Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.
Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

angel_kat, who can be under assessment level 3 or 4?
Please read this PDF file that can be found in the DIAC website :http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/assessment-levels.pdf and you can use the visa wizard to find out what student visa sub-category you are to apply..
one of the item is pro-rata, i reckon it's the annual renewal fee, thus, it may be lesser.. you will only know the final amount once the collect it from you.. but for budget purposes, think of 450 AUD...

Angel, are you getting the student visa for the Bridging Course? You aren't keen on getting the 456 or 676?
:-) lucky bloke you have.. me in NSW rural... another we are 2 filipino RNs in our nursing home now, 1 more is coming soon, family is getting bigger, but will later go smaller when we start transferring..
i reckon your uncle is not aware of the 3 month BP.. if you cant convince him, tell me, i'l show you how..
cheers!
Oh, I was also told that you have higher chances of getting hired if you are willing to be assigned in rural areas.. Just a tip to those who aren't picky about placements..
Really!? Gee, thanks! I'll tell you as soon as I receive word from him, my Aunt told me that he's busy with something..
Any fellow pinoy/pinay nurse here who paid the fees to AHPRA via cheque or money order??
Just want to ask if I can just go to any bank here in the Philippines where I have an account and ask for a cheque payable to AHPRA or there is a CERTAIN BANK like (ANZ) where I need to obtain the cheque??? And how about the money order?
Sorry I really don't have any idea and one more thing I got no credit card =(
No, I don't want the business visa 456.. And I am also planning to apply to a CRICOS registered institution which allows me to get the student visa..
Have you read my previous post regarding business visa 456 and student visa 575? Did you read each visa and compared their differences?
Yes i did read your previous post. Just that I didn't know you planned to apply to a CRICOS registered institution. I was originally opting for the student visa on the 1-year nursing conversion program since I got accepted by Murdoch University but since I also got my eligibility for College of Nursing in NSW then I decided to take the 8-weeks course instead.
Just for the information of all those who are new to this thread, there is a lengthy discussion on 456 vs. 676 in part 1 of this thread, it starts at https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/new-grad-filipino-287930-page526.html onwards. Hope this can help the rest too (thanks to mikyong, JavRN most especially and the old forumers for the very informative discussion there) :)
Hi cerid, did you already pay the $525 to the college of nursing when you submitted your application form? I should pay this amount first right? Then the rest of the balance I need to pay before commencement? Thanks in advance :)

Yup that's my plan, but I'm afraid that I might not make it in time to enroll because application closes this September2011.. So if ever I don't then change of plans and I might end up getting the 456..
Newsflash - NSO documents for Australian visa applications
13 January 2010 - A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Visa Office of the Australian Embassy Manila and the National Statistics Office (NSO) in relation to streamlining the process of requesting NSO documents for applicants of an Australian visa.
The MoU relates only to those applicants who will lodge applications at the Visa Office in Manila. It will not apply to those submitting their applications directly to a Processing Centres in Australia or to other Posts.
The new process requires visa applicants to lodge their application for NSO documents online or by calling their helpline Call Centre. Once the NSO has facilitated the request, the documents will be couriered directly to the Australian Embassy and be matched to their visa application. Detailed instructions on how to lodge an application for NSO documents can be downloaded here. See: NSO Document Application.
Visa applicants need to provide information along with their application as evidence that they have requested/ordered their documents either by providing a copy of their online confirmation or by writing their transaction reference number beside the required NSO document on the Application Document Checklist.
There would be a transitional period until 04 April 2011 after this period, the Visa Office will only accept NSO documents via this process and will not consider NSO documents submitted directly by clients in relation to their visa application lodged in Manila.
So if ever I don't then change of plans and I might end up getting the 456..
