Same here.......12 months of frustration and then a point blank refusal to registration. I've started the appeal process with the State Administrative Tribunal.....goodbye to $10,000 apparently! Would appreciate a get together (I'm also based in Perth) PM me x

Nope.....definitely not speculation. I was offered a post in WA May 2013 and accepted. All relevant certificates of education, nursing qualification and post registration qualifications collated, certified and submitted to my prospective employer. Sadly the company did not submit my application to AHPRA until after we left the UK and arrived in Perth for my husband to start his position. The application was sent in later October, after a couple of weeks back and forth by email, additional requests from AHPRA for more information and documentation from the NMC including a transcription of my Registered General Nurse Training, my application went on hold..........there it stayed until June 2014 pending the assessment process against the new framework. In July I received a letter stating a proposal to refuse registration. An initial application to reason my extensive post registration education and 23 years of experience was met with a point blank refusal to registration on 22nd September 2014, not even an offer to support bridging. Therefore if you don't have a qualification equivalent to a Bachelor of Science, ie if you are old school, non diploma, non degree, then your RGN stands for nothing here, regardless of experience. The process is to apply to the State Administrative Tribunal at your own cost and go to mediation........$10,000 upwards..........
