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.

Sorry for the butt in, You cannot apply for a working visa and this includes the PR type visa's and long term business without a current english test of standard, IELTS 7 or the OET. The PR visa tallk about 6 IELTS but if your profession has IELTS 7 then thats what you must produce to get any work rights visa.
Cheskaval121 is yet to be a Registered Nurse in Australia.
Regarding the work visa, when you talk about IELTS 7, it pertains to all bands or just the overall band score?
Hello grasyosa, I already received my medical request from the embassy and I'll have it done tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. Btw, I'm from Cebu. Where did you have your medicals and when did they forward the results to the embassy? Thanks.
Hi,for Cebu I believe we only have one option..I had mine taken at Nationwide..If you plan to have your medicals taken there, be there really early as they do first come first serve..They usually forward it 3-5 business days from the time you completed your tests..
hey cheskaval121! thanks for this rep =) but have you lodged yours personally thru the Via Center? coz if you did, don't they have like extra charge for the SDP fee? i read from the website that they'll charge you of that when you go to the Via Center. So aside from the 140 App fee for the 456 Visa, i'm assuming there's another fee? or do they really have this? and how about the courier fee? thanks a lot =)
oh my! i was given a document checklist but not like this!! im panicking. there are some documents listed here that i didnt include in my application. oh my...
hi! Don't worry. As long as you followed what is in the official checklist (from the embassy's website) then your safe. :)
I only have some idea of Australian immigration not New Zealand.
I do know that you will have to be assessed by the New Zealand nursing council before you can think about anything else.
The NZcouncil on its website was warning applicants that there is difficulties getting into their bridging (CAPS) programs before their assessment letters lapsed in the 12 months.
Nurses for NZ seem to g via Australia lately as once registered in Australia there is no CAPS program to do for NZ just an Tran Tasman application, though you would still need to be legally able to seek work and work there. You may need to google the NZ immigration.
