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.
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency AHPRA
Office Address/Bourke Street = FedEx / DHL / snail mail
PO Box = Snail mail only
If you'll opt to send via courier nobody will "receive" the documents in a PO Box. :)
Oh my! I sent my parcel via the GPO address :eek: i tracked it online and it says that it has been received and signed.. was it sent to AHPRA already? :crying2: now i'm worried

The courier probably knew the office address and delivered it there instead. Call AHPRA and confirm if they have indeed received your documents.
I think this happened to another member who posted earlier that even though he indicated the PO Box address the courier sent it to the office address.
hi.. im a newbie here.. i am currently waiting for my eligibilty for my bp and I need suggestions from you guys regarding in which University to enroll.. I want to take it in Melbourne but I heard rumors that one of the bp students who took the bp in one of the universities in Melbourne has been dropped-out and was called incompetent.. For those who have taken the bp, is this really hard to pass?? I am quite scared because my experience is only from a secondary hosp and I never had an ICU experience.. What school would you recommend that you think is quite easier or even cheaper??? As much as possible I don't want to be negative but it is 10-12k AUD and if I fail the bp I'll be dead!!!!
Specializes in Acute Care. ER. Aged Care/LTC. Psyche.
thanks sweet_tooth :) i will give AHPRA a ring tomorrow about that. I do hope that my papers are in good hands
I did the same thing: I sent ALL the documents to their GPO address. US Postal Service and FedEx rerouted the mail to the office address. So I guess it really doesn't matter where you send it. Although sending it to the GPO address may have delayed my application just by a day because they have to wait til next day to resend the documents.

You are correct. You should use the office address and not P.O. box if you are sending your documents through courier like fed ex, dhl, 2go, lbc, etc.
