That's really helpful thank you all!! Getting the AHPRA sent off tomorrow then next stop IELTS so I can start ANMAC!

Are you registered with the RCN? They will cover you in Australia? My first agency I worked for in Australia included indemnity insurance whilst I was employed by them. Where are you sending your application? I would avoid sending it to Sydney or Melbourne. I sent my application to Perth and it took 6 weeks to process. Good luck

Im a registered children's nurse. I just don't understand the question and what I need to do for it. So I ticked yes. I'm planning to send my application to perth. I then have to start the process for ANMAC And visa but thought I would start with AHPRA with the view of potentially getting a working visa.

Hello!! After months if trying to get letters and certs/transcripts and getting them all signed I am finally ready to send it all off to AHPRA but I just have one question I need help with... q.21 on the form AGOS-40

'do you commit to have appropriate professional indemnity insurance arrangements in place for all practice undertaken during the registration period'

I have in pencil ticked yes- but I actually have no idea what this means :err: Is this something I should already have?????

Right ok- thank you. I will look into contacting the examination boards. And I will contact my uni on Monday- having spoken to them before they told me they are aware of the process and the requirements and I will just reiterate to them what I needt.

A family member has kindly offered financial support so that we can explore all of our options because initially we were going it alone and we were first off going to attempt PR on 189 but we do not have the full 60 points. I have attempted x2 IELTS tests 1 general and 1 academic I achieved 7's on the general and got 6.5 on the academic for writing so I am really reluctant to attempt the academic IELTS again. We therefore thought right we will just get working visas just to get out there and we will either be temporarily or permanently although it seems a long way round and a bit hit or miss.

Alternatively if I get registered with AHPRA I could do the modified assessment with ANMAC thereby omitting the academic IELTS and if need be retake the general test to attempt scoring 8 because I feel that is more achievable than scoring 8s on the academic test.

As you can see I feel exhausted just writing this all down so I feel that a bit of help and support with all of this would be beneficial to us. And I just don't want a silly mistake to mess things up!!

Well thank you all again for your help!!

I have are a feeling that I'm going to have a problem with providing evidence of my GCSEs because I remember not having the certificates when I applied to university and they accepted a letter from my secondary school saying that I had achieved them and the results because I remember being quoted something like £300 to get the certificates re-issued. Also there were different exam boards for different subjects. Do you think if I found that letter that my school initially typed with my results and then a further letter saying I attended and was taught and assessed in English- this should be enough??

This pharmacological part...? When I contact the university do I just ask them to include this when sending my transcripts? Or do I ask them to write a letter explaining that pharmacology was part of my course?

Also so we have recently been offered some money to explore our options with a migration agent...any suggestions from nurses who have used migration services.

Thanks again!

Thank you @mgreaves that's all really helpful. I did also contact someone at WAGO who was very helpful. So she seems to think that if I provide a letter from each school stating that was taught and assessed in English and hopefully this would be suffice because I went to primary school around 25 years ago so have very little evidence because I didn't take exams. Also I have done the same for my secondary school and college the alternative would be to certify all my certificates (however I don't have actual copies of GCSE cents because I lost them ) How has everyone provided their education and English although I know this is a new part of the form as of August 2015.

With thy the uni transcripts do I just contact my university? Or do I have send specific form that they have on the AHPRA website.

From my understanding I need:

certified copy of passport

NMC to send confirmation of registration

uni to send transcripts

CV and statement of service from work- is there a template? (Sorry to ask I just find the AHPRA website flicks in and out of different links and before you know it you can't be back to where you were?????)

confirmation from schools and colleges of attendance

anything else??!! Going from everything I've seen its not going to be that simple I'm sure!!

Thanks again

Hello! I, starting the APRHA application AGOS-40 and I have a few questions- I did try emailing APRHA but they didn't answer any questions I asked!

please help.....

Section D Q's 6 & 7

In this section do you require both my residential address and place of work and in which order. Question 6 asks for my residential address but question 7 asks for my principal place of practice in Australia-????? What address do I put where?

Section G

Since qualifying 18 months ago I have been employed by one hospital prior to this I was at university full time for three years and before that I worked within a company outside of nursing which has now ceased trading; therefore I am unable to provide a Statement of Service from them. How do I provide evidence of this that will suffice?

Question 17

I believe that my English competency is classed as within the Primary language pathway in terms of providing evidence for primary and secondary education- what evidence do I need to provide to prove this? (My primary schooling was in South Africa over 20 years ago).

Also so the part about indemnity insurance...am I right in thinking that the NMC provide our indemnity insurance so I can just tick the box yes?

Thank you you again in advance!

@supercow I have come acrossed your thread and have found it an excellent read!

I am a nurse looking to start the application process and due to insufficient points for the permanent visa I am relying on maximum points on the IELTS test. Having now read your post I had a look of the PTE Academic website and the ANMAC website where I need a skills assessment I don't think the PTE Is an accepted English assessment...do you know if that is the case? I would appreciate your opinion and possible knowledge.

Going by your written English mine is definitely not that good!! :dull:

Thank uou again!
