Hi, just want to know we have a bissell carpet cleaner, which we love, thinking about whether it is worth bringing it, would it need to be taken apart and scrubbed, like garden tools and bikes? or just a simple clean suffice? Ta

Sadly there are a few hundred of us UK diploma nurses now, falling foul of AHPRA's recent changes! [emoji20]

Yes by ANMAC at the moment, but sadly no by AHPRA, my advice with whole AHPRA mess, would be to try to get registered with AHPRA first, then look to go for visa after that. Although at the moment there is little chance your OH will get registered, she may be better getting her quals topped up to degree, before starting anything. Good luck.

Hi, the notice on AHPRA, is for those who have had a positive ANMAC assessment for Skilled visa, prior to the February changes, just thought that should be clarified. So I think you should be fine Hayley, just send your details via the link on the website, we're not there yet, but it's a step in the right direction!
-
Sorry to disappoint you Ceridwyn, as I know you love to heap misery on us, that hasn't changed, they have always required AQF7, and that is the at the very root of our argument, any UK diploma nurse who has been through ANMAC, has been assessed as AQF7!
-
You're welcome, you will find plenty of advise and support on this and other forums. Don't worry about the horror stories, that is only affecting us diploma nurses, regardless of our years of experience, and skills, we are being refused registration, newly qualified degree nurses however, can get registered, almost on graduation, so you will be absolutely fine.

Every which way you look at it, it's not an easy process, Oz like to make you work for your dream. If you are only looking at a temp visa, then AHPRA will be all you need, so don't get hung up on ielts, that's just for PR visa applicants, can't help with cost of that one, as we have PR visa, which isn't cheap, but as you may have read despite positive ANMAC assessments, and PR visas, diploma nurses are being refused registration. Do a little more research and the fog will clear!

Our 190 visa has cost over £7K for a family of 4, so not a cheap do! And bear in mind that is before flights, accommodation, shipping, pet shipping etc etc.

ANMAC is needed by ALL nurses wanting PERMANENT visas, diploma or degree. And you don't 'side step ielts' unless you have AHPRA registration first, in which case you can do a modified ANMAC assessment. ANMAC treat degree and diploma nurses equally, it is only AHPRA that have recently had issues with 'diploma' nurses. Fees very much depend on what visa you are applying for. Best wishes.

Yes, she can 'crack on' with everything, ielts was always the starting point, but I think AHPRA should be, before, like us, you spend thousands on your visa! Once AHPRA is done, she can apply for a modified ANMAC assessment, that can save a few hundred pounds, which in the grand scheme of things isn't that much! My advise, if you want PR visa, is to bite the bullet, and do AHPRA, and a full ANMAC assessment together before you apply for the visa, in case ANMAC change their criteria too. Then the DIBP will seem ok! The EOI and immigration, to be honest, although really thorough, and almost needing to know your inside leg measurement, was fine, as you have a named CO dealing with your case, they are efficient and responsive, and certainly in my case, approachable! Best wishes.

1. Yes and she'd be wise to, and 2. $540. Good luck.

Every visa applicant has to validate their visa within 12 months, she can go first, but you all have to go at some point prior to the 12 month expiry.

You'll be fine then x
-
He'll be fine with a degree, it's only us diploma nurses having problems. Your only issue would be if you're looking to come on PR visa then he may need more experience. Good luck
-
It may go to the NMBA for final assessment, but if AHPRA have already 'wrongly' assessed us at AQF6, that's all the NMBA will see, and that's not enough to register! That's why they will look at post reg quals! Not that it seems to help! No one from AHPRA has yet been able to justify this AQF assessment of our diploma! As it's so wrong!
-
Are you sure you can't get academic transcripts? I qualified 1995, and my uni were able to provide all sorts of info! Not that I'm any nearer to getting registered, as AHPRA is just an absolute nightmare! They seem to have brushed experience and skills under the carpet, in favour of the piece of paper you leave uni with! Newly qualified degree nurses are being allowed to register, but those of us with years of experience and diplomas are not! Try to stay positive!

AHPRA and why UK Diploma Nurses shouldn't bother applying
geordiegirl68 replied to a topic in Careers and Vacancies
I think the moderators have corrected the spelling mistake! So it does now read AHPRA! [emoji12] -
Well I've done the ielts, would be more than happy to sit an exam before leaving the UK to prove my credentials to Oz! better than all this stess! Would still be a lot less than we're going through for AHPRA!!
-
No, we are not discussing what is required for Oz degree! We are discussing comparisons for both! We do the same training as our degree counterparts, theory and practice hours! Which is why on the above it is listed as one for the UK, unlike any other country! If AHPRA say UK diploma isn't enough to register, they may as well say degree isn't sufficient either!
-
Not matching up 'solely' on time! Many of us have already looked at this!! Matches up, in fact exceeds Australian degree on many components, such as practice hours, take a look at this might explain it for you!! There is nothing 'airy fairy' about it!
-
It's not about the 'names' of qualifications it's how our UK qualification is assessed against that framework! AQF6 typically 1.5-2 years in length, AQF7 3-4 years in length! In the UK diploma nurses and degree nurses train together, and do the SAME training!! So if you could highlight any part of the AQF7 specification that is not met by the UK DipHE I'd be more than happy to hear your argument.
-
Please read the AQF Ceridwyn!

I am speaking for 100s of nurses, this isn't just my issue, as I'm sure you're now aware. If the UK were importing nurses only to refuse them the right to work, then having to pay them benefits, I'm sure the issue would be addressed! Instead after many have spent in excess of £15K, to get to Oz, we are refused registration, and asked (if we're lucky) to attend a bridging programme at a cost of a further $10-15K. And with regard to 'finding a way to get to Oz' I have my PR visa, and will be moving over! Whether I work as a nurse is a different matter!
-
That's fine, myself and hundreds of others are waiting to hear the answer to why our 3 year uni courses are seen as equivalent to an 18 month Australian one, ANMAC use the same framework (correctly) as a comparison tool, but AHPRA have not, despite being asked countless times on Twitter, why they have done this! And with all due respect, I don't think you can truly understand our 'frustration' Pom Queen, to be assessed once, told Oz want you, invest 1000s of pounds on our visas, selling our homes, uprooting our families, then to arrive in a country that says, actually your not 'good enough' to work as an RN here despite having performed the role for 20 years in your own country!
-
I did, but if AHPRA want to 'comment' through someone else! They need to start providing the answer to the big question they have yet to answer!
