1 year

Thanks!

I wonder how long will it take for PRC to process the prc license verification form/good standing. My bestfriend went there and she was told that to follow it up within 2 weeks.

It shouldn't take that long. 2 weeks is enough to have it claimed as well as sent and received by AHPRA.

Hello everyone. I'm already in the stage of applying for a VISA and complying with the immunization. I'll be taking my BC in IHNA on June 26. I have a few questions:

1. How do I know which medical exams/serology should I do? any specific workups?

Ans . The test they will do are the ff (chest xray, HIV, Hep B)

2. Do I really need to upload notarized CTC of documents required for the visitor visa subclass 600 or would they just consider me uploading the originals instead?

Ans . Just snap a picture or scan the original document then upload it with the title each PDF according to the documents

ahpra requires experience atleast 3 months within the last 5 years. That means you have retain your registration overseas.

Hi.

Statement of Service and Certificate of employment are the same.

I did not submit original document. I just submit photocopy + notarized.

Good Luck.

Thank you.

Hello everyone!

I'm glad to be active here again. Since i've been a member of allnurses in 2012, I've finally pushed through with the application process with AHPRA! Its nice to know that there are updated information regarding the process here. :)

Does anybody know if its okay to send AGOS-40 later than the certificate of good standing from PRC? I didn't realize PRC was very quick in processing my certificate. The tracking shows my PRC cert has arrived in Melbourne, but I still am to send my AGOS-40 on Wednesday. Thanks in advance!
