New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

Published

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.

hi guys..

can i ask some help regarding certifying documents?because i let my photocopied docs notarized but no note of 'certified true copy of the original'.. do i need to bring it back to the lawyer and let him put in every page the phrase 'certified true copy of the original'??

help pls..urgent i'm about to send my docs tomorrow,..TIA

Yes, it is better to ensure first that you are sending properly certified documents to prevent undue delay in the assessment of your application. Even the slightest of inconsistencies can cause delay coz they really are strict especially in Vic. So review your documents before sending. Goodluck!

"sa Ayala..." Probably just a typo, right? LOL Do you think the stamping thingie will be quick? Like, less than a day? The soonest I would be able to go to VIA would be around the end of October.

Alright, I'll wait for your call. Might just call you later myself to talk about those tickets. I wasn't able to answer last night as I left my phone at home. Sorry...

They said that you will be leaving your passport with them for the stamping then they will give it back 1 week after with the stamp and all. :)

I don't know if this has been asked before... and I just want to confirm if I can do my bridging program other than the state that approved my application. For example, I plan to apply BP to schools in Victoria while APHRA-Western Australia issued my eligibility letter.

Thanks in advance...

Hi medouble, to avoid any delay in the processing of your application, it would be best if there will be an annotation that your document is certified true copy of the original. Kindly read the guidelines below for more details. :-)

Good luck! :-)

http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Registration/Registration-Process/Certifying-Documents.aspx

What do the above authorised officers need to do to certify your documents?

An Authorised Officer should do the following in the presence of the applicant:

*Certify that each document is a true copy of the original.

*Certify that the photograph on photographic documentation (e.g. licence or passport) is a true likeness of the applicant.

*Witness the signature of the applicant.

Certified documents must:

*Be initialed on every page by the Authorised Officer.

*Annotated on the last page as appropriate e.g.

"I have sighted the original document and certify this to be a true copy of the original" and signed by the Authorised Officer.

*List the name, date of certification, and contact phone number and position number (if relevant) and have the stamp or seal of the Authorised Officer (if relevant) applied

I had my lawyer write down his number on the certified documents by pen with his "neat" handwriting. Also, the first lawyer who certified my documents didn't have a "Notary Public" under her name. She worked at the Regional Trial Court here, was said to be the one authorized to notarize documents in the department, and was cheaper since she is a government employee. Thought I got a bargain... A friend who applied in Perth got through with her set of certified papers by that lawyer. I, however, had to look for another lawyer as AHPRA-QLD didn't accept it and asked for another set.
