Hi @rsanti! Congrats on the good news! Which state did you send your application to? Also, does AHPRA really need the Program of Study from CHED and the proof of taking Pharmacology class in the Philippines?

Thanks again! :-)

hey Lala, just want to add with what rsanti posted. I did request for the pharmacology from the school. For some reason, AHPRa wasnt able to receive it. So I wasnt able to satisfy criterion 8 but was still referred to the bridging program.

Hi, im a newbie here. My husband is currently processing his letter of eligibilty from aphra. One requirement is the letter from ched to be forwarded directly to aphra. How much does it cost?

Hi Michelle, as far as I can remeber, its less than a hundred bucks.

Thanks rsanti. May I also ask how long will it take for them to send it? and what do CHED requires for them to make that letter? :)

Hi Michelle. Just wanted to share that I didn't go to CHED to apply for anything at all. Firstly, we dont satisfy criterions 2,3,6 and 8 anway and secondly, I didnt know it was a requirement. Anyway I still got the LOE after a month and a half. You might want to read back and check on other posts regarding this if you want to be 100% sure. :)

Hi marianela.. i think we have same family name. Im waiting for them to assess my papers now. It would be good if we can keep in touch?

Whatever we do, we won't meet criterions 2,3,6 and 8? Will the bridging program suffice all those we lack?

Unfortunately, yes. Hence we are referred for BP.

Yes I agree with dy3p.. The subjects covered in BP give high emphasis on those criteria.

Some of my friends who are nurses now in Oz told me to get the CHED certification while others did not include it in their applications. I decided to apply for it just to be sure, whether it is needed or not. i wasnt able to satisfy those criteria but i got the LOE in just 25 days!

What are the requirements to be submitted to AHPRA after bridging course?

I did include too during my application last 2014 because im not sure about it.. But now a days several memebers here who apply last year did no bother to include those requirements from CHED that made it through.. 😀 Cheeers guys..
