Hey mate! So long story short. I applied Sept 2017 and received a "no" from AHPRA in Jan 2018 .. because I had a RPN diploma. I then submitted further evidence and they approved me May 2018. I arrived in Aus and was fully registered August 2018. I then started working as an agency nurse... did it for a few months and completely hated it LOL. I gave up my license and haven't looked back ?. Cheers, Mitch

Hey there! I'd be interested in chatting. I am in Australia :) Mitch

Hey there! I'm currently awaiting word from AHPRA on whether or not I can work in Oz. I'm a Canadian Registered Psychiatric Nurse not an RN. I know your post is a few years old but I'd love to hear an update on what your outcome was. All the best, Mitch

To all Canadian Registered Psychiatric Nurses looking to move to Australia or have successfully moved and now working in Australia. Please let me know the hurdles you've experienced with AHPRA and any hurdles finding work. I have completed the application to AHPRA; AHPRA is now just waiting on the school I attended to send them documents. I am 29 years old so I have one year left for a working visa. There is also an option to do a sponsorship visa which is approx $4,000.00 but I'm unsure how difficult or doable it is to be sponsored prior to showing up in Australia. I also have around $30,000.00 saved up to make the transition easier and to not be too worried about finances when I first get there. Anybody out there experiencing or has experienced what I am going through? Thank you for your time.
