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.

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

i downloaded their application form from their website. fill it up and scan them and send back to their email address for general inquiries

How did you pay for the application fee at ETEA? :)

@ Noelle18

i have been offered a place at UniSA.. it's a 4 month bridging program... so i need to get a feedback from the embassy first before the medicals? :)

I sent my application via email only.

hi there..

I need help...

I am desperately looking for bp centers to take the IRON course..

Somebody here who already got slot for ETEA and CON and did their application process all by themselves?

Can someboy please teach me how and guide me with all the necessary steps to take?

Pleeeeeaaaassssseeee?

Thank you so much.

IHNA seem to have online application form and only require an IELTS of 6.5 if you have the much beloved eligibility letter, but require 2 years experience, worth a try though if you do not have the 2 years experience. Good instructions on how to apply.

hi there!

it really depends if the accredited place for medicals nearest you is already using eHealth in submitting the application. check this site:

Philippines - Panel Doctors.

(look for the eHealth logo)

i regretted not doing the medicals prior to the lodgement of my application since the accredited agency for medicals in our area is not applying eHealth yet in their processing that resulted to the delay of my visa. I assumed that I will wait for their go signal to do my medicals. But i realized that it is only applied for those who undergo their medicals in an ehealth agency. that is just based on my experience. i do not know with the other applicants.

How did you pay for the application fee at ETEA? :)

I paid through bank transfer

hi all! i am new here and i have been following this thread for some time now. so much information on here that have been very helpful in the whole process of getting to Australia via BP path. I am curious re: the RN's w/ little or no nursing experience who have tried for the BP - were there any difficulties along the way, especially with looking for a uni for the BP? I would appreciate any feedback.TIA! =)

Yeah, that's what I heard. A friend of mine waited for a go signal from the embassy so she could do her medicals. But, try confirming it with the embassy. :)

I heard that with regards to visa application and medicals, it's the embassy's new rule (just last december) to lodge your application first, before you can do your medicals. I think you have to wait for a request coming from them that you have to do the medical exam. I'm not so sure though :)

Oh is that the new rule? Sorry I am not updated.. You can try inquiring at the accredited clinics or panel doctors because they can better address your concern. Good luck.

Hey guys, has anyone tried submitting an application at Mercy Health? Any feedbacks? :)

Specializes in icu.

hey friend im for CON too.. i already paid and there is 3-4 days before they release the receipt. unfortunately.. im short of 9 dollars so i have pay awhile ago.. its because of fluctuations of currency rate. hope this helps

I applied to Mercy Health and they said they will just contact me after assessing my application. I hope I will get in.
