Hi purply!

My card was charged when they received all my documents and then a Registration Officer emailed me that they have just received all my documents and then I emailed her several times about updates. Luckily, she is quite accomodating in messaging me back. This is the newest reply I have from her this morning. I think you better make a web enquiry about you application to know your current status. This waiting game really is an agony but we can just hope for the best and spend our time waiting in prayers :)

Thank you for this information. Maybe they are charging after they assessed our documents to be sufficient to progress to the next IQNM level? I hope I am right. The wait is really dragging but I kept telling myself I shouldn't complain more because there are a lot in this forum who submitted their docs since last year. You're very lucky with your CO, I hope the same goes with me. Let's continue to pray harder.

I sent mine 13th August and received receipt of application from NSW 21st Aug. I didn't get any e-mail after that though. Can I know how you lodged an inquiry? I am getting worried because until now they didn't charge the registration fee on my card. How about you?

hi! I lodged last Aug.6 and just got the receipt email on the same day. Then I made a web enquiry because I dont know whom can I ask, CO doesnt email me anyting, but the web enquiry replies:

"Your application for registration as a Registered Nurse was received by AHPRA on06/08/2014*and is currently under assessment with the registrations team.

If there is anything further you are required to submit in support of your application, or once an outcome is available the registrations team will contact you directly."

Hope to have the LOE in soonest time :)

I sent mine last May 5. My CO has not contacted me yet. Ever. So I always do web enquiry. Last week, I got the same reply as you did.

When will you application be scheduled for decision? I'm not sure about this but you should contact your CO. Also, you should have a valid IELTS for bridging program. I guess, you should take one again.

AHPRA finally replied to my tweet. We have a date now.@AHPRA: @submittedBYron the first Filipino applicants will be considered on 8 October 2014. (1/2)@AHPRA: @submittedBYron To progress Filipino apps ASAP, we have scheduled specific meetings for Filipino applications. These begin 17 October (2/2)Good luck to those who will be considered on Wednesday and a lot more on the 7th.

If I didn't email AHPRA 2 days ago, I wouldn't know that they want additional details. One of which is the Certificate of Good Standing. PRC sent it directly. As for the SCHFS, they are only sending electronic copies... can anyone help me how to go about with it?

Here's a response from my CO:

Thank-you for your email.

All applications for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (the Board) are being assessed in date of receipt order.

I am unable to advise as to a timeframe with regard to the assessment of your application but your application will be presented to the Board for consideration. You will be notified by email and post as to the outcome of the Board’s decision.

Please email if you have any further queries.

Regards,

.... Couldn't get anymore generic than this. Oh well, at least we're just a few weeks away now.

Am I right that you worked in KSA? In my case, I had my aunt go directly to the office with the receipt of payment and asked them to provide her a copy in a sealed envelope. That's the one I mailed to AHPRA. It will be easier if you do haven't exited the kingdom yet.
