You're lucky because they do. So you can now start processing your papers mate
if they consider "volunteer" experience, may i ask, how about "training", like being a nurse trainee in a hospital's ICU training program? would that be favorably considered too?

You really don't need experience here in aus (at the moment...watch out after July). But these volunteer and trainee stuffs can somehow help in boosting your cv well that's if the hospital offering you a job after your bridging really cares about it.
can anyone help me out on deciding whether to take a bridging program or a bachelor's degree?you see, i'm aiming for sydney.i've actually asked for assistance from idp about the bachelor's degree and boy, was it pricey! and not to mention, way time consuming!
i've read on this thread that the bridging program is way cheaper.also, a friend of mine told me that the list of the in-demand professions in australia now excludes nurses.is this true?
Pls read the other thread with the title filipino nurse seeking to register in western Australia. Plenty of information there too.
Don't believe what people tell you coz nursing here is worth 60 points tied with doctors, dentists, and specialists. Nurses are in demand especially in the rural and remote areas.
my friend wants to ask if there would be any problems should he choose to apply for migration after gaining registration as a nurse and how long it usually takes?his sister tried to apply for it when she was there (she's in the IT course) but she was denied of it because she lost some points(because her profession was excluded in the in-demand list of the immigration)and so she had to go back here in the philippines.
-->sorry i had to ask, i'm quite curious too about the answer and my friend doesn't want to log in although i've tried convincing him:rolleyes: he's trying to decide between the UK and Australia
Hi, I'am a registered nurse in the Philippines with 1 year experience as a NICU staff nurse. I took up the ARNTP ( Australian Registered Nurses Training Program ) at the University of South Australia it was a 6months program, after which i registered with the Nurses Board of South Australia and got my registration right away (meaning you just have to wait for an hour ) that fast. My other colleagues took their bridging course in Victoria at ETEA the program lasted for 3 months but some of them got an early exit they were able to finished it in 8 weeks. Last Month i had an interview with a local hospital and was hired as a Paediatric Nurse, Now i am just waiting for the approval of my nomination then i will start with the process of applying for my 457(business longstay visa). If you have any questions regarding bridging courses here in OZ please email me at i might be of help to my fellow Registered Nurses.

Will definitely find it easier to go to Australia than the UK. Very hard to get a work permit for the UK

IT is very much different with nursing. Although you can sponsor yourself, ens(employer nominated scheme) is better because it's faster when getting pr and you only need 100points. 120 points when you apply yourself. Pr takes 1-6mos to process depending on your circumstances

good to hear that....i'm planning to go to south australia as well....is the bridging program in victoria applicable to south AU? I'm planning to have my post-registration BSN in flinders university(student visa) but apparently the education cost are sky high (around 1M pesos) so i am thinking to also go for the bridging program if applicable in south AU (maybe retake my IELTS---writing module is hard for a flat 7.0!!!,have at least 6 mos hospital expierience and training)....thanks for your help!

Is letter of eligibility from nmbsa required to enroll in arntp? What month did you begin your course? Is experience strictly required? I'm on really tight sked. If I don't make it to curtin this July I'll most likely end up in adelaide or Melbourne. Crossing fingers. I prefer the 1 year curtin. Haha
I was with the May 2009 intake, I applied directly to UNISA. Please visit their website for further information. Experience is an advantage when you seek employment after your registration but not a requirement. You just have to execute a statutory declaration why you have not had any registered nurse experienced. The costs was really high but think of it as an investment for your future and your family. It is also better to take the BG in Victoria as it will only take you 3 months or less.

MEDIA STATEMENT
SKILLS AUSTRALIA TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON NEW SKILLED MIGRATION OCCUPATION LIST
The Australian Government has asked Skills Australia to provide advice on the development of a revised list of skilled occupations to be used for general migration purposes.
The new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) will be published by 30 April 2010 and will come into effect from mid 2010. The new SOL will streamline arrangements by having in place one skills list to replace the current skilled occupation list, the Migration Occupations in Demand List and the Critical Skills List.
Skills Australia (http://www.skillsaustralia.gov.au) is an independent board comprised of experts from industry, economics and education. Its role is to provide advice to the Federal Government on Australia's current, emerging and future workforce development and skills needs.
The Chair of Skills Australia, Mr Philip Bullock said "A targeted skilled migration program is, and will continue to be, very important in ensuring Australia has the skilled workforce it needs for our future economic and social development and prosperity. The request of Skills Australia to provide advice on the Skilled Occupation List brings general skilled migration into the fold of national workforce planning. This will better ensure that skilled migration complements the efforts to develop Australia's existing and future workforce-through the provision of high quality education and training for new and existing employees, the effective use of the skills in the workplace and a holistic approach to workforce development in Australia."
The new Skilled Occupation List (SOL) for migration purposes will be developed by Skills Australia. It will focus on specialised occupations that require a long lead time of formal education and training and where the economic impact of not having those skills is significant.
Skills Australia will use the latest industry, education and employment statistics and trends and information supplied by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. The final advice to the Government will be considered within a broader context of Australia's ongoing and future workforce development and skills requirements.
The new list will aim to ensure Australia's General Skilled Migration program is focused on high value skills that will help address future skills needs.
