Meeting AHPRA requirements as a International Trained Nurse from the Philippines

Lizzzz · Mar 9, 2015

Hi everyone, i'm kinda new here and I just need to ask if any of you has some feedback regarding ETEA? Im planning on enrolling at their adelaide campus since i have relatives there. I already sent them and enquiry but they havent responded yet. I'm kind of bothered because I've read in another thread that it would take 2 months for you to get registered after finishing the BP in ETEA. Any additional info would help. Thanks!

I did my bridging in etea (Heidelberg vic campus) and I got my registration in 2 weeks. That was in 2013 though. I heard during that time, some students are having trouble with their registrations already..

Hi anyone for ihna march 30 intake in melbourne? Whats next after paying the enrolment fee?

Hi There!

Can I ask when did you apply for the intake? I'm for the same intake as well. After paying the enrollment fee, you should receive a receipt of your payment and then send them a copy. You will receive a confirmation of payment from the accounting office and a number of emails detailing further documentation requirements like vaccination and consent forms. Accommodation for the theory part is free, if you want to avail, tell your admission officer beforehand so that they could give you the agreement form. See you there! God bless!

Has anyone here tried doing their medicals at the st.Luke's medical extension clinic in ermita?

And Do you have an idea how much is the medical examination in Nationwide and SLMC? Thanks!

I did mine in Nationwide Makati for 5260. om'sarah did hers in SLMC for 7+ I think.

Hi guys! How are you all doing?

Just wanted to ask if someone has already applied for the international criminal history check check with Fit2work? How long did the process take to be sent to AHPRA? Or do you have any idea for how long will they complete the check?

Thank you!

It's surprising how the requirements for the bridging program are getting more complicated these days.
