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

Hi,
You might want to visit the website of AHPRA for more details or if you're that patient enough, which you will also need to do once submitted your documents, reading previous discussions will be a great help as well, in fact I did the same thing when I was still at lost on what to do plus the AHPRA website of course.
When I started reading from page 1, I think last page back then was still at 600.. It's not yet too late to start reading now.
You'll be amazed on the important points, reminders,and tips that you're gonna get as you read.

Hello. to those who applied with AHPRA VIC, how many days or weeks do they usually notify an applicant when the received the documents? I sent mine last June 30 but they haven't confirmed receipt of my documents. Thank you
[hi there, usually Ahpra send an email upon receiving your application, so just give it a week or so then if no emails in 2 weeks you may lodge in a service request in ahpra website./QUOTE]

Hi everyone!

Im registered nurse since 2009 and had my clinical experience till jan 2011. But my father who was in Perth and luckily got his Permanent Residency. Because of that and right away, We applied for our Family visa my Mom for her spouse visa attached with Us as their children. Btw, I'm already 23y/o but since then, according to the australian immigration they allowed until 25y/o with met requirements. like I'm still dependent child with my father, still studying full time for my 18units needed for teaching and not engaging to any paid work. I'm still praying,hoping and cross-fingered to grant our visa. We lodged our application last april 16, 2012. Moreover, its beneficial if you are Permanent resident holder. So I pursued and grab this opportunity even if I waited for so long. If i got my visa, Im planning to study a Conversion Program in Perth that need to take for 1year and enable to be an Aus RN.

Does anyone here who has the same situation like me? Who waited for their parent sponsor in Australia as immigrant?

Because i want to know if their someone here like me waiting in vain just to be grant her dream VISA

If you are hoping for cheaper university fees as a pr and payment from centrelink - there is a waiting period of 2 years- from the date of lodgment of pr visa,, before you can apply. You will still need to pass IELTS as well to become a Registered nurse in Australia.

Good luck with your application, according to DIAC family visa's are capped and there is a waiting list.

hi! I emailed ETEA about this and this was their reply:

Hi XXXXX,

We got the 5 year accreditation approval and are waiting on the documentation shortly. Currently there is a letter from ANMAC until September 30th.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

That is good news,

Indeed :)

Called ANMAC last monday the lady from the accreditation department also told me that there would be a board meeting regarding accreditation matters today (Wednesday). But the results will be posted after approximately 6 weeks.

if you have at least 3 yes exp you can try mercy health but there's no assurance that they'll interiew you since they continue to receive applications until their deadline which is i think aug 3. all the applications will be assessed by then.

Hello! Does anyone here already received their loe after passing the additional requiremnts asked by ahpra last may? thanks

@ AILA 61

Hi Aila. are you going to ETEA or IHNA? I've read from here that you both passed the interview from IHNA and ETEA so which BP provider are you going to choose?
