Hi everyone. How long does it take for AHPRA to email if they already received your application? It has already been a week since my docs was received in AU but no email yet. Thanks.

hi @sunshineee28 it took 2 months in my case because. Normally they take 1-2 months. keep in mind that AHPRA receives thousands of applications so I suggest you to have some patience :) good luck

hi @Ncollee... Agencies have no role in providing you AHPRA'S Refferal Letter. I suggest you to do some research on AHPRA'S website. The application process is quite simple :) feel free to contact if you have any questions

Not too long nowadays. When I applied last November 2015, it took them a week and a half to issue the LOE. I've read some posts saying that they received theirs in a week. Back in 2013-2014, it was taking them 6-8 months and even a year.

Once they received your documents, it will be raffled to a Registration Officer and that RO will inform you that AHPRA has received your documents and undergoing assessment. The RO will also be communicating with your if there are questions and request for additional documents, if needed.

Agencies, no... but there are "agents" for schools like IHNA here in RP (assuming you're here in RP) that can assist you... although much of the documentary requirements for AHPRA can be handled personally.

None, the verification of registration/certificate of good standing must come from the regulating body you just mentioned in their own format.

Thanks dy3p! I know that the copies of my documents need to be certified by a notary public right? Thats what I did for my docs from the Philippines atleast. Im not so sure how to proceed with those that come here from Oman though. How did you have your documents issued from the UAE certified?Thanks!

Hi I am from Singapore. I have had my documents from Singapore certified in a notary public in the Philippines. So basically no issue as long as it meets the standards set by AHPRA on certifying documents.
