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 think some forumers here opted to have their visa processed online? is there really such a thing? i haven't checked the site for confirmation.

will the embassy email you your HAP ID? aside from the Hap id, what else do we need to bring to the medicals? and did you go to makati or the one in ermita? :)

Oh! I was confused at that as well. Anyway, I think they only have two ways in lodging visa: personally thru VIA and courier.

If you decided thru courier (like me since I live in Mindanao), you need to call the embassy first and they will have someone from Air21 pick your documents from your home. :)

I went to Cebu for my medicals.

You will need:

4 pcs. picture passport siza, recent photo within 6 months (not smiling, not showing teeth)

2 copies of passport (photocopy)

Form 160 and Form 26 (Downloadable)

Valid National ID and photocopy of National ID

Medical records if available

Medical fee (Mine amounted to Php 4,300.00, a forumer here who had her medicals in MNL amounted to 5,300)

Form 160

Form 26

P.S. No fasting needed, drink lots of water, avoid sweets :)

Hello glitzdelight!

How did you get the go signal for your medical exam? I'm really worried because I still haven't received a call for the medical exam of my visa application. I lodged mine last April 24 and 2 days later they acknowledged through text that they had received my documents. Did you call them or you waited for their call? Thank you. :(

Hi dashe. I waited for their e-mail. Aww. I wonder what's taking them so long. What if you try to call them if you still dont receive any email this week?

You are a star Glitzdelight! :) thanks alot!

Thanks so much for the reply glitzdelight. I'm really worried about this since I will have my bridging course this month. Definitely I'll call them if I won't receive any feedback this week. I hope I will make it on time. :bluecry1: Btw, when will be your class?

I need to present my visa during the start of the class. I'm really praying that things will be fine and I'll have my visa as soon as possible. Thank you so much for the info glitzdelight.

hi aila, do send me your email. i have scanned my cert of employment which you may use as basis.

hi there can i also have a look of your coe? i think isent the wrong format because ahpra sent me something liek this too, though i already sent my coe :)

Hi! I would like to ask you if this bank statement for your show money under your name or your cousin's? thanks.

It's under my name. :)

thanks chillbrat, but what if i can't get a letter from my school, because im done with my bp since december?, also would a personal appearance at the embassy be needed?

That I don't know. In my case, since the office is just within nsw, I directly applied for my visa.
