No I haven't received any email from them confirming that they received my application. But I already emailed AHPRA now. Will wait for their reply. Are you also from the Philippines?

I think maybe because October 7 is friday here. So maybe they will start receiving now because Oct 8 and 9 are weekdays. hahaaha

I am OFW currently working here in Singapore. How about you? Which school and its intake are you eyeing? How were you able to e-mail ahpra? I did'nt notice any email address. If you have, please let me know. ^^,

Hi everyone! Im finally here in Melbourne taking up the Bridging Course/ IRON Program in ETEA. So far, my 3rd week in school has been good. I'm already preparing for my clinical placement this November and will finally end the course in December.

I would just like to ask anyone here who were previously OFWs from the Middle East like I was. I haven't actually reviewed yet the reqts for the actual AHPRA registration as an RN. But I think I will be needing another set of certificates of good standing/ registration from PRC (Phils) and from Saudi where I was also registered prior to working as a nurse there.

*Do you have any idea if the same rule goes (like how it was when the reqts for issuance of an LOE for a Bridging Course)?

*Do the certificates have to be sent directly from the institution to AHPRA through registered mail or can I personally submit hard copies to the AHPRA office?

*Do I have to submit AGAIN ALL the reqts which I previously submitted for the LOE?

*One more thing... I also heard that payslips from previous employers are required as proof of previous employment (aside from cert of employment)? No confirmation yet, just hearsays.

Thank you! I hope to hear from anyone. May everyone else with the same endeavor succeed in this field!

Good day guys what address did you use when you sent your AGOS 40 with CTC documents? And the letters from your school and CHED as well as COGS of PRC? Is it in GPO BOX mailing address or the street Address?

[xesant92]

Use the street address @Avillanueva

[AVillanueva]

Use the street address @Avillanueva

But according to the template for the Education Provider and Regulatory authority I downloaded, it says AHPRA GPO BOX 9958 SYDNEY NSW, 2001 and also in the application form it is also GPO box. Will I use the street Address if I send it via DHL? I'm a little confused

Ched,school i sent to sydney as ched followed the address in sydney they are the one who put the address in that envelope..gpo they used

I utilized the PO box address thru Philpost EMS. It took about 6 days for AHPRA to receive my documents though. DHL doesn't send to GPO box addresses so I picked Philpost EMS instead. Quite cheaper too.

They have also reviewed my AGOS 40 and unfortunately the RO told me that I have left question 17 blank so I have to send a Tel-G 40 form with Nov 8 as the deadline before they will commence reviewing my documents.

I hope this goes well.

Hello kyle just received an auto generated email from [email protected] today saying that they received my application and will contact me if they need additional requirements. Hoping for the best. Cheers!
