Hey sendmethere.

I also received my LOE just now! Thank God! It took 3 weeks and 3 days from sending my documents to receiving my LOE. I'm so thankful!

I'm also looking for a school in Vic. :)

=============

Nice mbtaRN.

I'll just post here if ever I have a school already.

Hi zoe.ysobel

Actually I don't have a school yet or plans as of yet. I will browse on Sunday maybe.

Just pray and for sure you'll get it.

Do you have any recommendations with regard to BP providers?

sendmethere,

i guess you can start applying to schools asap then decide who gives you a go first. schools are filling so fast so better hurry hehe...you can go to ahpra website and they have the list there.

Hey chelseaxyrene.

Here's my timeline:

July 9, Monday: Sent my IELTS results via IDP Manila

July 10, Tuesday: Sent my application together with the certified documents

July 12, Thursday: I tracked my package online and it has just reached AHPRA VIC

July 13, Friday: Went to PRC and have them send a copy of my Certificate of Good Standing

July 16, Monday: Certificate of Good Standing arrives at AHPRA VIC

July 18, Wednesday: AHPRA emailed me confirming me that they already have received my documents and would notify me if I still had anything lacking

I haven't heard from AHPRA since then. Hopefully, I get to receive my LOE next week based on what other people here have gone through with AHPRA VIC.

What about you? What's your timeline? And what documents were missing?

congrats mbtaRN!

you are lucky you did not have to wait so long...now i am really thinking of transferring my documents to VIC huhuhu...i just sent mine last week though...

[zoe.ysobel]

yeah.. ianina is right. mine was in WA and it was kinda slow. it took 3-4 months. i also have a friend who applied for Victoria and it only took her a month.

hi khlei87,

i would like to ask the validity of the eligibility letter that was issued to you from ahpra-WA? is it 2 years or 1 year?

thanks.

Thank you zoe.ysobel! Yeah you should've sent your documents to AHPRA VIC. They really processed mine fast. You just sent your documents last week? Hmmm. I'm not telling you it's a good idea to transfer your documents cause it might cause a bit more delay but if you have that gut feeling of transferring it then you should. Hahaha. I wish you the best!

oh okay, i thought yours came from WA too. i heard they used to give 2-year validity, guess they decide to change their policies. thanks:)

[chelseaxyrene]

I'm still waiting for my LOE from AHPRA VIC. Before AHPRA WA gives 2 years validity for LOE. But nowadays, I think they changed their policy.

Hi mbtaRN. Kudos to you!

I just checked my email and found out that APHRA Vic already sent my LOE since 27th of July. I did not notice it since it was directed to my junk email. I lodged my application last 29th of June.

I'm eyeing Deakin University. How about you?

Um I have yet to know where i'm going to study. Hahaha. But Deakin's one of the schools that I have in mind. :) PM me your email address! I'll add you up in Facebook. It's more convenient to talk there :)
