Hi, I sent my AHPRA application 31 October 2013. Along the way I have been asked for numerous extra evidence. The board have looked at it again and decided need more evidence re: 2, 5 & 8. 2 will be fine because uni did the template for criteria 2 but only did it for the advanced diploma timeframe and not the top up degree part so they can just send that again. Criteria 5 - stuck. They were happy with the hours on placement and the variety of settings and it all meets the criteria for my advanced diploma but they need it for the top up degree. Well I havent done any placements because I did a mentorship course and research (2 modules) that is all. I rang ahpra but they must have this information. Criteria 8 - same again the criteria is fine for my advanced diploma which was sent but they want medications management for the top up. Once again i did not do this in the top up degree. I rang, they still want info. I worked for a year before topping up and was working whilst i was topping up. Has anybody else been asked for this and what did they do? At the moment I have forwarded this email to university and hopefully they will deal with it. Good job my husband has a job to go to!

Hi, just to update all you who have applied to Perth office ahpra. I received a letter through my door today posted from AHpra on 30/12/13 (just took a week). I opened it thinking how strange, I thought I would get an email. Anyway, I sent my application off on 31/10/13 to Perth. My letter says that they have decided to offer me an extension till 28th February as all applications once assessed by a case officer have to go through the national board within a certain time frame. If the timeframe has passed and the application has not been assessed by a case officer, then the application has to go to national board and then is refused and classed as incomplete. The letter says then that to prevent this from happening we have extended your application to 28th February. Has anybody else got one of these letters? I just hope it is assessed by 28th Feb, I have just booked flights on 1/1/14 just because I wanted something to look forward to, my flights are not booked till 28th july so worse comes to worse, I could re-apply.

Hi, I sent my ahpra form to perth on 31st October. It was received on 14th November. They then received my nmc verification 27th November. Does anybody have any idea how long perth office are taking or how long theirs took? Also is there anywhere on ahpra website that says how long waiting times are? I know back in September someones took 6 weeks. Any applications in Oct, Nov, Dec please? I have my visa would just like to wait for this before booking our flights. Thank you.

Hi Nomicon would that be Keighley, West Yorkshire you live in? If so, I live not far at Cowling. I am a nurse and have had my skills assessed and visa 189 granted and just waiting on my ahpra letter. Perth office just emailed me today saying they are just waiting for my certificate of goodstanding and if they do not receive it by 6/12/13 they will withdraw my application. This is quite stressful, it was only sent a week ago so I know it will have not got there yet and I need to be patient. What nursing does your wife do? I worked at the hospital doing surgery and now do community nursing. Whereabouts in Perth are you going? Me, my husband and my three children are going to North Perth. Keep in touch. I cant believe it if you are near me.
