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.

Hello, your requirements from your visa application seems to be a new one..As far as i know in the form 456 visa, there is no requirement for the applicant to present IELTS result. You are already enrolled in IHNA. Why is it you need to present IELTS result? As you noticed in the Form 456 visa application. Look at the checklist, there's no requirement for the IELTS>. Did you ask your visa officer? who is asking you about your IELTS? ...just to clarify your statement in your post. thanks....
It is the visa officer who asked for my IELTS result since its not required according to the checklist...
anyone who is with the same boat like me for ETEA october 2012 intake? please leave a comment.. or anyone of you who already enrolled for ETEA's intake this year.. thanks........ please leave a comment...
Which one is the more convenient/faster place for the medicals? st lukes or nationwide health systems? I need to have the exams done asap... is everything done electronically already? do I still have to bring the printed medical application for and x-ray form?

Hi there! Do you already have any experience? I'm still trying to build my credentials since I currently have none at the moment.
I don't have experience also, and right now I'm still working for my IELTS. I'm planning to go at Curtin University. I have read one of the posts here that you can directly apply to the university if you want to enroll in nursing graduate entry. It would be 3 years but we can apply for prior learning exemption for credits, thus, it would only take us 1.5 to 2 years to study. It's expensive though. I opt to choose this (and not the conversion course) because after we graduate, we can already apply for PR.
providing documents.. to facilitate further processing of visa, please provide the following:
ielts trf
medical examination
**** how much do i have to pay for the medicals?
no need for schedules right? walk-in lang siya?
after medicals, how long before if i have been granted the visa already?***
****** i got accepted for the bp august intake at inha.. the school is already asking me for visa updates.*****
kaya i have no choice but to submit the ielts with the 6.5 result.
thanks!!
patringrn please use only english cos it is unfair for native english speakers if we use tagalog language here. remember, they have built this site to help us in connection with their concern for all nurses with their needs and to empower them with knowledge.
so what campus are you in??? im also for ihna on august.
don't worry about ihna asking for visa cos you are already halfway in your visa processing and ihna said this in a letter in one of their latest emails:
please be aware that 2 weeks prior to the course commencement, it is important for you to inform the college regarding :
visa status and arrival date
any change in contact details
i am still about to send my visa documents hehehe :) i hope it will pass their requirements and i will get my visa on time but i will have to hurry now. :)
i think your message from them is already an advice for medicals. take your letter to the medical center approve by the australian embassy in your region or city and let them see your letter cos they will tell you to start it or not. btw i don't know where you are from so try to look up the philippine australian embassy website for accredited centers.
my friends told me the medicals is about 5-6k pesos in davao. so they asked me to bring about 6k. i don't know how much it is in your area and how long it is but it should be around that amount or a little bit more so bring 7-7.5k to have extra cash with you.
i don't know about the ielts requirement too cos it means i have no choice but to submit mine also.

To apply for a pr visa you need to have done a 2 year course, now. This is all changing in July. Even though you are a nurse you will still need to apply for an employer for sponsorship or sponsored through rural visa. Otherwise after your study you put in an expression of interest for the pr visa and wait for an invitation to apply.
anyone there who could help about the medical? What are the things to be checked for medical> I mean, xray? what else? Please give us information about this.. thanks............
