Thank you for your response. I guess we can now proceed in gathering the needed documents for the APHRA assessment.

God bless☺️

hi everyone.. I'm new in this forum and i find it really helpful as I am still on the process of collecting documents for my initial registration to AHPRA. I'm just a bit confused on some of the questions in AGOS-40. question number 9 (what are the details of your examinations and qualifications) is a bit confusing, does this only apply after you have taken the bridging program or you state your college degree in the Philippines? By the way I am a registered nurse in the Philippines since 2009. Can anyone please enlighten me on this part. thank you :)

Hi guys! I just want to ask where the decision of AHPRA will come from. My RO is in Perth and she emailed me that all my docs are complete and she'll email once they have the decision or if they need additional information. I would like to ask how long will this take on the average?

Also guys, i would like to ask what are the vaccines and blood tests you need to have for the B.P./ clinical placements for that matter. Can i have them right now while waiting for my letter of eligibility! LOL super excited!

If you don't mind me asking, which countries did you include?

[tracc]

Hi nessie! Is it about the ichc? You need to get a check for every country you live in at least 6 months. I think. Because that is how the question on the agos 40 goes. If i can remember correctly it goes like "have you live in a country other than australia for a least 6 months? I had checked yes and wrote philippines.coz thats just where i live, then get apply for a check from fit2work.

Hello! I'm new to this forum and i too have applied to Ahpra. Lodged my docs around first week of november then i got an email from case officer that I need to send additional documents such as my certificate of gud standing, ICHC reference number and official letter from my school regarding RLE hours. Have complied last week and tracked my documents that they arrived last wednesday. I emailed my CO if he has received all my additional docs and it has been 3days, still no response from him. Now I am worried and anxious.

[tracc]

Good luck! Where do you plan to take the BP? I submitted my docs almost the same time as yours. í ½í¸ƒthey have received that dont worry. I was also anxious after 3 days of not hearing anything from them after my email. But my RO responded after 4 days and said my docs are complete. Be positive!!:) all the best to us!

Hi, what document do we need to get from CHED? Thank you

[spiccoli]

Hi there! Just got my result from ICHC. I know they're going to forward the result directly to Ahpra. Hoping my CO will notify me if he has all the needed docs he wanted by now. Anyway, I'm eying for IHNA. How about you?

Hi everyone. I am suppose to send my documents already to AHPRA when I noticed the instruction about using A4 in all supporting documents. Mine is mixed of A4, short and long bond paper. Are they really very strict in this regard. Thanking you in advance.
