Hi @kimchesk! May I know where you lodged your application?

ms_cog86. You can try australian migration specialist, they have facebook account. They are in partnership with the many schools in australia and they assist in ahpra application for free. I have attended their orientation before, they are located in makati. You can keep in touch with them, just add their fb account. By the way, I personally lodge my ahpra application without agency assistance.

i am planning to process it on my own but i am not really sure of what specific and kinds of documents to prepare.. i am kind of confused on how to process my ahpra application..

anyone knows how to arrange Saudi Council to send Certificate of Good Standing directly to Ahpra? thanks..

you can request it online and pay through atm via sadad. once they received the payment you will receive in ur email a copy of ur goodstanding, print it and bring it to saudi council office to request for a sealed envelope. then pay the courier fee at fedex located at ground floor of saudi council bldg.

hi i also had the same problem before... and so i asked my Registration officer on what to do... you can ask them too... I explained to her in all honesty that I am already in the Philippines and that saudi council is only issuing electronic certificate of good standing and if it is possible to have it directly emailed to ahpra but she told me to just request for it, print and send it personally to them then she will refer it to her superior. And thank God they have accepted it. And so, the best advice I can give you is to consult your RO about this matter...

I lodge my application for ahpra eligibility letter in ahpra last december 2014, completed all the required documents emailed to me by my RO in march 2015 and I recieved an email today stating that my application will be assessed by the board on april 15, 2015. My concern is that my RO did not ask me to pass the criteria 2, 3 and 8. When I called ahpra about this they told me that there's no need for me to.process the criteria 2, 3 and 8 because there are so many nurses from the Philippines who took the BP course. Anyone here who have the same experience with me in which their RO did not require them to.pass the docs of criteria 2, 3 and 8 and yet received their LOE?

I think you just have to follow what ahpra told you... you are lucky they didn't require you to submit those because as per experience it was not easy to secure those documents but still it wont satisfy criteria 2, 3 and 8. Maybe they are no longer requiring that because just last year their research found out that all filipino trained nurses will not meet criteria 2, 3 and 8 because our education standards do not match that of with Australia Especially in the accreditation part. And so most likely filipino nurses will be referred to bp given that they will satisfy the other criteria and be assessed as AQF 7. anyway i got my bp referral eventhough i was not able to satisfy criteria 2, 3 and 8... dont worry much, you will have your loe too... just never cease praying...God bless...

Hi everyone. ..please help me on how I can complete my vaccination requirements before the commencement of the bp... is there a vaccination provider or center or i dont know what to call it, here in the philippines where i can go to have all the required vaccinations?... what are the serological tests or blood test that i need to have to determine my immunity. I only have 2 months left before the start of my bp..do u think i can still comply with all the vaccination requirements? Thanks in advance to those who will answer...

Hi I'm new here, I would like to ask if my RO says that my application will be progressed to Board for review, is it almost near for final assessment? Thanks

[elmutero]

Hi!

i would just like to ask.. I have submitted my application to APHRA last January, and they responded that they have received my application by Feb 3.. I was just wondering.. How long did aphra notified anyone of you, that the application is for assessment of the board?..

Would they notify if there are lacking documents?

Thank you very much! í ½í¸Š
