HI,

Just starting to look into Citizenship, but our eldest is 16 this July.

Can he be included in our application as parents, if we applied before July, or would he need to do his own, as by the time the applications are processed he would be 16 years old??

Anyone advise?

Thanks

Hi Kitty kat,

Pleased to hear about your plans; I hope something comes up for you :-) What kind of visa are you going on?? I'm unsure of what step to take next, and what visa would be best :-/

Congratulations Kitty Kat - what are your plans now you have been approved by AHPRA?

Woohoo! Got an email today from AHPRA saying ive been successful an eligable to work in Oz!! :-) Took total of 4 months x

Don't think my certificates had my middle name either - didnt cause any problems - so fingers crossed for you :-)

Bit excited - got an email saying that all my evidence has been been received and now it will get passed to a manager to be assessed to see if I can get AHPRA registration :-) fingers crossed

Hi Memmymooch,

I have PM you - hope thats okay :-) x

Hi Shelz

are there any other nurses that you work with maybe in partner agencies? I had a similar situation to yours I work for a national charity and we are split into regional projects with me being the only nurse in my project with non clinical manager I originally asked ANMAC what to do as needed refs for skill assessment and they advised that if there was anyone clinical like doc or medical director that would be ok in conjunction with managers ref or if that not possible then a very detailed ref from manager setting out all aspects of my role and explaining that there was no other clinical person to do ref within the project. I managed to get one of the nurses from a different region to support the ref from manager and even though she did not directly manage or work with me it went through ok and I used the same refs for my AHPRA application and they never queried it

good luck

I have emailed AHPRA back double checking if my clinical supervisor could do a reference (which would be on NHS letter headed paper) outlining what they want and then my line manager to countersign it, im hoping this would be accepted, Im waiting to hear back.:-/ Its the only thing I can think of but the different letter headed paper I think might be a problem...

They also want the professional reference to state that I work as a nurse - Im not sure she can do this - as Im employed as a specialist young parent worker which needed a relevant professional qualification ie. nursing, social work etc to get the job, I undertake community based interventions/ assessments, pregnancy tests/consultations, referral to other agencies etc and I have maintained by NMC registration - so don't know what should be put in the reference to meet this criteria or how it should be worded??? Any suggestions??

AHPRA have given me till the end of January to get items to them - (she gave me a 2 week extension when I requested longer.)

Hi,

I have applied to AHPRA and have just been asked to provide more data.

They have asked for another employment reference - specifically a 'current nursing/midwifery professional reference' however I do not work in the NHS and work for the local authority and none of my managers are nurses or midwifes as we are a multi-disciplinary team within Childrens Services.

My employer has already provided a reference but is not a nurse or midwife.

Advice please!!!!!! :-/ I have a deadline to provide the data
