    Hey I have been offered 457 at Fiona Stanley hospital in perth :)

     

    Thank you MrsKelly.. will try WA again. i did send a CV to the London office and they replied saying my CV is too short, they need like 5 detailed pages,

    even though it was the same CV i sent to AHPRA and its like 6 pages. I just did not get it.

    Hi MartinH

    just to answer your question on work with sponsership visa... i am RMN , i hav had my LOE from AHPRA since March 2014 and have been applying for Jobs

    since May 2014, i have send my CV to over 5O hospitals and agencies and have had 2 interviews which they have not offered or rejected with the post, got references

    too by will just not make a decision. I belive if the posts are not filled by Australians or people with PR already in Australia then those like me and you at the bottom of the list will get the job offers.

    Am thinking of Appying for PR now which will cost me an arm and a leg and come March 2015 my LOE will expire and will have to start again with AHPRA. i have a Diploma and i have just completed a top up degree and am terrified to face AHPRA again.

    457 visa does it need full AHPRA registration... Help...

    Hello All

     

    I have just been ruffled, am on the verge of getting a job at a hospital in Victoria. I have LOE from AHPRA and has

    to apperer to an AHPRA office. No i have been told that i need full nursing registration to be sponsoredfor 457 visa.

    I have always thought LOE from AHPRA is good enough for that visa and then i can present to AHPRA offices when i

    arrive in Australia.

    Does anyone know how it works or who can clear this for me am getting very confused now.

     

    Thank you

    I trained 1986-89 before diplomas or degrees. My school of nursing had relocated to a University . After 6 weeks of being passed from department to department going around in circles, I wrote a letter complaining and low and behold a sheet of very faded paper appeared from their archives. It wasn't a full transcript but all my study/ practice hours and placements were on it. Not that it will be any good to me as the new criteria has forgotton about us traditionally trained nurses even though I topped up to a degree .

    Don't give up, are there any tutors still around who taught you? They may still have a transcript?

     

    Has APHRA refused to register you with a top up degree??

    Right, I've read it all again. So they haven't issued an LOE then refused to register on presentation of ID etc.

     

    they have issued me LOE based on previous rules but my fear is what if they refuse to finalize the registration once i get to Aussie and i wont be able to work...

    Barbie, do you mean that you have you had your registration approved under the old framework, but your just waiting to provide the identity documents in person? If so then this should be fine, they can't grant you registration, let you travel and then withhold it surely. Ring them or contact your case worker, or tweet them even just to check. But I shouldn't worry, I think you've been just in the nick of time to get your registration by the sounds of it!

     

    Yes i have to present with in a year with a statement of character from NMC... but am just getting worrying that they might flip the coin on me wen am in oz. I would have finsed my top up degree but the time i go there. i will check with aphra again before i set off.

    We've been asked by AHPRA if we could post the information below.

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------

     

    Hi all, I work in the communications team at AHPRA and we thought we might answer a few of the questions and ongoing issues that seem to have cropped up throughout this thread.

     

    First of all, our apologies to those whose applications have been delayed as a result of the changes that have happened. We are working as hard as we can to process applications. However, due to the complexities of each individual application, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (National Board) needs to review all documents with each application to make sure that our assessment is fair and consistent.

     

    We understand your frustration and hope you appreciate that the assessment process takes time.

     

    We’ve looked through the comments and discussions in this thread and would like to answer the ones that seem to be your core questions.

     

    For starters, the latest information is available on the National Board website. You may also want to visit this page about the stages of an application which gives a lot more information on the application process.

     

    The National Board’s website will always contain the latest information and our aim is to update the online information, particularly on the assessment process, with current information based on community feedback and any changes that happen.

     

    Much of the material below is directly from the National Board’s website, so do check it out. If you have any questions please feel free to contact AHPRA or your registration officer.

     

    Thanks to those sending in questions via our Twitter account – we’re working to reply as quickly as we can where possible. Keep in mind that, for privacy reasons, we can’t really discuss specific cases but we can talk to you about general stuff.

     

    As mentioned, the National Board website is the main source of information, so we’ll generally link you to the right page(s) on that website for more information.

     

    You will understand that the 140 character limit on Twitter makes it difficult to answer detailed or complex questions, or those about your specific circumstances. So if you have a question that needs a detailed answer it’s usually easier to either call us or make a web enquiry.

     

     

    Which criteria will my application be assessed under?

     

    The new criteria apply to all applications that were complete or received after 7 October 2013. If your application was fully complete before this date, the previous framework that existed at the time will apply.

     

    This means that if your application was not complete by 7 October, you will be assessed under the new model.

     

    Assessment of qualifications was put on hold while the new model was being implemented. The new model was finalised on 10 February 2014, and assessment of qualifications resumed at that time.

     

    More info on the new model is available here on the National Board website.

     

    Why is there a difference between ANMAC’s assessment and AHPRA’s?

     

    The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) is an independent organisation that assesses the skills of overseas nurses and midwives who want to migrate to Australia under a general skilled migration program – see International services on the ANMAC website.

     

    The National Board, in partnership with AHPRA, assesses eligibility for registration as a registered nurse, enrolled nurse or midwife in Australia in accordance with the National Law.

     

    Acceptance for skilled migration by ANMAC does not guarantee that you will be registered with the National Board.

     

    Read how applications are assessed on the National Board website.

     

     

    I have a DipHE (+/- experience as a nurse). Will my application for registration be approved?

     

    Your qualification must be assessed to be substantially equivalent to a Board-approved Australian qualification. For example, for registered nurses this must be equivalent to a bachelor degree as defined in the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) Level 7.

     

    A Diploma of Higher Education alone is generally considered to be AQF level 6 (along with advanced diplomas and associate degrees), which is below the required level for general registration. You may be eligible for a bridging program, which you will be referred to if your qualifications are assessed as AQF level 6.

     

    For more information on the AQF and how it is used in assessment, visit this page on the National Board website.

     

    Where your qualification leading to registration does not meet all eight qualification assessment criteria, the National Board will take into account any relevant subsequent nursing qualifications that may allow you to meet all requirements.

     

    You can read about composite qualifications on the National Board website.

     

     

    How long will my application take?

     

    If you have already applied for registration and are wondering how long it will take to process your application, we regret that we are generally unable to give a reliable estimate of processing time. We will give clearer timeframes individually where they are available.

     

    This is because we assess and process each application on an individual basis. The unique circumstances of your application will determine how long we take to process it.

     

    Our goal is to resume our previous target of 4-6 weeks as soon as possible to assess and determine applications from internationally qualified nurses or midwives that are both complete and straight forward. Applications that are complex may take longer.

     

    More information on processing time is available on the National Board website.

     

     

    To enquire about the status of your application

    To find out details about the status of your application, contact AHPRA directly or speak to your registration officer.

    Oh i see thanks

    @Barbie I noticed you did the OET exam and your in England - do you mind me asking why you had to do this? My application (which was the general application as ive previously been registered) stated that tertiary and secondary education taught in English passes as English competency.

     

    aw well, if they want more tests from me they can ask

     

    I did OET because am not a UK Citizen and will be travelling on a passport from a country not nominated on the application forms which are UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa even though i have a City and Guilds Diploma, in IT, Diploma in Nursing (MH), Currently studying for top up Degree and over 10yrs in UK. So Had to do I OET/ IELTS and i opted for OET. It was pain trying to prove that i was taught in English all my life.
