Yes, they have received it last month but I'm still waiting for an update. May God help and bless us always! ������

Hello, may I ask when you mailed your documents and how long did it take for them to contact you stating that they have received your application already?

Thank you.

Hello everyone. I am about to send my application to AHPRA. May I ask how you sent your documents? Did you use paper clips for documents with more than one page? Did you use a clear file folder and place a document per sleeve or did you just place them all in one envelope? Thanks in advance. :)

It's almost a year since I checked this forum. I recently passed OET (yey!:)) and now I'm processing my papers to lodge it to AHPRA. I've been reading the AHPRA site again. Is there any changes with the 8 criterion or is it just the same?

Please enlighten me. Thanks everyone.

one envelope will do, no paper clips please.

congrats! yes please use the new updated agos 40 dated july 1. goodluck on your application. No changes i guess just the ICHC info in agos 40 and for docs for criteria 2,3,8 if i'm not mistaken, it's up to you if you still want to send it, it won't matter anyway, they still ask you to do bridging program.

agos 40 form (july 1,2015 version)

proof of identity with oz address and the rest of proof for each category( bank statement or any billing statement with oz address)

updated cv

updated employment cert ( if applicable)

and bridging completion letter from school ( school usually forward this directly to ahpra)

ICHC police clearances ( please do this 3weeks before your bridging ends, PH takes 1-2weeks)

Cert of good standing (PRC and other country you had work)

please include cover letter stating your bridging course details and you may also state what documents you provided previously that still valid.

Usual processing time for AHPRA is 4-6weeks.
