Hello. I am enrolled in IHNA Perth August intake.

Hello lorenzx,

Are you now here in Perth?

Hi guys! Need your help. I'm in the process of applying for ACN's EPIQ program. I have sent my application and they charged me the initial $250AUD already. I am lacking just the AFP AND a visa approval (This is my prob).

I have lodged an application for the visa but the Board of Immigration is also asking for an evidence of enrollment which is the letter from ACN. I have emailed ACN telling them the Immigration is asking for the enrollment letter but said they'll only issue one if I have an approved visa.

I don't know where to go from here.

Hi guys, any news about your application? I directly lodged my application and completed documents in AHPRA - WA Office on June 29 2017 and the following week they have received my PRC COGS and school documents, They deducted as well the payment in my credit card on July 08 and fit2work sent back to my email the outcome of ICHC..However, I haven't received any confirmation letter from AHPRA stating they started processing my papers. Any similar situation? Thank you

Did you apply for student visa or visitor subclass 600?

The 250 fee initially charged by ACN is for the acceptance of application and that a slot has been reserved for you. You will need to pay 1,000 AUD more to accept their offer of that slot and then they will issue a letter that you have been accepted to the EPIQ Program which you can use for the visa application. The remaining balance is due 3 weeks before the commencement of the program.

Hi,

I just want to ask what documents you get from your school? Does your school sent the documents on your behalf or you're still the one who did that?

Thank you.

[Jigglypuff2017]

Don't worry they will release you a visa as long as you've complied with their requirements. All the best. x

@Rainieryeicoo, I just requested from my school the accreditation letter and evidence that I have done pharmacology. I tried Course syllabus but it takes too long to be released.I had my own TOR and RLE copies and didn't ask from them and attached to my AGOS-40 form. There was a form for an accreditation letter designed by ahpra and it's on their website. My cousin organized these documents on my behalf and my school addressed it from them with c/o my name directly sent to Ahpra.

Hi Danika0528,

Finally, I have found someone who is quite in the same boat as me. I am also a registered Nurse here in the UK, came here in 2013. I also had a year experience in the Philippines so that's basically 5 years of experience in total. I am starting my AHPRA application and I really do hope that they won't require BP on my case. May I ask what visa are you applying for, now that you've had your Oz registration? and did they require you to present your documents in person eg passport?

TIA! x
