Unfortunately she failed too :-( 54 overall need 65 However we booked it only on Wednesday so no preparation whatsoever and finished by 11:00 am Good the results are out so quickly

Where did you take it? My OH took it in Nottingham on friday We also need 65 points But she did say it was far far less stressful than the torture that is called ielts Good luck on your re test

If you get registered with AHPRA then ANMAC only do the modified assessment. ANMAC faq below http://www.anmac.org.au/faqs#010 If you need to provide evidence of recent skilled employment (under any ANZSCO Code) in Australia or internationally in order to obtain points towards your visa application you will need to provide a professional reference of at least 36 months’ international experience or 12 months’ Australian experience. ANMAC has provided an example that helps to explain the professional reference requirements. (Ali has already posted a link to this above)

Exact cost is on the back of the form you fill out Think it's 520 dollars for agos40 dont forget the criminal check fee as well

OET Veterinary Science is one route But IELTS general tends to be easier than OET OET advantage it will be possibly more in your field

From what you have said I think you have got this one, fingers crossed for you On another note what were the questions like in nature?

Good luck

Hi guys Did a quick search under maternity didnt find an answer, if its been answered already apologies in advance Help please, does anyone know or have experience with the points test on this please From DIAC info points test <<To claim points for skilled employment you must have, in the 10 years before you were invited to apply, at least 20 hours of paid work per week in your nominated skilled occupation and/or a closely related occupation. >> In respect to maternity does "paid maternity" leave count towards it, you have a contract saying you are employed for the required hours and pay slip saying you are paid. Or is the "paid work" mean you have to be at the work face. TIA

It looks like it's for practitioners and GP's only though

Would maternity pay plus statuary pay combined count as full pay as long as the amounts tally up? for example in the nhs you can get 8 weeks full pay on maternity 18 weeks on maternity and statuary pay then 18 weeks half pay effectively thanks WR

Quick answer letter of eligibility

My hat off to these guys without what they did many more lives would have been lost Quotes from Oppenheimer "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." It worked! (after the Trinity test) If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of the nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima. The people of this world must unite or they will perish

If she qualified in Poland then could be reason why.

DNA test would prove it

Yes you can, it is cheaper that way. They will ask for a signature. Worked from Spain last year.

If you go for a regional migration area hospital ie outside of major metros then good (some just want registration). Inside then most are looking for 2 plus years (but you might find some who need less)

This is really good news :wink: Thanks for this :notworthy:

Welcome to PIO :biggrin: The info you need is here AHPRA - Update for international nurses >>Applications received after 14 September 2010 Nurses and midwives qualified in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore who have a degree or a diploma and further education and who are registered as a first level nurse in these countries, are deemed to have the equivalent qualification as a practitioner qualified in Australia. Specifically, this means nurses and midwives who have successfully completed a minimum six semester (or equivalent) Bachelor degree or Associate degree (or higher) in general nursing at a university in one of these countries, who also has professional licensure as a registered (first level) nurse in the country of education, will be considered to meet the requirement for equivalence to an Australian degree completed at an Australian university. Nurses and midwives from these countries who have a Diploma of Higher Education or Advanced Diploma at a university or equivalent institution, together with professional licensure as a registered nurse and further professional/post-graduate education, also meet the standard for registration as a registered nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Nurses and midwives with only a diploma qualification from these countries will require assessment of their further education and/or work experience to determine if they are equivalent to an Australian qualified practitioner. <<

I'm not sure about your question and the Nurse Dip being equivalent to an Aussie Degree; good question though. However The changes in July only apply to the following visa's Copied from DIAC >>Who will the new points test apply to? It is important to note that the new points test will only apply to one component of the skilled migration program. This change will not affect every type of skilled migration visa and only applies to applicants for the following visas: Subclass 885 Skilled Independent Subclass 886 Skilled Sponsored Subclass 487 Skilled Regional Sponsored Subclass 175 Skilled Independent Subclass 176 Skilled Sponsored Subclass 475 Skilled – Regional Sponsored. When will the new points test come into effect? It is proposed that the new points test will apply to applications made from 1 July 2011, unless the applicant is eligible for transitional arrangements.<< It will not apply to 457 and the ENS 121 which don't need the full Degree. Yes this will effectively stop the GSM route for many with the Diploma. Not sure why they are doing this but I've heard a rumour that they want Nurses to go down the 457/121 route, the concern was that people getting GSM 175/176's and then not following up with a job as a nurse. When they realise that the numbers of nurses immigrating falls they may have to change this.

AHPRA Update on English language requirements for registration AHPRA - Board update on English language skills registration standard >>21 March 2011 Board update on English language skills registration standard The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (the Board) today confirmed that the current English language skills registration standard remains in place pending the outcome of an extensive consultation process.<< The current one is here AHPRA - Internationally Qualified Nurses and Midwives Was is not clear is if they will take into account 2ndary Education for English instead of IELTS as before
