Hi there... May I know which AHPRA BRANCH did you send your application? Address please can you provide. Thank you very much will be lodging my application today.

It doesn't really matter which branch you send your documents to. What they do is they scan a copy of the documents you sent and upload them through a system. It is then probably distributed to a certain registration officer who assess your application.This is purely based on experience. We all have different qualifications too so an exact time frame of getting the LOE is not always certain.

hi, if you dnt mind me asking, did you bring your original documents to Aus when you took your BP? thanks :)

You will not need be needing them during your BP. But if you are planning on staying on a longer term to probably look for a job or what not, then I suggest you bring them with you and make sure you have it secured.

Hello guys! Just wondering who will be attending IHNA June 20 Melbourne campus? And I have a question about the E-learning, because my Girlfriend told me that it has an assessment however I already finished the first module of elearning and I didn't encounter any assessments..

I mailed my AHPRA APPLICATION last May 8. By May 16, AHPRA emailed and acknowledged the receipt of my application and documents. Im aware that PRC certificate of good standing is required, Do you think i can mail it directly to ahpra using prc's official envelope (with window)? This was done by some of our colleagues here too which i read from this thread before. Which courier should i use? I was wondering if i need to wait for AHPRA's feedback first in which they will inform me of the needed documents i should accomplish and reference number before i mail the COGS??

THANK YOU FOR ANY ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE.

I just used an ordinary mailing envelope and send it to melbournes local courier which is Vicexpress and to answer your second question you can send it ahead even if the COGS haven't asked yet...

Thinking of looking for a school for BP as early as now. Any suggestions please? Im eyeing sydney and melbourne. But any state will do as long as there is hospital placement for bp and where job hunting would be more feasible. My budget is limitedí ½í¸” Can anybody tell me how much should i prepare in peso including PR application? Im a worried about expenses. The maon reason i did this without hiring any agent or agency which is way too expensive.

Most of the BP programs are located at VIC states, there are just few institutes that offer BP in state of NSW, I would say that Job competition here in Australia is pretty stiff as for nurses because there's a lot of migrant nurses who came these past few years. In term's of your budget BP programs averagely costs around 11-15k AUD, I got mine from IHNA which costs 10,900 aud in Heidelberg campus which is located in northern suburbs of Melbourne. In PR application I can't remember the exact cost but i think it was around 2-3k AUD i guess? And when we came to Melbourne our pocket money is 3kAUD which is fine when your starting because we only rented a room from one of the Filo families here. So all in all just sum up the numbers that I gave you and convert it to the current aud to php exchange rate and that would give you the idea how much it would cost you to start your career and live here in melbourne. And lastly me and my partner did not ask for any assistance from agency because it saved us tons of money, you can do this steps by just researching in google. My references for PR application came from pinoyau.info and the rest is from immi.gov.au. Hope that helps you and goodluck to your future plans and applications.
