Hi @Amaree21! Did you mean you received your LOE 3 months after you submitted your requirements?

Hi proudpinoynurse. I'm sorry. I just re-read the thread and I must have thought you have been notified by AHPRA already that they have received your application just like with Mimbletonia. My deep apologies. I sent my papers on November 8 last year. By Nomber 20 I received an email from AHPRA. To which state did you submit your application? And which carrier company did you send it with? Do you have a tracking number?

Hi @Amaree21! Did you mean you received your LOE 3 months after you submitted your requirements?

Oh my. I am now positive that I am confusing you and pinoyproudnurse. You are Mimbletonia and you have received an email from AHPRA. Ooops. Sorry again.

Yes. 3 months was the wait from the time they told me all my papers were complete upto the time they sent me notification that I need to do BP.

hello!

This is my first time to apply for something abroad and i'm quite lost. I'm looking to enroll for a bridging course at Melbourne and i have heard that one of the requirements is acquiring a letter of eligibility from AHPRA. i would just like to ask what are the steps that i should take to be able to earn the LOE? Any information would be a great help. thank you so much.

Thanks for clarifying Amaree21! 😊

I cannot tell u the hospitals name due to confidentiality issues but it one of the best private hospitals in sydney cbd. To those asking why students failed, a lot of reasons I would say, so yes if you enrolled in ACN do your best in clinicals because they have two sets of assessments.

Now as of writing this, Acn still yet to send out our letters to ahpra, it has been 6 agonising weeks of waiting. Ihna batches of april-May and others schools already had their registration while 24 of us still waiting for them to finish up that letter and ahpra has beenputting up deadlines on us, I myself asked for extension of submission,which was initially set aug 10.

Clearly guys, it's not worth it doing Bp with them. And trust me when you enrolled with them they won't tell you about this waiting period until your first day of classes.

They may tell u ahead where are you posted during clinicals but mostly you will know it on first week of classes, as much as possible they will try to post you near to where you stay and it could be depending on your hosp exp and availability of facilities. Basically clinicals are all over sydney area only, big hospitals, rehab centres and aged care facilities.

what are the two assessments that you had? is it really 5 week lecture and 6 week clinicals? didn't you have any classmate who finish it earlier? and did you have any classmates whose English exams are nearly expiring? did they have any problems with their registration? thanks for replying and hope you have your registration soon.

Hello all! I am new here. I intend to apply to AHPRA soon but I have few queries. HOpe someone kind will help me out. I contacted an agent who is saying that my registration and visa along with living expenses will cost me 30000australian dollars. Isn't it too much? Though agency says that it will arrange everything from application to visa. Is it too tough if I do it myself? I also heard that nowadays, it's hard to get employed in Australia if we don't have PR. Is it true? I am so nervous, so any help would be appreciated. By the way I am from India and have 13 years of critical care experience. Many thanks in advance!
