Hi, Joeybee, sounds familiar the confusional state your describing but it will pass rest assured. Firstly you need to get your nurse registraion approval from AHPRA, there is a process to work though and you will find lots of help on the official nurses thread. Once you have this then you can blitz potential employers with your CV. By all accounts it's harder to get a 457 now in the met areas less so in rural. Healthcare Recruitment Australia hold quite a few events in UK & Ireland recruiting for healthcare professionals for postions all over rural locations in Australia, DIAC reps attend these events too so you get lots of information about visa options. Google it and get yourself and oh along to an event. I've got 2 job offers on a 457 both within the aged care sector, one in a met area and the other in rural Victoria, just deciding which one is best. I tried lots of job ads on Seek but only got one respnse back. You will notice at the bottom of all the job ads the statement - You must have the right to live and work in Australia to apply for this position. Lots of nurses seemed to have applied directly hospitals with success, however that was no good for me because I don't have recent acute experience, mine is community. Good luck

I had the same problem and contacted AHPRA for advice. They told me to complete a Commonwealth of Australia, Statutory Declaration and have this notorised with my other documents. Had no problem when it was sent back. You get the form from the link below http://www.ag.gov.au/Statutorydeclarations/Pages/default.aspx You need to state the followingI declare I attended 5 years of full time secondary education programmes in the United Kingdom during the period ???? - ????. Education history: ????-???? School name Address line 1 Address line 2 Address line 3 County Postcode Education programme - 5 yr Standard Secondary Education Curriculum taught and assessed in English.

My experience has been excellent Posted my application 3.7.12 to AHPRA Adelaide Got an email from AHPRA saying application received and requesting additional information 2.8.12 Posted the additional information 14.8.12 Got my AHPRA Eligibility letter today via email. Minus 10 days for both sets of mail to get to AHPRA, total processing time for my application was 5 weeks I'm impressed with their efficiency. Just need a 457 job now in Melbourne, I'm not eligible for any other type of working visa. My only daughter, her husband and my 2 grandsons moving there in October, any advice on the job front would be welcome, lindinurse.

I already sent the instructions to Notary, I thought it indicated certifying each copy, there was no mention about attaching a notarial cetificate to each copy. Can you tell me exactly what yours did, sorry to keep asking only I want to get it right first time if possible, lindinurse

To those of you who have already had their documents certified can anyone clarify how these are done. The Public Notary I am using has asked me to get clarification on 'certifying documents' e.g. he is asking is the notarial certificate endorsed on the final page of the copy of the document rather than a separate notarial certificate being attached to each document? I thought it was the actual copy of the document but is that too simple? I have an appointment for certifying documents on the 27th June so don't hold much hope of getting clarification before then from AHPRA unless I can catch them 7 am UK time. lindinurse
