Hi! I've been working in a dermatology clinic since 2011 up to 2015. I moved to the US and I started working in a nursing home in the US from Jan-Sept 2016 then worked as an RN in a nursing facility for 6 months. I came back to the Philippines and worked again in the same dermatology clinic. Can I put that on my AGOS form? Will that be accepted as work experience? Can they consider that as work experience?

See AHPRA's Recency of Practice standard. The answer to your question can be found there.

Hi! Im just new in this forum. I'm waiting for my LOE from AHPRA. I just received an email from them informing me that they've received my application. I'm just wondering how long will it take for me to wait for the LOE. My credit card wasn't charged yet either. Thanks!

Hi! Did you get charged for the application using your debot card?

[mekenimekenidugdugdoremi]

Nope. I used my cc instead. But still it wasn't charged yet.

Back in 2015, I just used the express emirates post. Nothing special.

Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - Registration Process

If your application is considered complete

Your application for registration is complete if AHPRA has received all the information required to complete an assessment. Refer to the relevant section of The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009 (1.26 MB, PDF) (the National Law). The standard timeframe for the assessment of a complete application is:

Up to 10 days for graduate applications***

Up to 10 days for provisional to general applications

Up to 10 days for specialist applications (where general is already held)

Up to 4-6 weeks for all other application types. However, complex applications, including those from overseas, may take more time.

*** Due to the significant increase in the volume of graduate applications received during the end of year graduate period (October – January), the assessment timeframes of complete graduate applications may take up to 4-6 weeks.

Delays may be experienced if AHPRA is awaiting the results of international criminal history checks from an approved supplier. However, in most cases this check will be available by the time the registration application has been assessed.

For further information, please refer to the International criminal history checks page.
