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.

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding your application for Registration.
Your application was received on the 07/03/2012 and is currently being assessed by the Registrations Team. If there is any further information that the Registrations Team require from you, they will contact you directly.
Does this mean that they have started assessing it? They have not emailed me for further documents..
Yes . .they are assessing it already . .What state did you pass you application? . .. God bless. . .
I passed it in AHPRA-QLD.. Are they fast in finalizing applications? Thanks. :)
I have a friend who passed his application there and got his LOE after 3 months. . When did you pass your application? God bless. .The one who emailed you that information is your case officer.

Thanks! :) I passed it first week of March. I got an email stating receipt of documents a week after. :)
Vaccination requirement is a lot! They'll email you everything you need to accomplish when your offer has been paid.
Thanks for your reply doydoy. I know that it is a lot that's why I want to know earlier what are those vaccinations required so that I can work for it while waiting for my LOE since the competition in getting a slot at LTU is very tough.
In your case, the answer is yes but make sure that your prospective employer can sponsor you after your BP. Coming to Australia to do a BP without a guaranteed slot for employment will always be risky especially since sponsorships are becoming scarce. You do have the option of going back home and return to Australia because of your type of visa but would it be more costly though?
I think all nurses who went to Australia took the same risks unless there is an arranged employment before you go there. Does it take time to process a bridging visa so that you can extend?would you happen to know that?

Unfortunately there are some who are not aware of the risks they are taking, putting the family home or farm for a chance at an Australian dream. Sorry, not familiar with the type of visa you can apply for. I know of someone who had to apply for another course and apply for another student visa while here in Australia.
hi everyone, i am also aspiring to be an aus-rn. last april 19, 2012 i got my eligibility. i applied through ahpra victoria and was amazed at how quick i got email on my eligibility. it came sooner than my expected 4 to 6 months. i got mine after a month and two weeks. i suspect that it varies from one state to the next. maybe it helps that an applicant keeps on emailing and checking up on their progress because it seemed to have worked for me.
i could not read all of the posts here as apparently there are gazillions but one thing i noticed is that little has been mentioned about the interview that the school conducts on the applicants. i just got off from my phone interview from aaon (australian academy of nursing) so i thought maybe i could share my experience with you who may not be aware that there is such a thing.
first off the person on the other end confirmed my identity, introduced herself, and asked if i could spare ten minutes for the interview. it would be one of the longest ten minutes of my life. haha
then she asked me first about my professional experience so i started narrating it. she also asked me the nature of this job. was there a specialty? what are the common cases handled? things like that.
second question: what are my strengths and weaknesses?
third: difficulties that i have encountered and how i dealt with them.
fourth: how would i adjust to a new environment where there is a lot of multitasking involved, a lot of self-reliance (house chores, homework, research and study) is required, being a foreign country at that.
fifth: the number of applicants exceed the number of slots available. what is my edge against others and why should they choose me instead of them? (i really had to sell myself at this point.lol)
for some reason i could not remember if there was a 6th question or not. all i know is that the call ended and my heart was still beating like mad inside my chest. :redbeathe
hey theresaaiza. that is very good news. congratulations! may i ask how much experience you have?
Pm sent. my fbaccount is kinda restricted, but you can send me yours so i can add you up.ive sent you my email account. tnx
Hey tokiya. Here's my facebook name: Mac Tuazon Averilla. Add me up! I rarely use my email but i'd prolly leave you a message. I'll be keeping in touch! :)
