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.

I'm almost sure that vitamins are a NO. Over the counter meds like Paracetamol, I think you can bring a few. Other meds you'll need a prescription. I never bring items with milk like 'polvoron' or ice cream - you can buy them at Manila airport but can't be taken in anywhere in Australia. Should not bring items made from plants like bracelets made of seeds, etc. They will not open your laptop. They will ask you to take them out of your bag before it goes through the X-ray though. Make sure to be honest with your customs declaration. If not sure tick yes, so you won't get in trouble when you get to customs.

Thanks. I guess I wont bring my fern-C anymore.

Is it free to declare? I mean do we need to pay for something in each item we declare. Sorry, im such a noob. :))

For the laptop, I am not sure if my microsoft office is legit or not. hehe. Is that ok?

Every passenger arriving in Australia is required to complete a customs declaration. Review this form.http://customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/15engIPC1110_sample.pdf

They will only touch your laptop if it looks like you have hidden something in it, they will know this because everything, luggage, handluggage goes past sniffer/drug dogs, either in the airport terminal or out in the baggage area.

The dogs pick up food and drugs.(illegal)

They could not care less if your windows microsoft or any program is pirated.

Hi, Guys. Is it acceptable or what is the possibility for me to be granted a student visa if in case Ill enroll in Einstein College for English Occupational Preparational Course? I am having a hard time meeting the rate for writing subtest via Ielts. Would this be okay? After the course and OET exam I plan to enroll in a bridging course. Please help me with this. I badly need your assistance guys.
Anybody, who can give me sound advice about my plan? Experts, i need your help! Thanks!

Attention ceridwyn: help please. What do you think about me taking the OET prep course via Einstein College then sit for the exam and hopefully pass it and after satisfying the Aphra requirement do the Bridging Program. Is it okay? Please please help!

Poor plan. Read entries from 2011 on this thread. IELTS or OET is just one of the requirements.

I get it now. Depends on your circumstances. Why do you want to take OET in Australia? You can't just 'enrol' for a BP. You need to be assessed by AHPRA as eligible to take a BP (LOE).

Hi!

To all those who had traveled to Aus,

Is it okay to bring multivitamins (100pcs fern c), biogesic, sinecod, decolgen?

I also have my nasotap (nose spray) in case my nostrils will clog due to colds and cause me a headache?

Can I bring these?

Thanks! :)

Check what you can or can't take in by looking at the government custom website

Im still here in Phil. I think that it will be much easier for me to pass the OET with proper training and preparation. Im having a hard time in writing subtest. I inquired thru IDP and was able to learn that there some schools who offers BP without eligibility from AHPRA. But I will still have to submit all the necessary requirements to APHRA for registration after I finish my course.
