Hi Aims, it has been my experience that employers will not consider your application until you have AHPRA registration. There is competition for child & family health nurse jobs & you may well have to consider moving to a rural area for work. Some states also want you to have a midwifery qualification (sorry can't remember offhand which ones).

Very helpful info Nikki, thank you.

Ahpra how to prove your degree is accredited?
bigmac replied to pinknurse83's topic in Careers and Vacancies
You're not wrong. AHPRA was by far the worst part of the whole process for me :wacko: -
Ahpra how to prove your degree is accredited?
bigmac replied to pinknurse83's topic in Careers and Vacancies
From what I can remember there was a link on AHPRA's webpage, the one on meeting the criteria & what the criteria are. The link was to a form that the NMC signed to say your course was accredited. Don't know if that's changed though. -
Can a UK Diploma trained nurse register with AHPRA?
bigmac replied to flipflop00's topic in Careers and Vacancies
I wish I could offer some hope Megs but unfortunately diploma nurses on this site have been having rego refused. I know this is very unfair & Australia are losing out on highly experienced nurses. I wish you luck & greatly sympathise with your situation especially since you have lost a job over this. Employers clearly see the positive contribution UK nurses can make. It's highly disappointing AHPRA see differently. -
Congratulations Toongirl that's brilliant news x

Hi Petal. I had an email at the beginning of March saying they'd received my application. Approx 4 weeks later I was asked to supply another verification from the NMC. At the end of April I emailed to ask if they'd received this & was told at this point that my application had been forwarded for assessment of my qualification. I didn't have any other correspondence until my email on 11 July saying my application was approved. Although I've 12 months to attend an AHPRA office to prove my identity, if it's more than 6 months I've to also supply further proof of my current nursing registration with the NMC. I have been lucky that I certainly didn't have to wait 9 months for an outcome x

I have been lucky enough to get the golden email today with my letter of eligibility from AHPRA. My background is having a BA Nursing Studies & BSc Hons Specialist Community Public Health Nursing. However, after 20+ years of nursing alongside colleagues who's training ranged from the old modular training through to masters level I am deeply saddened that highly trained, highly experienced, dedicated & intuitive nurses are not perceived to be 'good enough'. I will continue to support everyone on here & it's from the bottom of my heart that I hope you are all successful in knocking down & destroying the large barrier AHPRA have erected on your path to Oz xx

Congratulations. It's nice to hear someone getting some good news on this thread x

I'm really sorry to hear your news abbilouiseslatter. My thoughts are the same as the others though, that if it's your dream then you have to plough on & jump through this new hoop if it's nursing you want to continue with & not give up. I realise it is easier said than done though & I really hope you end up where you want to be.

Thanks for this Lilmiss. It's good to hear there is movement. Hopefully, since the board are meeting fortnightly more people will start hearing from AHPRA.

Good luck. Any news would be progress just now x
