Good day everyone. :)

I have submitted my AHPRA registration last July 21 and I got a letter last week from my registration officer stating that my application cannot be processed since I have not submitted requirements from Criteria 2 & 3. I really did not bother to comply with these requirements since it was stated in the NMBA website that applicants who have studied in the Philippines do not pass in this criteria anyway.

However, since they are asking for it, do you have any idea where I can get my Criteria 3 document? This is the about our program of study being externally accredited by a professional regulatory authority.

Can you share to me your experience as to how fast you got this document? Or if you haven't been required these documents, which state did you submit lodge your application and do you suggest that I just appeal to my RO not to submit these anymore?

Any advice would be of great help.

Thank you and God bless.

hi fellow nurses.. i am currently collating my ahpra documents and the Professional Indemnity Insurance is something i dont understand. Do i need to purchase an insurance at this point? please help. help help

Im Philippine educated but currently practising in Singapore .thanks!

Hi. You don't have to purchase the Professional Indemnity Insurance at this point in time. The question is actually asking you if you commit to only practice nursing in Australia if you have a PII. Just tick the yes box and that should be fine. I ticked the "no" box when I filled up my form and that was one of the few reasons why my registration officer sent me an email.

thank you soooooo much ... what a relief :)

hi zoie.. i wonder why she didnt require you docs from school/CHED...

MY BEST guess is that she doesnt expect you to provide it, however your school and CHED must sent it directly to AHpra.

keep me posted pls.. im still in the process of collating my docs and my mom in Phil is helping me do this as i am currently overseas.

Hello everyone! I lodged my application last Jul 24 on ahpra nsw. I haven't heard from them since then. I'm a little bit worried now. How long should i wait for my r.o to contact me? I already sent a web inquiry but i didn't get a reply too.

[Mimbletonia]

When did you send them a web inquiry? They said we should give them 2 working days to reply.

Hi pongpong30!

I still dont have my visa. Im quite worried already beause there's so little time left.

At what number did you contact the Immigration? I keep on getting forwarded to an agent who keeps on telling me to just email my concerns.. Which is really frustrating.

Thanks! You found a place to stay yet?

Hi Mimbletonia! I sent my query more than a week ago.

Hi Mimbletonia! I sent my query more than a week ago.

Did you provide 3 points of identification? (name, email, residential address/ birthday) The last time I emailed them, they replied that they cannot respond to my query because I lack these information in my last email. Anyway, I think it is time for you to ask for an update again (just for peace of mind) 😊

Hi Mimbletonia! I sent my query more than a week ago.

I suggest you call them.
