Lisababy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi everyone, I just thought I'd post an update REGARDING ahpra registration as I know this is a topic that brings about much discussion (and usually frustration) I am a qualified mental health nurse, initially diploma level but completed my degree top up 12 months ago. I did Non medical prescribing, psychopharmacology, leadership and evidence based practice. I had applied to ahpra in May and was granted registration in principle in June. This is only applicable for 6 weeks but I emailed my case officer and was extended my another 12 months (I think I was lucky because he replied to all emails and I had no issues at all - his name was Phoenix Leonard) We arrived in Australia on our permanent visas on 31st December and presented to the ahpra office yesterday at 2pm, by 4.30pm today I was on the register so really quick!!! And start my job on Monday as a nurse consultant ? never been higher than a band 7 back home so really nervous. If anyone needs any help, just send a message or reply here and and if I can help, I will do. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi all. Help is needed! I'm waiting for my PR visa to come through but have been told that in the meantime I can apply for AHPRA reg. I've been on their website and it's so confusing! Sounds like I need an Australian address and my visa before I can apply....is this right? Any info would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxlornaxx Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 No you don't need an Australian address or a visa...but you do need to present in person to an ahpra office within 3 months of getting eligibility/acceptance letter from them to complete registration or you would need to start over...so don't apply till you are ready to go over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
