New grad Filipino nurse wanting to work in Australia/New Zealand Part 2

World Registration

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

hi im new here and ive been reading the posts since last week. i just have a question regarding the requirements for AHPRA approval. according to a certain recruitment agency here in the Philippines, AHPRA now accepts applicants with 2 YEARS WORKING EXPERIENCE. in my case, i have been out of the nursing field since 2010, but i was able to have almost 2 years of clinical experience, not to mention several months of training before that. do you think i can still apply for eligibility? also, when i read the criteria for registration, it says at least 3 mos experience in the last 5 yeras. im confused with what the agency told me. thank you and God bless!

Can somebody answer directly/provide the link that could answer how i could work/migrate as a nurse in Australia on your own? (processing without the aid of agencies like Phil-Man)

Thank you very much in advance! God bless everyone!

Hi guys, i hope someone can help me with my concerns. I know that AHPRA requires IELTS 7 in each band to be given an eligibilty letter so you can enroll to a BP school and then be a REGISTERED NURSE in Australia. That process has been stuck to my head for a long time. But for those Filipino nurses who cannot get an IELTS of 7 at this moment, are there any options for them to still go to Australia?

I am thinking of enrolling to a conversion program in Nursing so I can work part- time while studying (instead of doing nothing here and waiting for my fate in IELTS to turn around). For those who enrolled in a Bachelor of Nursing in Australia for a duration of 1 year or more, what happens after you graduate? Will that pathway be considered in AHPRA?

I just want to ask your opinion, I know that others might advice me to take IELTS again and again until I get the 7 but I am looking for options to actually be on australia, study and then try IELTS there, atleast I am doing something while taking up IELTS at the same time. Is enrolling to a Conversion Program for 1 year leads to being eligible to AHPRA registration too? I've heard that there are universities that accept international nurses with ielts below 7 that's why i'm considering this option. The tuition fee is not a problem and I will be living with my cousins in Australia. Can anyone enlighten me on what happens after enrolling to a conversion program? thanks

Yes you may still try for an AHPRA assessment of your credentials. It might prove to be helpful to you to add some training or at least any form of nursing related textbooks you might have read after 2010.

Should you decide to go through this pathway, you will be able to confirm with the course provider itself if their programme will satisfy the Nursing and Midwifery Board's condition that will ultimately lead to registration.

You can try deakin university. You can enroll with their credit prior learning program of bachelor in nursing leading to Division 1 nurse which is 1 year.Since you cant get 7 in all IELTS subtest you will need to enroll in their package course which is the DUELI or English for Academic Purpose for you to be able to qualify on the said course. But, keep in mind that after the course you will still need to get a rating of 7 in all subtest so you can register to Aphra.

Another school to consider is Flinder's and Curtin University for the conversion program.
