Hello. I'm a newbie here. I am currently waiting for my spouse visa and hopefully go back to oz before the year ends. When I go back there I will retake my english exams as they are already expired and then apply for assessment in AHPRA. I have completed the school requirements. I have heard that there is something to be requested from PRC and CHED, right? Can you guide me on these? Also, when should these documents be mailed directly to AHPRA? I hope you can help me. Thank you

How do I make the Continuing Professional Development papers and where must I attach it? I don't see it in the current AGS-40 form or the CV. I plan to use my AHA ECG, BLS, ACLS and ANSAP IVT as my CPD, will it suffice?

Just include it when you submit your agos40 and CV... it's proof that what you have indicated in your CV is true and correct. It's not exactly needed... but it's not bad to add it as well.

After submitting your AGOS40 and CV and other docs, you can request the Certificate of Good standing from PRC... and PRC has to mail it directly to AHPRA... There is additional fee for PRC to do this and there is a need to follow up with PRC if the document has been sent. There is no need to get documents from CHED

To those who are still looking for IRON schools... I suggest that you find one that has an assured hospital placement... so as to spend less money than stay in Au for a long time just waiting for an available clinical placement. And you don't get to finish the course on time if you just take the lecture... wait for a few weeks... and then take the clinical placement...

Thank you so much for your reply!

Can I ask another question? The Professional Indemnity Insurance is just the one on AGOS-40 right? The one where you just choose whether yes or no? No other file is needed for that?

hello all! just wanted to ask how you mailed your good standing certificate. when i went to PRC last month, they said they no longer mail directly to ahpra. so i mailed it myself, but since prc did not give me an "official" envelope, i used an ordinary white envelope, and wrote (by hand) the address of ahpra. i'm a little apprehensive about what i did, so wanted to ask how you guys did it. thanks in advance!

Yes. And don't ever tick "no". I did that and my RO asked me to send her an email with a statement that says "I will never practice the professsion without PII". Or something like that.

That is unusual. What was their reason of not mailing it directly to AHPRA? It's a standard practice that professional agencies like PRC has to do credentialing services such as sending good standing certificate directly to other professional agencies.
