Congrats!

Congrats!! I'm glad everything worked out well for you. I'm hoping to get the same luck soon, as time goes by my hopes are fading away. Just gotta wait and keep holding on Good luck with everything and keep us updated.

Any luck with invitation yet?

Yeah, from January they GENERALLY won't invite who's not already residing in NSW. That means that they might invite people from other states if they really need to, it will all depend on the number of EOI they will receive from NSW and the amount of positions to fill. At this point no one knows. If you're already thinking of moving back to NSW I would recommend to move as soon as possible and update your EOI to increase your chances.

I work in NSW, but I live in QLD in the gold coast, but I'm planning to move beyond the border soon.

Then your chances are good as now they won't invite who is not already in NSW. Keep us posted.

Do you live in NSW already?

I think offshore takes longer than onshore, but I'm not 100% sure about this. I think that for some states you need a job offer to apply from offshore.

Onshore or offshore?

How about 190 for NSW? Anyone knows if it's easy to get invitation in this state? I've got 80+5 points.

I agree with Martina, it can difference for invitation. For example for NSW 190, NEC RN have to meet an additional requirement to get state sponsorship. Do you still have to provide with reference letter from your previous employer if you go with NEC? If yes, then it wouldn't make a difference applying with medical or NEC ANZSCO code, even if you don't claim points.

Hi, I've got a similar experience. I worked in medical ward overseas. I've got Australian Nursing degree as well (not bachelor, but Graduate Certificate). I didn't claim points for experience but I went under medical ANZSCO anyway and had no problem with ANMAC.

Hi, I submitted in June with 65, then I updated last week with 70 when I got the NAATI result. I only submitted for 189 for now, I'll wait few months to see what happens in November, if I can claim more points for not being married.

Thank you for this information. I was trying to do the maths calculating how long I'd have to wait based on other nurses' experience, but they're all different ANZSCO.

Hi, I've submitted EOI for 189 with 70 points as well, I know people in our same situation have been waiting for few months. As Martina said you might get better chances with 190 depending on the state. Does anyone know if there's different chances to get invitation sooner if you're medical instead of critical care nurse or viceversa for example, or all registered nurses have same chances to get invited?

Hi! Same experience, I qualified in Italy and worked in the UK. I am now in Australia, I have completed the bridging program and I have AHPRA registration. Contact me if you need information on the pathway.
