Hi guys! Well done bigmac that's great news! I'm about to get in line with ahpra to see if I can register before we go for the visa! Just wondered is there a central address to get anmac to send documents to or do I just get them sent to the perth office which is where we hope to go!
-
Hi nursebucko, anmac didn't send me an email initially telling me they had recieved my documents, I emailed them when I read on here someone had sent theirs the same day as I did and they had received confirmation of reciept !! They apologised and sent out the email the same day, so if times getting on just email them, but I'm sure they'll have it, took about 10 days ish for mine to get there. They received it on the 24th of April and I recieved email of final review on the 30th of June, it said it takes 1 to 10 days to recieve email with final decision it maybe longer in busy periods! I'm getting used to all the waiting now! Although this is nothing compared to the wait im in for for ahpra!!!!
-
Agreed, as soon as my anmac comes back I'll be sending an e mail!! Not sure if this is helpful or just confirming what we know but I emailed a nursing recruitment and relocation agency in oz after seeing people asking them for info on bridging courses. That had a notice on their website stating dip he only nurses from uk should not make any irreversible plans at the minute as ahpra are refusing or referring theses nurses. I asked about those of us with a post grad degree and they said these have been fine just the dip he having problems. They also said how it will never work if they keep to this, and are in discussions with ahpra regarding this. They said most of the nurses they get are dip he so they won't fulfil their skills select quota with these rules in place so something has to change! Glad they agree!! Just thought I'd share!!
-
Hi Nursebucko, do you have the degree or diploma? I'm expecting my anmac back any day now, was going to go straight for visa afterwards but now wondering if I should be trying ahpra first just incase! Panicking about not getting registered after forking out for the visa!!
-
Ha, I just have all the pages open in my I phone so can flick through refresh and hope for good news! I'm disappointed a lot!
-
If anyone is entitled to have a rant it's everyone on this thread! I've become obsessed too with checking for updates! One day I'll hit thec refresh button to someone with the diploma saying they got their registration through! If only!!
-
Ahpra don't seem to know their a@#e from their elbow!! It's absurd! They surely can't do this! geordiegirl68 can't even imagine how you must be feeling! Paednurseclaire, yes it's a worry they'll change to something else ridiculous or immigration will stop nurses visas once the ahpra mess is sorted out!! Keep thinking where there's a will there's a way and all that! They've just made it all so much more difficult/impossible!!
-
Paednurseclaire, can't you do the remaining modules to complete your degree? I did mine through work so it was free! Only need 90 credits for bsc degree or 120 with honours! Your already half way! It's the most awful situation to dump on folk with no warning, everyone has invested so much in the process up to now, it's sooooo unfair! Dies anyone know exactly how long the bridging course lasts? I've read varying lengths, some 3 months. I'm just keeping everything crossed this whole thing comes together for everyone!!
-
Hi paednurseclaire, I'm in a similar boat! Paeds nurse dip he, have completed my post grad degree. Anmac due in any day now but don't know which step to take next! I'm thinking I'll apply for ahpra and if I don't get registered then game over, the cost and time it would take to do the bridging course would make the whole move just too difficult! Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that! Working on a plan b just in case!!: (
-
Surely if dip he nurses have done there practice development degree this must be ok? Can't imagine why it wouldn't be! But then can't imagine why a 3 year dip he wouldn't be good enough!
-
Thanks for the update jac2011, it's a total mess!! I'm still waiting on anmac so I'm definitely going to sit tight til I go any further!! geordiegirl68 you must be mega frustrated!! That's probably an understatement!!!! im a dip/he with a top up degree, dies the top up degree make any difference at all?
-
Hi guys I've just got back from a weeks holiday, so was hoping for some good news from you guys who are wIting for news from ahpra? I've read a few of the updates which doesn't sound too promising! Has there been any news as to wether dip/he nurse are no longer accepted or us it still up in the air? Keeping everything crossed!!!!!
-
As I've got the dip/he child branch I'm getting worried. I've since topped up to degree in child health but not sure that helps! Hope there are some answers soon.
-
Hi paednurseclaire, that's rubbish about your references! I waited what seemed like ages to get mine written, not sure I could cope with having to get them rewritten! Think out assessments must be in the same pile! This has to be he most stressful bit!!!!!!
-
Hi just to update! I received an e mail from anmac this morning apologising for the confusion, it seems someone else's ahpra registration was stapled to one of my pieces of paperwork! Oops! This assessment will turn me grey!! So no more action required..... Phew!!!!
-
Yes ahpra is looking like it's going to be even more of a pain! Haven't even started that bit yet and I'm already worried!!! We are hoping for perth, I've got friends there so at least we 'd have some insider knowledge and a helping hand once there!! All very exciting!!
-
Oh my word! Kellyv that's fantastic! You must be do excited!! It seems anmac us the longest part of this process!! Where are headed?
-
Thanks kellyv, hope this ident hold things up too much!!

Hi all, can anyone shed some light on the e mail I received this morning!? It's from anmac stating that initial pre assessment is done and most documents are in order except initial Australian registration. It then says "noting you now have Australian rego." What does this mean? I have not yet registered with ahpra! Does this mean I need to send something else? I did register as a nurse in oz about 10 ish years ago when the system was completely different and each state had their own nursing body! I never kept this registration up. I have no paper work from this and as the Queensland nursing body ( who I registered with no longer exists ). Not sure how I'd get a copy! I did email ahpra at the beginning of this process and they said as things had changed so dramatically since my initial reg I had to start from scratch!! Do I just wait for further instructions? any help massively appreciated!! i posted this in migration issues initially but probably should be here instead!

Congratulations kellyv that's brilliant news !! Must be a relief! One step closer, only the dreaded ahpra to sort out now!!!
-
Oh no kellyv that's sooooooo annoying! I hope they get it sorted quick for you, how frustrating!!!!!
-
There's a postal address and a courier one! Which is best to use or does it not make any difference! On my way to post office!! Finally!!!!! thanks in advance!!
-
So documents for visa don't need to be certified as long as they are colour copies!? Odd they don't require certification but skills assessment bodies etc do! So I'll get extra an extra black and white copies of our passports certified then upload the rest in colour!! Should save have some money!! Thanks for the help x
-
Thanks bigmac, so should I just get 2 certified copy's of everything?
