This is NOT a joke, I can not even believe it. So I posted my AHPRA application on 25/4/12 thinking it would take ages and be the most stressful part of the process......

 

I logged onto my email today to find an email from AHPRA. Before I open it i think to myself "god, what have I missed off"....Instead I find "THE ASSESSMENT IS NOW COMPLETE, AND YOU ARE CONSIDERED ELIGABLE FOR REGISTRATION AS A MENTAL HEALTH NURSE IN AUSTRALIA"

 

All I have to do is present at the AHPRA office within 12 months and get my registration. I can NOT believe it has taken 16 days from posting the application for getting my 'in principle'!! I actually dont know what I am going to do, I didnt expect it to take this amount of time and Im not apply for my visa until September!!

 

(on the side of this, my husband and I will not be ready to go until June/July next year and I am wondering if anyone can advise me what would happen if I went to AHPRA to get my registration and then left to come back to the UK until we were ready to go over, kind of like visa validation?)

 

Despite my little dilemma I am SO pleased!!! Oh and I got a firm job offer yesterday too, in writing!!

 

It seems like things are coming together, I just hope that the rest of my application goes smoothly!

 

Good luck to everyone applying and If i can offer any advice of help I will do xxxx

congratulations can I ask you exactly what info you had to send I want to make sure I've got everything right before I send mine (I think I will send mine to Adelaide seeing how quick they are)

thanks Sue
