    Hi, I probably have no useful advice as we live in Adelaide, have a permanent visa and don't have kids but my hubby works offshore on ships (ROV pilot) and wouldn't want to live near the airport as we see it often enough Your family is probably used to the offshore lifestyle but just a wee note to say I have found it harder here than when we were in the U.K although I'm not really sure why? I have friends here, I have a full time job, only real difference is I don't have my parents here but that was only a monthly visit anyway. Maybe cos it's so lovely being here I want him here all the time! But I've got used to it and it's his job so we just suck it up and enjoy the money and the free time when he's home! (With a fair bit of moaning on the phone to him while he's away!) good luck gill x

    Hi, just wanted to say we ended up bringing our cat last minute as our adopter fell through. She was nine, very timid, a skin condition and titanium pin in her leg! She came out of quarantine looking better than we had last seen her! She's moved home twice (no more moves, we've bought a home now) and she has been great! She loves the sun so much, loves being outdoors (well as long as she can skulk about in bushes, she'd never just walk down the street). We haven't regretted it for a minute and it helped me settle in so much more easily to have her here! She is now 11 and has become a right sook Gill

    Hi I'm in Adelaide and oh can be anywhere in world working. He did it in uk too but seems harder here. But he gets to come home to a gorgeous place it always makes me feel better knowing loads of people have to do it too!

    Hi, I am in Adelaide so a different ivf clinic, but my uk experience to aus is night and day. We are being treated in a private clinic which is part of a public hospital. The access is fantastic, was virtually impossible for us in uk as hubbie works offshore but they have bent over backwards for us here. Very professional and honest. Our clinic bulk bills half cost then we pay half and get various amounts back on Medicare too. Get more back the more you spend in a year! Our clinic is now trialling bulk billing so our next frozen cycle we won't pay anything! And this started ten months after we arrived in aus as permanent citizens. Good luck Gill x

    Ooh I remember registering on my working holiday visa! We turned up at office in Sydney with our paperwork, thought it might take two or three weeks, and were a bit annoyed we got registered in half an hour! Meant we could work instead of lying on the beach! How times have changed!! Gill x

    Hi, I paid the whole lot and am actually registered, but have also neede to re register again this month having not yet reached oz! I do like being on the register however! It's comforting to know I can work when I get there! Gill x

    Hi Bev, I sent a document (on headed notepaper) I made of all study days, training, mentoring, teaching etc with info on what learning outcomes etc I had achieved, then got my Charge Nurse to sign it as correct! I also downloaded a copy of my training record from the health board intranet. Mainly concentrated on last 12 months but NHS training record covered 4 years. Was a bit nervous as Oz seems to have higher hours of p.d but thought I could only be judged against U.K guideline? You're doing so well at speeding through the applications! Gill x

    Hi Simon, I recently have had registration confirmed, and I had to provide only a c.v, evidence of professional education and marriwge certificate for change of name, all rest of documents were covered by my anmc assessment, Gill x:biggrin:

    Helen , What a nightmare, this is so ridiculous, especially after having to deal with the ahpra in the first place, is there no-one with some sense you can get to take this further? Good luck, you're definetly detemined! Gill x

    Hi Oh this is making me stress out! I read and re read then added my mum, dad, and brothers as family members not migrating (not dependents). When I submitted it they did come up and I nearly freaked out thinking I had applied for us all, (can't imagine what my sister in laws would say!) but on my online visa application check page, it is just me and hubbie so think is okay?

    Hello! After 3 months I finally have an email from AHPRA who say that they haven't received my file from ANMC yet in Sydney, do I know where it was sent? Now maybe wrong but presumed ANMC knew where to send it, although this is the first time Sydney has been mentioned!!!??? I'm sure my form went to Melbourne? Then they have the cheeck to say that as I was registered before on a WHV in NSW in 1998, that they don't need my IELTS results! Thankfully as I am awaiting a 176 visa, I'm not under time pressure, but I do would like someone to shout at a bit!:arghh: Has anyone needed to get ANMC send their file twice, will they do this? Thanks Gill x
  14. Malkitek
    Thanks Annette Yes a 176 with SS from SA, hopefully! What are your plans? Gill x

    Hi I sent a copy of the receipt the AHPRA sent me for assessment and registration fee, do you think this is enough? Gill x
  16. Malkitek
    Hi All The anmc have agreed to send my file to the ahpra, so i have just added my c.v and the fee. I had to pay an assessment fee, application fee and renewal fee? $450 in total. Has anyone actually managed to get registered this way? Very stressed by how confusing this is all, way before you have to even think about organising the reality of moving and living in Oz! Is it a test, do you think, to prove how keen you are?? Gill x

    Hi thanks for all the sharing! I put my Uk address in Q5. and Uk workplace,for Q6. seemed a bit strange to be asking for Australian place of practice when not yet registered? Gill x:unsure:

    Had the same problem! so frustrating to not even know how much it costs! I've sent an email asking if its a website problem, and can they send me the info by email, so might be able to let you know, if/ when they reply? Gill:skeptical:

    Hi fellow nurses, I have a successful skills assessment from ANMC, does anyone know if it is possible for them to send my info onto AHPRA, as it frustrating that is mainly the same information required? Sorry to say, but glad I'm not the only one struggling with this all, especially as my hubbie keeps telling me we don't need a migration agent (but I'm doing all the work!) Gill x
