  1. Well - I started my AHPRA application in February. Well after the 10th of February - so I cant use that (as Im well into the new criteria bracket).

     

    From what I understand, AHPRA is being put under enormous pressure to provide jobs for its own graduate nurses. As its quite an embarassing situation for them - as their own newly qualified nurses are just not finding jobs. So - it seems AHPRA have slammed on the brakes on the incoming international nurses. But - it appears as if they did it really badly. They just decided to do it without consulting anyone else it appears - which is so odd.

     

    I mean - what is the point of actually having an acreditation body - if.... their findings - their conclusion is rejected by the then respective body. I mean - that just does not add up. I mean what was the point of me applying to ANMAC!?! I mean - at the time I thought it strange... to apply to two seperate bodies for exactly the same thing... I mean ANMAC and AHPRA have effectively replicated the entire process. But - to them, its easy money - and ANMAC was just another money hoop for them to cash in on.

     

    I have been on the phone to AHPRA every week also, more than twice a week sometiems. ANd the people I speak to on the phone at AHPRA - JUST DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. It makes me wonder what they actually do - all they can say is "its being processed" and that is it. What a great job those people have. I just feels like a stitch up. I sometimes try and engage them into a conversation about how ANMAC is the acreditation body for AHPRA - but the people that answer the phone just dont have a clue - At All. And them answering the phones is a fire wall to getting to anyone with any answers.

     

    The other thing I keep thinking about - is, I am just a "Diploma nurse". And I am telling you - my nurse training was hard. But to then feel like your Diploma is cheapend like this - is gutting. It was a 3 year hard slog.

  2. I know its weird isnt it. Because if AHPRA will refuse Diploma nurses - why the long wait. why does AHPRA ask for all the extra evidence - and keep on demanding more information during the whole process - when at the end of it - they just refuse you for something that could have been dorted out right at the beginning of the process.

     

    I have spent thousands on this project - and so much time and effort.

  3. Hi,

     

    Well. Thats it then. Atleast it softens the blow for me. I have to say that I am absolutly gutted.

     

    I am still waiting for my AHPRA result. I did ANMAC as well. And ANMAC acredited my Diploma as an Australian Degree.

     

    Surely - you can appeal on the grounds your Diploma is acredited as a Degree by the Acreditation board for nurses - which is ANMAC. That is the only thing I can think of. After all isnt the brisging program acredited by ANMAC?

     

    I saw this on British Expats

     

    Someone is trying to take a CLASS ACTION against AHPRA. I emailed them - and am still waiting to see if they will reply - to see if its genuine. But basicaly it seems as if someone is trying to build a case against AHPRA - on the grounds that you have been granted a visa to lvie in Oz on the virtue of being a nurse but cant actually work?! - which seems like a scandal. No Australian wants you to be there not working.... surely. If that happened in the UK - there would be a public outcry!!! On all the front pages of all the right wing papers... !

     

     

     

    It seems a Lawyer or someone is trying to build a case against AHPRA. But it is hard to know if it is a scam or not - See more at: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/jobs-c....WaCMhcfT.dpuf - See more at: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/jobs-careers/203873-diploma-nurses-have-any-recently-got-ahpra-registration.html#post1936549168

  4. Yes I take your point - but why would they take just so long to make a decision based on something so elementary as not having a Degree - they have been asking me for extra evidence all the time (sylabus, etc...) all 37 pages etc... it is just weird I cant do the bridging program (even if I get that) - because of the cost and also because it seems you cant apply for a student visa either. So that option is out Is there anywhere I can find out about what NZ's requirements are please?... as alternative option ALso, does anyone know of any Diploma nurses that have recently succesfully achieved AHPRA registration please? I am waiting for AHPRA's decision since February. I am a Diploma nurse - and I am very worried because there seems to be some people being refused because they do not have a Degree. I got ANMAC acreditation (for degree) - but that aparantly does not count. And weirdly - I actually have a job waiting for me in Oz. And also, my agent who found the job for me seems to think I will get AHPRA. And yet if you look at this forum - it seems that Diploma nurses are being refused Can anyone help please?

  8. Have any Diploma nurses recently succesfully been accepted by AHPRA?

     

    I am waiting for a decision from AHPRA and I am a Diploma nurse with a small CPD module I just completed at University.

     

    Does this mean that I will be refused by AHPRA?

     

    Why would they string me along like this for so long? I did the ANMAC and then applied to AHPRA - and have constantly supplied evidence that AHPRA have requested over a period of months - and then to be refused at the end of that long process for something so simple as not having a degree just does not make sense. Why didnt they tell me that at the beginning of the application process - it would have saved us both a lot of agravation? - See more at: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/jobs-careers/198551-whats-happening-aphra-53.html#sthash.YjzXgaB8.dpuf

  10. Hi there,

     

    I am a UK Diploma trained nurse ( a 3 year university course ) and I was assessed by ANMAC as having equivalent to a degree. But, I am still waiting for a decision from AHPRA since February this year.

     

    Has anyone, who has a nursing Diploma, recently succesfully registered with AHPRA please? As I am starting to get very worried.

     

    Thanks

  14. Hi there,

     

    Does anyone know please... if the UK nursing diploma is still accepted by AHPRA.

     

    I made my application in February - and I have still had no reply.

     

    I do know they have new regulations regarding criteri 1 and 8 - and that criteria 8 is pharmocology and pharmokinetics. I feel unsure that my course covered those areas. I graduated in 2012

     

    Has anyone recently achieved AHPRA registration who is in a similar situation as myself please?
