keep ringing and pestering them every day as they have to log all the calls!!!!

It seems to vary considerably for different people, my wife has the degree and the Masters units for Nurse Prescribing and it took APHRA 8 months to issue the registration. It was quite frustrating and she nearly lost the job offer because they took so long.

We arrived in Perth mid July 2014 and managed to secure a 3 month furnished rental in a 4x2 house in Currambine NOR. The property is tastefully furnished and very well located being close to Currambine railway station (6 min walk) and then only a 30 minute ride to the city. Joondalup centre is less than 5 minutes drive away with the vast lakeside shopping mall and beaches are less than a 5 minute drive in the opposite direction. The owners of the property were very attentive to our needs and were very helpful in helping us settle into our new lives downs under. I am a Yorkshire man and watch my pennies closely, I did a lot of research on short term rental properties and believe I found a bargain on this property which included all bills. I appreciate the forum rules do not allow advertising of private properties but should any one want the details of this property I will quite happily provide them if you Private Message me. As a fellow Poms in Oz I feel it is my duty to share my good experiences with others.

yes, wife applied Feb 2014 and received registration early Sept 2014. she rang them twice a week, sent emails etc I think the time and motion people need to do an audit on APHRA - headless chickens comes to mind!!!

Backlogs!!! APHRA is meant to be a Professional Regulatory Government Body representing a Caring Profession and they themselves are the total opposite 'this comment is based on personal experiences'

my wife has only just received her LOE 05/09/14, she applied February 2014, we arrived in Oz July 2014 and she has been ringing Aphra every week.

I got some clippers and will trim it for you for $10 :smile:
