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

World Registration

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.

Part 1 thread New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand - Nursing for Nurses

Hey, im also for may intake. Supposed to be for january though. I asked idps assistance for everything. I plan to lodge my visa with their help too. Is it possible to stay for 6 months with student visa? I haven't thought of that. I already paid everything with oshc single for four months. O.o

Oh so I can just ask IDP for assistance. I think I will do that too.

I've read somewhere (immi website i think) that the allowed length of stay in australia for student visas is dependent on the OSHC. I'll try to look for that info...

I just got my offer letter from La Trobe for the May 2012 intake. What should I do next? They told me that I should send the following to La Trobe International:

1. completed and signed offer acceptance form

2. payment for the required deposit as set out in your letter of offer

3. a copy of your pre-visa assessment (PVA) where applicable

I researched regarding student visas. So the visa that I need to apply for is the Non-Award Sector: Temporary Visa (Subclass 575) - Assessment Level 1. So since it's Assessment Level 1, I don't need the pre-visa assessment. And I just have to pay the required deposit right away?

To anyone who applied for the student visa, please tell me if I got the info right. Because I plan to pay the tuition this week...

To anyone who got in to La Trobe and are for the January intake, I'm asking for some assistance on what steps I should take. How long does the student visa 575 allow me to stay in australia? This was written in my offer letter. This amount was added to the tuition fee

Visa Length OSHC - Single 4 months $140.00

So if I avail of the 4 months OSHC, then my visa would probably allow me to stay for just 4 months? So should I get a longer OSHC coverage, like for 6 months perhaps?

I have just been researching for the last couple of hours since I got my offer letter. Now I'm just plain confused :confused:

Please help :(:(

If that will be the case, how would we tell ltu to give us longer oshc cover? If we can have 6 months stay, that would be blessing. I am with idp makati.

Health and Character Documents (checklist):

Evidence that you have OSHC for the duration of your visa. Your visa expiry date will be determined by the expiry date of your OSHC.

I paid it thru telegraphic transfer.

the CON will give you their bank details then when you are ready to pay, just go to BDO and they already know what to do. :up:

Thanks! :) I just made my transaction today. May I ask if they sent you an offer letter already? :)

They won't, instead they will send you a visa support letter for you to be able to apply for a visa. We have to complete all the requirements by dec.16 for them to put forward our application for the january intake.

chilbrat, is there any immunization card that we need to download online?

or the checklist together with the evdience will do?

im really confuse with this immunization requirement

None, I think. We just have to send the checklist together with all the evidence. Are you done with it?

the way i understand your post, for as long as we complete our requirements before december 16, then we will be included in next year's earliest intake?

in regard to the immunization requirement, im still working on it
