You are indeed heaven sent! However, I can't pm as of the moment since I have not reached the required number of messages. I will do just that as soon as I reach the quota.. with regards to your visa queries, according to what I have heard, as long as you are already registered in qld as a nurse, you can easily get hired there. What I have researched is this.. from Business (short stay) visa- subclass 456, it can be converted to a Business Long Stay one if you already have an employer. That is according to my research.. However, I think you already know that the QNC will grant you a subclass 456 visa when you go there for the part B challenge test or the Clinical Module.. subclass 456 visa is good for 3 months I think so after getting your license, you still have time to look for a job. I hope that helps you somewhat..
Just to clarify some things:
Visas are not issued or granted by QNC, it is rather granted by DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship). You will also apply for the visa you need and not QNC.
I found all the info in this thread very helpful. I am currently in the process of collating my documents for registration in Victoria. I have no work experience (it was really hard looking for a job in the Philippines). I am currently in Melbourne on a 457 visa (care of Hubby).
I know that this question might have been answered in one of the posts, but I was wondering what I can do with the Verification of my license, which is one of the requirements of NBV. Would PRC require me to personally lodge it, or can it be done by one of my relatives.
If one goes to the PRC and requests for the Verification for Australia, would they know that right away?
Advanced thanks for the replies ... :)
You can make a signed Authorization Letter for your relative to request the said document in your behalf. Don't forget to provide a copy of your license and an ID preferably a passport copy. :) As far as I know this is the good standing certificate that PRC will send directly to NBV and they know this one already.

sassyjess, if you file for verification with PRC and you have a "downloaded" form from the nursing board you wanna apply, then PRC will fill up that form.. that's "verification" as far as PRC is concern... if you dont have a "downloaded" form which is possible as other nursing boards do not provide such, then you file for "good standing certificate" with PRC.. both might be the same as far as we and other nursing boards are concern, but in PRC's viewpoint it is different, and the difference is as what ive explained above.

yes.also in my case, if you havent downloaded a request form the nursing board that you intend to register, PRC will send cert. of good standing.
when i applied for a registration in NBV, they didnt give me a request form, thus i was the one who rang PRC and told them if its possible if they can send the verification of initial registration,and they told me they can only send cert. of good standing if so happen that a request form is not provided.

Thanks Aelith for the clarification..=) Anyhow, I kinda knew that but I guess I just lumped it all up..
Btw, for instance if 456 visa is granted already to me for the part B challenge/clinical module, can my husband already come with me? I read in their immigration website that it is possible. However, has anyone already done this? If not, then how soon can the husband/wife join in Australia?

Oh I'm sorry. It was just stated that way in your previous reply so I thought you misunderstood it so I corrected it. My apologies.
As for your other concern, yes you can apply for a 456 visa with your husband and children too. Just fill up the form and complete all other requirements needed (e.g. health check ups). Granted that you have your employer right after your registration, you can also include in your application for a 457 visa your husband and other dependents. :)

Aelith thank you! Now my last worry is put to rest! thanks so much Aelith!
Hi Nursemavi or anyone else who can answer my question. I am doing my medicals this december. I have a friend working at st. Luke's Medical Center extension and she said that for a 456 short stay I need to forward my result to the embassy in Makati that would cost me Php 100 since it's just a short stay. I said, I will be working in and doing competence maybe in a hospital so I should do the full medical exam. She said, if you're a nurse and will be exposed then you have to do the full exam. I just don't know if I have to request the facility to send this to Canberra or to the embassy or maybe both. I would really appreciate your reponse on this. Thanks.
thanks so much Aelith!
