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.

hi candy_14!

just go to ahpra website and make an inquiry.. :) expect the reply in 1-2 days.. i explained my eligibilty status and the letter of offer.. eligibilty expires on oct 2012, while bp starts on january 2013.. that's why i badly need the extension. have you already paid your tuition to CON? what happened to your visa? in order for you to be granted an extension, you need to send your letter of offer too. :) good luck to us both :)

thanks i'll contact AHPRA.

Yes, i have already paid CON, my visa arrived late and was not able to make the deadline of CON, so i have been wait listed for the September course. :)

Hi, to whom in AHPRA did yo request for an extension? and how did you go about asking for it? I was supposed to go to CON for July intake but was not able to due to visa problems. my letter will expire in September and still don have a confirmation on the next course.

Hope you get an extension. :)

hello! how long have you waited for your visa? it feels like forever waiting in vain :(

It's been a long wait for me as well. I lodged my application on May 23, received request for medical after 2 weeks. finally received my visa last July 11.

Where are you enrolled?

i was also advised that my medical results would be sent to aus when i asked for an update. but i am not sure if this is normal for everyone.

it usually just takes a month so i was not sure what the delay was for. i had my medicals at st. lukes.
