Hi Katy,

You need a Degree in order to comply with AHPRA's requirements to register so you will need to do some sort of top up. There is also new requlations with them that you have to meet further requirements of completing 10 caseloading continuity of care experiences which is not included in UK training. Therefore UK trained Midwive's are having to come over on supervised practice.

At the minute you won't meet AHPRA's requirements to register as a Midwife so your best bet is to top up to Degree first.

Hope this helps x

Hello and thanks for having me!

 

I am hoping to move with my family to Oz. I am a Midwife with 14 years experience in a very well renowned hospital in Scotland. Ideally I would come in on visa 189 (skilled PR)

 

I've been trying to work my way through the paperwork with help from these forums, but I have a few questions and wondered if any of you lovely people can help me.

 

It seems it may make sense to apply to APHRA first as I am a diploma trained midwife (there were no degrees when I trained!), as I fear I may not meet the criteria and have to do a bridging course or something....? Does that seem right?

 

Is it possible to apply to AHPRA without having a visa, or even a EOI in place?

 

If it is not possible to apply first to APHRA, is it likely I will meet the criteria for skills select with ANMAC, and be granted a visa? (My english language test is this weekend).

 

Or perhaps, do you think I would be better off trying to come in on a sponsorship 478 and apply for a PR once we are there?

 

I appreciate your time and TIA

 

Katy

We shipped our dog bed which was used. We just made sure it was washed and free of dog hair. Hope this helps :cute:

We got ours this morning! We applied 16th Oct. Got a CO 10th December asking for PCC's. Uploaded last night. I uploaded and emailed to the CO so don't know if that made a difference ☺️

We got assigned a CO today. Requested national police checks. Hadn't realised I'd only applied for state checks!

Hello all I have some enquiry about the medical. as a nurse, is it required to include hepatitis B and C in the blood test? But when I asked about the clinic and gave my HAPID, it is not required. Wonder if I filled in some question wrongly in the form, or immigration is missing something? Thanks

lilann, Snaik is quite correct. I too did the same as you, booked chest x-ray, HIV bloods and general medical. However when I got there, she asked me my occupation and advised that I also had to have the Hep B and C bloods done also. I did not get this free and had to pay an extra charge of $99 on the day. It was also required for my 457 visa previously.

We're October 189 applicant-ees!! Good luck everyone! :-)

Nursebucko, I also uploaded colour documents uncertified. I think it's best to declare that you suffer from depression and are on citalopram. This is unlikely going to affect your medicals results.

Yes your husband need to prove his ability to speak english. I am not sure if a british passport is sufficient evidence, I would double check on this!

If your husband has a British passport, this is all he needs
