I've worked since getting here last Sept, had a few different ones as not sure what I want but that's me, that's on the Gold Coast. I have friends further North, Perth and further South all working, don't know any who've struggled.

Sent mine to Darwin, only took about a fortnight

If I remember rightly yes. I also remember looking at it thinking feck feck but just take your time and I copied and pasted some questions into google and surprisingly got answers!

Bouncy - make sure it lists main duties and whether they were supervised/unsupervised. It's a bit like a condensed job description just bullet pointed. Mine earlier years ones weren't massively detailed and they were accepted. I think it's more around confirmation That you were employed as a nurse

Is that not once you have completed paperwork once you have letter of determination rather than having to present in person it can be done this way?

Hi ali

 

Did you wait for your visa to be granted before applying for registration?

 

Thanks

 

Sarah

for my visa - 190 with QLD I had to have registration before they gave me sponsorship

Bummer!

Why can't you get AHPRA registration?

Must depend on the day! We bought drinks at Newcastle, no probs going from there to Dubai then Singapore but Singapore wouldn't allow them on the flight to Brisbane!

I had to resend the my CV and give cpd evidence, also because my yearly NMC renewal date passed, I had to get the NMC to resend confirmation of registration again! At a cost!

Me too! What a swizzle!

Hi Priyoo, I've sent a pm but I've just googled ANMAC professional reference and it brought up quite a detailed template of what needs to be written, this will be best followed as things change over time as to what they request. Don't stress too much over it just follow what is written. Good luck

Well, I applied a month ago and received only one signal from AHPRA. The credit card was charged. Gave them a call this week asking whether the ANMAC documents have arrived. Thus they told me everything is fine for now. However, a case manager would start with the application end of November earliest. Doesn't seem to be a fast lane...

It often depends on the individual office, some are faster than others, mine only took 8 days from receiving documents. I suppose it depends if your CV and evidence of professional development is ok, I think this is where people experience delays. I sent mine to Darwin. Good luck

Hi Di and Ste this is a link to wat I wrote for someone about my timeline if it helps

I don't know about the others mate, but unfortunately no one was kind enough to send their CV to me. On the other hand, you can help yourself with the tips posted in this thread. cheers.

To be honest what is the point of sending individual CVs when each and every one of our CVs is different. From the info Ahpra give http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Registration/Registration-Process/Standard-Format-for-Curriculum-Vitae.aspx it really is straightforward and if folks are so stuck at this hurdle perhaps it isnt the right time to be emigrating as this is one of the easier parts.

FYI I have forwarded my CV to several on here with no words of thanks from some, not all but certainly some and Im now concerned that Ahpra may have duplicates of my CV circulating!

The info regarding professional references is also there.

People are willing to guide but not spoon feed

The only problem is the NMC posted verification documents to ANMAC who kindly forwarded them the AHPRA but AHPRA are awkward and want another posting straight to them! What a pain.

Is it because your yearly renewal has arrived? During my time waiting for Anmac this happened I had to get new request but was no problems when documents went to Ahpra

Just list your key responsibilities (can be taken from job description), confirm your hours of employment, length of time with current employer. From template they give you list each area with an example of how you meet that area. Its not much use emailing you copies as our roles are all different. Make sure its written on headed notepaper from your organisation

Its not so much that the essay is difficult its the way you set it out. It has to have clear defined paragraphs and like above post re being clear about what your writing about. I used English Ryan on you tube and managed to boost to an 8 but unfortunately that particular test I dropped my listening to a 7.5! However Ive since gone down the 190 route and hoping for the golden ticket any day!

They do but for points purposes you need at least all 7s in each band for 10 points or all 8's for 20. Not sure why they give an overall. My overall each time has been 8.5 but I only got 10 points as kept getting a 7.5 in one :-(

This shows the correct answers needed. Its a bit unfair as need more right answers in general than academic!

Hi All, I have a question regarding APHRA offices. Does it make a difference which office you apply to, I want to move to melbourne or Sydney areas, not sure which as yet, my AMNAC application is in for assessment, I was going to apply to Victoria APHRA, any advice would be welcome if there are differences to where you apply. I was going to ask AMNAC to forward my docs after the assessment was completed. Thanks. Paul

Hi you can request any office I sent mine to Darwin though will be heading to Brisbane and no problems was really quick too

Okay, really stressed now. I submitted all my documents to ANMAC and they've emailed back today to say they've received my IELTS but require me to have done academic not general IELTS. I'M so confused. It doesn't state which IELTS they require on the 5 selection criteria areas, just says requires IELTS above 7 in each part.

I'm British, have done all my education in UK and got 9 for general IELTS. Is it true I have to do ACADEMIC instead?!

Its definitely the Academic version and is stated on the site (http://www.anmac.org.au/faqs#006), its unfortunate but probably unlikely they will accept general. Best just swallow the bitter pill and resit the Academic and at least be happy you have gained 20 points for visa purposes with your previous one so all is not lost!

Hi just about ready to post of ahpra application does anyone know what the processing time is in Melbourne.

Not sure re Melbourne but mine only took 8 days from being received at Darwin though I had had Anmac transfer paper work good luck

I never knew that about automatic scanning, often wondered why it wasnt allowed, will be more careful on other sites now

Theyll tell you they dont like to be emailed as it slows them down but better to sort queries now rather than waste time later. Good luck

I assumed it was only for points purposes but I may be wrong, you could always email them and ask?
