I've been active in this forum before and am still reading the thread when I can. I would just like to give you guys encouragement. I have just recently received my 457 visa. I went through all you are going through right now - from applying for registration with AHPRA and getting denied because our education does not match AU standard, looking for a school and enrolling, applying for a 600 visa, studying for 3months in AU, re-applying for registration with AHPRA and finally getting registered, going back home to look for possible employment, applying online in different hospitals in AU, offered a job and got nominated, applying for 457 visa, and finally receiving my and my husband's visa grant. There were times when I didn't know if I'll reach my goals. But here I am now preparing for a new life in Alice Springs. All of you will get there too as long as you don't quit. All your efforts will gain merit in time. All the best!

Hi can I ask what exactly does AHPRA mean by the instruction to institution? I am from the Philippines and will soon lodge my application but I am still confuse about this I think it like getting my transcript of records to my school, diploma and getting it authenticated and next is going to Commission on higher education to have it verified which will then be forwarded to AHPRA directly. But I am not entirely sure about this requirement. I hope anyone can help me. Thank you in advance :)

download the template form from ahpra website and give it to your school and must follow the said template. What i did was I printed it and gave it to them. You need to attach 2 sets also of an endorsment letter from your school, tor, rle, diploma and the template they made and forward it to ched by you or your school. Thats what the CHED in my region 7 required me to submit. Good Luck :-)

Hi tobbywalter!

Thank you for your reply, Does the endorsement letter needs to be an orignal copy or certified true copy may doe? Also can I ask if this document should be sent together with my AHPRA application? Or this document can be sent as a follow up? Thank you! Your reply is really appreciated. :)

what I did was I only gave the photocopy of the AHPRA template they made and gave to CHED. Then the original of it I included in the course description my school sent to AHPRA.

I just complye whatever requirements they are asking , I dont want my application to be pending just because of a certain documents they are asking.

the endorsment letter coming from your school to ched should be original . I did not include it in the AHPRA. Because CHED will only gave a letter detailing that your BSN is externally acredited by them during your school time and that is the one they will sent to the AHPRA in my case . I dont know if other regional ched follow the same policy .

what follow up are you trying to mean? I dont get your point. if it pertains to AHPRA never wait for follow up documents they will ask from you as it will take time and your given a deadline in my case the case officer gave me only 3wks to supply the USRN cert of good standing, and you will never know if you can beat the deadline, so might as well request and complete what the requirements stated in the ahpra website.

Read again the agos 40 , everything is there . Goodluck :-)
