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

[Silverdragon102]

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! i'd like to ask regarding my application status to AHPRA for the bridging course. I've sent my complete docs last May 2, 2011 but up until now, I still got no reply. Does it really take that long to wait for AHPRA's reply? and the worst part is, my IELTS expired last July. what should I do? are there any other alternatives so I could get an eligibility in a faster way? please help.. thanks.. :)

i am thinking of reapplying to Perth since my previous application was lodged in Melbourne. do you know any agencies that could help me out, or is it better if i do it alone? thanks.. :)

Hi, what do you mean by pca job and SOL?

Hello, sorry for the late reply. The email address on their website was the one I used when I asked about their IRON program few months back. Then one of their staff replied, it is her e-mail address that I've been using to send my documents and clarify some things. I suggest that you contact them ASAP as the slots for bp program is being filled so fast. Hope this helps.

Hi! sorry can't reply to your pm, got limited posts. CON said to pay full fees and submit vaccination records. They did not tell me that the docs I've sent them are ok or not..The person I am in contact with through email did not mention anything about slots whether it is conditional or not. I plan to call them just to be cautious.

Hi there, I paid them already since I was quite sure that I have the right contact person. The person I've been in touch with was the same person passed to me when I called their number listed in their website. I also asked her about assurance for my January intake and she said that once you have already paid the full course fee, with vaccinations and with visa before dec.16 then you are in for their January intake. Now, I'm going crazy completing my vaccinations. Sigh!

[chilbrat_1824]

Hi 14162S001! Regarding the assurance, you can only get that once you have complete documents by Dec.16, that's what the coordinator told me when I gave them a ring. You have to pay the full course fee and once the payment has been posted they will give you a visa support letter for you to be able to apply for a visa, you also have to comply with the immunization thingy before the census date for you to be really become part of the January intake. I made my own timetable, I already paid the fee and now waiting for the payment to get through so I can go ahead and request for the visa support letter while I'm also completing the vaccinations needed. God willing, I'll be able to comply with everything before the due date. Hope I was able to help you.

Thank you very much for the reply! I really appreciate it a lot :):):)... Actually I've sent them already my documents together with the completed vaccination requirements and what's left for me to do is pay the tuition fee.

I want to ring them first but the number of the coordinator I'm calling is out of reach... If you don't mind, can you send me via PM the number of the coordinator you contacted?

Thanks a lot! :)
