Has anyone applied for full skills assessment on ANMAC? I started the process, my iPad then said error occurred. When logging back into ANMAC it says complete but I haven’t paid any money or uploaded documents, and it’s not letting me do either. Is this a normal part of process? Am I just waiting to hear from them before I can pay and go any further?

Any help appreciated 

Hi , 

just wonerding if anyone can recommend a good MARA agent to use to assist with choosing best visa option and moving forward with process.  Thank you

Sorry I see want signature bit is now. How long did the process take from first sending docs to ANMAC to actually getting a visa and moving, and also want visa did you go out on, 189?

Before you go the the painful and expensive lengths of registration I would look at the demand for nurses in Australia and you will see it is now limited.  Most states no longer sponsor nurses and whilst its still on the list for immigration, the job market is not what it was.  Before you start your journey, I would just say it is a very expensive one, that will land you in a very expensive county, and whilst nurses earn quite a bit more than the UK, its relative to the living expenses in OZ.  I was on placements with nurses who were really frustrated about their inability secure full time employment, most were bitting and batting with part time contracts here and there, trust me its dire right now.

I’m desperate to live in Oz though. First time I visited it just felt like home

Brisbane's PA hospital had a huge sign outside advertising for nurses when i was there a couple of weeks ago, yet my friend who works at Lady Cilento has just had her hours chopped back,so don't be put off if one place says no.

Hi, I’m children’s trained but have always worked with neonates. Very specialised but also very narrow field for work. I would really like to live and work Sunshine Coast ideally. I love Brisbane however and wouldn’t say no to working there if the opportunity arose.

You can start with either ANMAC or AHPRA. The drawback to applying to AHPRA first, is that once they approve your registration in principle, you have 3 months to show up in person to prove your identity and obtain your registration.

 

Depending on the complexity of your education/work history, it might be a good idea to gather all documentation and try for AHPRA.

 

If you think your education/work history is straight forward (one university, one or 2 jobs) maybe apply to ANMAC first or at the same time.

 

 

 

You can see from my signature below my timeline for AHPRA and ANMAC

 

Hi, thank you for your response. I’m gathering my paperwork together to send to ANMAC. My work history is straight forward and I’m hoping education/ training will satisfy AHPRA. Diploma trained, but since have completed three level six modules and a dissertation to complete to degree status. Once I have approval from ANMAC, I’m wondering if I need to consider having a MARA agent to suggest best visa option and to assist with process? What’s the signature thing?

Hi, 

I am a paediatric nurse who has just topped up to a degree, got 8.5 on ielts, have over 11years nursing experience, unfortunately I’m 43! Looking at point calculators I think I have 65 points. Thank god for ielts score. I’ m just not sure what to do next and have had lots of conflicting advice. Do I first have to send documents/ application form to nursing and Midwifery board of Australia? Then ANMAC. Anyone out there gone through this process?  Any advice appreciated, I’m hoping to go out on 189 visa. I think I need to complete all the nurses paper bit before EOI though.
