I dont have/know that NSW vaccination card. I'm not sure if I need that. Im planning to submit our DOH vaccination records + vaccination record and serology tests record done here at my work at SG + form indicated earlier. So those 3 only. My vaccination record and serology tests here in SG is signed by the lab personnel as it is an official record of the hospital. I haven't submitted any thing to ACN yet since I'm still waiting for the referral letter from APHRA. Submitted my AHPRA application last Aug 2 and hoping I will get the letter soon.

Do you know anyone from ACN? If yes, any feedback? I'm not yet sure between ETEA and ACN. But for ETEA, I read a lot of negative reviews.

Hi. You can use the application form found in ACN's website as a guide. No need to accomplish NSW vax card. You just need to provide evidence of your immunizations. Check this out: Entry Program for Internationally Qualified Nurses (EPIQ) | Australian College of Nursing

Hi, do i need to send agos40 first before asking PRC and my university to send theirs? Thanks in advance!

Hi. There is no particular order on which one should go first. From my experience, I sent first my COGS then my AGOS-40 after a day. Also, I did not bother to accomplish letters from the school.

Hi. Are you sending a certified copy of your vaccine record and lab tests? I dont know anyone from ACN, I just heard positive feedback about them.

Good day everyone. I want to ask if anybody has an idea What if I requested for a Good standing certificate and it was sent way ahead to Ahpra even before the end of my bridging program and before lodging the registration? Will they dispose it and Do I need to request for another one? Hoping for your kind reply. Thanks.

I think they wont dispose it as long as it's still valid. COGS only good for 3 months.

I see. Thank you Lovella. Do you have an idea if the validity would be based from the time the Good Standing was released from the regulating body? Or is it from the time that AHPRA received the good standing? Hoping for your reply. Thank You.

It's based from the time the regulating body released the documents. Date should be in the COGS document itself.
