like to ask the following questions:

>is there a need for me to pass (Aphra) a certification from my secondary and college school stating that they taught in english? or an ielts result of 7 is enough? (someone told me about this) (english is just our 2nd language)

>what is the PLACE OF PRACTICE? where your current work is located? or the place in australia where i'll lodge my application?

>what are the documents that i can attach as a proof of identity(i guess CATEGORIES ABCD IN APHRA FORM are not suitable for me- coz obviously, ive never been there)

> as for me I just passed my IELTS result. I think that certification was only valid before september 19 2011

> the place where you will lodge your application. so if it will be in AHPRA VIC, write melbourne, australia...

> in my case, I passed my Birth Certificate, Passport, Board Certificate & Drivers License. i think you need to pass other documents if you're married\

Your AHPRA state is not VIC, is it? AHPRA seem to have unsynchronized rules. My case officer at Victoria did not consider my LOE because the BP should be finished before the elig. expires. Any attempt of asking for an extension is deemed futile. I sometimes wished I applied at any state other than VIC.

Yes from NSW. Let me clarify that with my case officer

Did she directly tell you that your loe must be valid even until after the course? Seriously, if you think about it, that's unreasonable because the purpose of the letter is to let you enroll in a school. After the course, your key to the next step would be the letter from the school endorsing you to them. Am I right? Why don't you call them and talk to a manager

There was a threat that if I enroll at a later intake, my registration will not be finalized and I will not be granted a license. Believe me, a case officer from VIC is not someone you want to deal with. As ms so and so said, it is not AHPRA's responsibility to ensure that there is available bp school placement for every overseas applicant or that every applicant gets a placement before the LOE expires, as in my case. Too bad VIC case officers are not as kind and considerate to overseas applicants as NSW case officers are..

Do you have a copy of her email? Would you mind posting it here for the sake of the readers?
