Hi! Good am filonurses. I would like to clarify where should I send my docs and my good standing overseas. I'm a bit confused either in level 8, 111 bourke st or GPO 9958 etc?thanks

Just a caveat...

COGS are to be sent directly by the concerned agency of the country where you are requesting them (i.e. PRC for Philippines, SCFHS for Saudi Arabia, etc.). AHPRA does not accept if from the applicant. SCHFS of Saudi has a facility to do this... for PRC request that it be placed in an envelop with PRC letterhead and send it via express registered mail of PhilPost.

Hello! Hope everyone is having a good start to the new year! :)

I'm filling up the AGOS-40 but I'm having trouble with the PROOF OF IDENTITY portion. I have my Philippine Birth certificate, Passport, and PRC license but the only boxes to mark have "Australian" in them. I'm now confused as to what boxes to mark as I clearly do not have an Australian birth cert and passport. Please enlighten me on this. Thank you and God bless! :)

Your passport would actually suffice as proof of identity. I was also going to submit my birth certificate but I could not have it "certified true copy" because the public notary said that NSO does not allow them to do so.

Hello friends, I have recently received a mail from my RO that, My COGS send from the Saudi Council Dammam was not accepted because it was send from third party. Actually it was send directly from the SCHS office in Dammam. Anybody has faced the same issue please share your experience and request your guidance.

Thank you

Have you tried explaining to your RO about the situation? Maybe he/she was not aware that SCHFS also has offices in other provinces of the Kingdom.

Hi, I also took PTE and you dont have to send the scores to AHPRA using your Peasonvue acct. All you need to do is download and print the PTE score report and send it along with your other documents. Have it certified as well. Cheers!

Hi Lovella_Ellen! I sent my application in ACN last dec 23, 2017 and received an email from the customer service officer that she started her leave last dec 22 till jan 15. So jan 15, I did a follow up and received a reply the following day telling I need to provide immunization records and serology so I sent it on the same day. Last Monday I emailed again to follow up but till now there's no reply. í ½í¸ž

Hi Ge311, I'm based oversees and I sent mine early Jan2018. ACN acknowledged they received it last Jan 9. I emailed them for updates last Jan 18 but they never responded. Hopefully they will offer me soon bec my referral letter expires on Dec 12 Please let me know if you have any update from them.

Hi Ge311, have you checked if ACN deducted the $250 application fee from your account? They deducted the amount on my account last Jan 18. Hopefully they will send us results soon.
