Thanks dy3p! I'll just post my reply here as I still can't send you a PM. The detailed list of documents that you sent me really helps a lot. I'm also glad that you've included some explanations on it. Thanks again dy3p, I was really inspired on how fast you were able to receive your subclass 600.

· We have given a list of 8 diseases to be considered , First you should do all the serology and then tests and at last the vaccinations so that it will be easy to schedule and easily you can finish.

· Mandatory Serology

1. Hep B – If Positive result then you can sent us the report, if its negative then you have to take vaccination and again you have to do serology to confirm it.

2. MMR - If Positive result then you can sent us the report, if its negative for any one also then you have to take all vaccination and again you have to do serology to confirm it.

3. Varicella - If Positive result then you can sent us the report, if its negative then you have to take vaccination and again you have to do serology to confirm it.

· Mandatory tests

4. Mantoux test

Kind of sad news. IHNA melbourne and perth campus are now full for september & october intake. January is the next available intake. Do you have other BP-approved school that's as inexpensive and great as IHNA and ACN in mind that you can recommend? Possibly for septemebr/october intake? I'm really sad because my money is just enough for this type of tuition fees.

Really? That is quite a bad news because I am aiming for the October intake in IHNA Perth campus too, however, my papers are still with me and will send it to ahpra by tomorrow. Did you ask For available slots of ETEA?

Hi Tonyang, have you received your LOE? when did you received it?

Hi Tonyang, have you received your LOE? when did you received it?

Not yet. Its been 2 months. Part of it was my fault since it took me 1-2 weeks to send them my COE. My RO requested to have it revised due to incomplete details and unfortunately my RO is quite unresponsive like it will probably take him minimum of 1 week before he gives me feedback.

The problem is some ROs would still require us to submit criterion 2 and when you do, they will tell you 'criterion 2 unmet'. Haha.

Currently, Im hunting for a bp school now. No luck yet. IHNA is full so January will be the next available intake. Im considering Monash as my second option. ACFE is quite expensive around $14k. Tsk.

[Hen88]

To all Monash students, how did you apply at Monash University? Can we apply directly at Monash? How? Or do we have to go through AussOne corp or Education Linkages Philippines for enrollment for their BP?

Kindly enlighten me with this because I just want to enroll directly at Monash University and not go through any third party agencies..

[Hen88]

I finally got my LOE... Thank you for your guidance.. í ½í±†

What should I reply to AHPRA?? I mean there is refund and all so I would like to know how you guys deal with this?

Are we allowed to just continue with the registration application assessment with AHPRA until such time when we finish our bp to submit the bp certificate to complete the application? I would not want a refund since I plan to complete my registration application after bp. Can anyone help me with this? I'm still lost.

[AaronBem]

Hi Tonyang,

After receiving the rejection letter from AHPRA (LOE), I emailed my officer and informed him that I've enrolled for a BP.

Regarding the refund, I reckon the refund is mandatory since our application were rejected. Thus, we need to re-apply after BP.

Hope this helps.
