I have a question on registration......i have applied for and now received a letter from AHPRA to say i have been successful and am now eligible for registration. All i need to do is present myself to AHPRA office with passport and meet ID and criminal history requirements. When i read the details of this on AHPRA site, it says i need to have job offer to complete process? My problem is...i initially intended to be in Oz for good August just gone, but have had to postpone for almost 2 years, so will now be arriving for good 2013. We are going out to validate next Feb, and my letter says i have to go to AHPRA office by march 2012 or will lose right to register and have to restart process all over again and they will destroy all my documentation. Can i still complete registration process without job offer, so i have registration which i can just renew as you would in Uk, then i will have my registration in place for when we move for good 2013. Has anyone completed registration process without job offer? Thanks Tania.

Hi Tania,

I have just finalised my registration with AHPRA in July and didn't have a job offer in place, or any intention of working immediately. I would get my registration completed as soon as possible, they change the goalposts all the time and it may be even more difficult to register in 2013.

Do you know anyone in Australia whose address you could use, set up your oz bank account and have that and some other mail sent there so you have id with an address?

Good luck

Cheryl.

I have just realised that my last post is a bit redundant as the QNC does not seem to exist anymore but I do have a new question. How on earth do I register with the ANMC?? I have been to the new website and cannot find any details of how to register as an international nurse. Help please!!

Hi Emma,

To register you need AHPRA the new registration board not ANMC, ANMC deal only with skills assesment for visas if you google AHPRA, you should be directed to the website good luck. Cheryl.

Hi Emma,

You only need to register with the ANMC for skills assesment in order to get a visa, but if your going on your husbands visa you wont need to do this, im going on my hubby's visa too so am in the same position, As of the begining of July most of the Australian nursing boards have merged so i think you now need to apply to AHPRA for registration, some of the states have yet to join so i would check to see if this applies to you, hope this helps, good luck, Cheryl.

Hi all,

Im new to this forum but hoping someone can help, i recently sent off my application for registration to the nmb with all the neccessary paperwork and have had a response saying my transcript doesnt include theoretical work in the following areas, medical nursing, surgical nusring, aged care nursing, mental health and community nursing,, however my nursing diploma which i completed in 2002 is child health specific and im registered as a child health nurse, i know in australia there are no such distinctions, has anyone else experienced this, can they just place a restriction on my practice any advice would be great,, thanks cheryl.
