Sad news for those gunning to do their BP at CON. I'm currently undergoing my BP at CON, and I was talking with the coordinators last week and they said that they really have a high backlog of applications possibly till the end of next year. As of the moment they have more than 300 applicants already but they would be increasing the number of intakes to 6 next year.

hi, anyone for the September intake of CON?

hi, i also have a problem with my eligibility letter. I read in the other posts that you were applying to CON, did yo apply to AHPRA NSW by any chance? how did you go about asking for an extension and how do we contact them without going thru snail mail? TIA

I emailed them through the email they used when the request for medicals was made. It also states in that letter whom your case officer is. :)

Hi, I lodged my visa on May 23, received the email from the embassy for medicals on June 8, did my medicals on June 10. I was not able to ask St. Luke's when was my results forwarded to ehealth. I followed up on the status of my visa on June 25 via email, they replied after 2 days in forming me that my medicals were being processed in AUS. Finally revived my visa on July 11.

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.

I hope so, Hope to get in CON's sept intake also :)

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?

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. :)

i presented my original passport when i applied for the visa, but was returned to me right after.

for those already in Australia and used a 456 visa, can i book a plane ticket one way? or should i have a return flight? tnx

hi, congrats!!! how long did it take for your visa to arrive after the medicals, i'm really anxious because i just finished my medicals and i'm supposed to leave by july. TIA

hi leey86, I'm still not done with my visa processing, do you already have a place to stay? I tried to send you a PM, but your inbox is full :)

i lodged my 456 2 weeks ago, they only took the certified true copies of all my docs. although i did have the original passport on hand and they did look for it but returned it afterwards.
