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.

Anyways, to those who had already sent their documents to AHPRA as well as their PRC Certificate of Good Standing and IELTS TRF. Any of you here has tried requesting for IELTS TRF by just sending it through a courier and attached a manager's check for the payment? Obtain a manager's check payable to IDP Education Pty. Ltd.
hi guys i have a few questions in regard to the application for general registration.
1. #6 "Is your residential address the same as your principal place of practice/employment in Australia?"i really dont know what to put in here since i am not yet in Australia. should i just live this blank?
2. am i correct if i put in Section C: Qualification for the profession
-BSN
-PNLE
-NCLEX
-IELTS
if not, what should i put in here? IVT? BLS? or just my BSN degree?
3. #16 secondary education taught and assessed in English to the requisite level for entry into a nursing or midwifery program?
the answer here is "NO" right? and use my IELTS result as my evidence? should i attached my highschool diploma?
4. #27 Visa or mastercard details
should i fill up the info needed? and AHPRA will just put in the details upon receiving my application? is it safe? how did you guys pay the fees?
in addition, did you guys use your green book and copy the necessary info for the clinical/procedural part of your CV?
also, in regard to section C: Qualification for the profession, which country should i put? Philippines since i took all of my examinations (NLE, NCLEX, IELTS, etc) here or the country in which the governing body is located, for example IELTS (USA), IDP (Australia), NLE (Philippines), etc.

Please read back on this page! I believe this was answered before!
got an email from NSW AHPRA and they said they are prioritizing australian nurses and that my school is assessed as being less than the standard of a bachelor degree from an Australian... that the board need to decide on my application because of this. that my school is assessed as AEI as a Section 3 university.
what dos this mean? does this mean my school is not qualified that is why the board needs to decide on my application? she said my application will also take a longer time because of their prioritizing their own graduates.
Did you apply after september 12....Ahpra brought in their rules then and are not going to abide by all the different state criteria.
I did warn on this forum that I had heard that Ahpra were actually going to look at the education and course and school that Fillipino nurses attend as do New Zealand nursing council. If you have passed your national exam and have experience, this is one thing in your favour. I feel for your dilemma but this is what it is coming too world wide. Its time the Phillipines did look at its nursing schools, you see Australia considers RN nurses as academics and are to be trained in a university or upper Tafe (there is only one course at a tafe that has been given the ok here). If your school is not a university/or calls itself a university and has no research and lecturers with no professional experience or researchers or very upper educational institution then this is where the trouble will begin.
yup i submitted my application 1st week october. i did take up nursing from a university here in cebu but i was on the pioneering batch of the nursing program for that school and yes, i would understand if they find my university underqualified or substandard. but does that mean another uhmm... 5 months wait perhaps before the board assessment?
that my school is assessed as AEI as a Section 3 university.
