The College of Nursing did not ask for proof of my work experience.

Neither did I. So as Mhai mentioned I guess it really depends on the consul/case officer. I got mine last August 31.

Wow, this is the first time I've heard about the DIAC requiring IELTS even just for a 456 visa. DIAC did not ask for my IELTS but I remember I submitted a copy of my eligibility letter from AHPRA. Thanks for sharing this Mhai. At least others will be...

The College of Nursing in Burwood, NSW also accepts applicants without IELTS. For them the eligibility letter from AHPRA is proof enough that your English is acceptable. However you'll be needing a valid IELTS with no less than 7 in each category by ...

I'm sorry to hear that. I suggest you just follow your doctor's advice. Sorry too because to my knowledge, medical advice is prohibited in this forum. I'm not sure if your thyroid problem will affect the Embassy's medical exam. From what I remember, ...

Best person to ask is the coordinator of CON. I'm assuming she already sent you the confirmation letter and the list of additional documents that we have to show them on our 1st day. Good luck and see you soon!

I suggest you have your HepB titre checked again. If it's adequate then I guess you can skip the booster. Are you really in for the September 26 intake? Do you already have a visa? Regarding your MMR, I think having your IgG checked will cost more th...

To those who are already done with their BPs.. just wondering... were you required to submit essay-type assignments/homework? Reason I'm asking is I'm not sure I'll be able to bring my laptop when I leave. My relatives of course have desktops as well...

Well I'm not really sure if we NEED to but to be safe I renewed mine last month because it'll expire on October. Do not believe the girl! I got mine the same day! Be sure to ask for the application form for renewal with "Express" on it or something l...

I had Boostrix :) As to the side effects, sorry can't help you with that. I guess it's fine to have your DPT now but to be sure, just ask your doctor. I had the Boostrix shot about 3 weeks ago and just this afternoon I received my Hepa B booster. My ...

Hi doodz, I know I'm not sir joiemike hehehe but let me answer your question. There are 2 brands, Boostrix and Adacel. For pedia it's often called DPT but the one for adults I think are called DTap or TdaP. Please don't ask me what they stand for hah...

Hi there! So we'll be classmates?! I'm also in for CON's Sept. 26 intake. Regarding your questions, here's what I understand: 1. Yes, you need one dose (adult) of DPT. Either Boostrix or Adacel will do. 2. If you've had chickenpox before, a medical c...

Hey thanks for the reply isingrn! I'm not sure if you'll still be able to visit this thread tonight as I know you'll be extremely busy. Yes, that's what we should do, just let go and let God. I hope we'll be able to find work and not come back befor...

Why did you apply for a tourist visa anyway? If it's for the purpose of undergoing the BP before AHPRA's assessment then we're sorry to tell you that it's not the way things should be done. AHPRA usually takes minimum of 2 months to assess an applica...

Yes I bought the ticket a week before I got my visa. I booked a week before paying. Try Quantas. They did not ask for my visa. I know it's quite risky purchasing the ticket before having my visa but I knew in my heart that I'll be able to get my visa...

Were you also given a multiple travel 456? If yes, how do you think can we go about extending our stay for more than 90 days? I already bought a round-trip ticket way before I received my visa but it's okay coz I can always re-book the return for lat...

I'm so happy guys, I finally have my 456 visa, personally picked it up yesterday at the VIA Center. It doesn't have a 'No further stay' condition so I guess like isingrn I will also apply for a 676 once I use up my 90 days. But my question is, I was ...

i haven't met or heard of anyone from this thread who were given an eligibility letter and were approved to undergo bp without the required ielts score. others were able to bypass ielts but they provided certifications from their schools here in the ...

ahpra will most likely require the applicant to resit the ielts before they could go further in assessing the application. ielts is ahpra's requirement (as well as diac's, but that's for later). some schools don't even need to sight the ielts, like c...

Here's the list of accredited clinics/hospitals of the Australian Embassy: http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/overseas/p/philippines/panel-doctors.htm

@joiemike Sent you a PM, thanks.

Had mine at Nationwide Health Systems in Makati

I just also want to share this; good thing IDP allowed me to change/submit another proof of identification a couple of days before my speaking exam because I informed them that my passport was still with the Embassy at that time. When I lodged my app...

I have shared my experience a week ago I think. Anyway, I'll share it again. Yes, embassy advised me to change my application to a 456. Here's what happened: July 22 - I personally rang the CON's coordinator and asked what visa to apply for. Here are...

sorry you might be confused. just want to clarify, when i said 'how big' their house is, i only meant how many bedrooms etc. that's what my aunt did. her exact words were "we have a two-storey, xx bedroom house that can accommodate my niece and her f...
