Hi everyone! I'm just new to this site. I recently passed the oet exam here in Melbourne and been doing PCA job for 2yrs now since I came here as PR. My

question is, do I have to send the AGOS-40 form to ahpra without the certificate of good standing yet? Or should i request for a certificate of good standing first to PRc before sending the AGOS-40? Appreciate ur help. Thank you!

As you are onshore, i think it would be better for you to request CGS from PRC first as it will take a week or two before u send AGOS 40.

Welcome to the waiting game...

I did mine simultaneously. Had the Philippine requirements sent first and then when it was sent, I dropped in my AGOS 40

@ldcv did your RO give a specific timeframe for the decision of your application?

[ldvc]

mae_oz nope, i never got specific answers from my ro since then. sent me an email telling me that it's already scheduled for review and that was it :) you?

Hi! It is my first time to make a comment on this thread but I have been following this thread since I applied for AHPRA registration.

AHPRA received my application last October 31, 2013. I am also waiting for my letter of eligibility for more than a year now. I can totally relate in your agony. But recently, my best friend, who is already an AUS RN, told me that AHPRA will abolish the bridging program next year and change it to a one year study program. I am hoping that it is not true because most of us are planning to have our bridging next year. According to her, this will be the last year they will hold the bridging program.

Does anyone know the same news?

I think its just a hoax..i have heard of that since last year or maybe they are planning to do it,but definitely not next year because AHPRA is still issuing LOE for bridging program
