Hey Molly,

Have you received the Modified skills assessment now?

How long does it take for the modified skilled assessment(ANMAC)? I submitted mine on 29th July 2019. One of my friend got her result after 3 weeks, another got her result after 23 days. How about yours? How long does it take recently? 

23days and 3wks are so quick.

ANMAC website mentioned 12-16wks.

I think the processing time might be up to the amount of applications they received and also if you have previous work experience need to be assessed.

A few of my friends they don't have work experience to be assessed and they got results back around one month.

Have you follow up the process when you log in your account?

Hi Rachel, 

If it was up to me I'd probably choose to go with medical. If that's what your professional reference says I don't see a reason why you should go with NEC? Did you work in Australia after you finished your bachelor degree there? But then gain, you're not claiming the 5 points so... If you send anmac your reference and your code as medical I can't see a reason why they'd reject it. 

Good luck

Thank you for your advice.

just the follow up: my agent still go it with nec. They said it doesn't matter as not claiming points.  I will just wait for the final result.

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. 

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi Peimika, 

I *think* chances for invitation actually depend on your ANZSCO code, so different for all types of registered nurses. I'm surgical and was invited within 3 days however, my friend who is NEC waited 4 months for invitation. Others I know with same points but different specialisation have been waiting for invitation since February. 

It would be only logical if they were inviting those who are most needed first. 

Hi Martina,

I have one question regarding to submitting modified skills assessment.

As my situation is that I worked overseas in medical ward for two years and my professional reference mentioned ANZSCO code Registered nurse(medical). And I am also got nursing bachelor degree in Australia this year.

When I wanna lodge the ANMAC application, I need to fill in one part which is "The ANZSCO code you are nominating to be assessed under____".

I contacted with agency, they advised that I should choose NEC as I got Australian degree and I also cant claim 5 points back. But my overseas work and professional reference mentioned Medical.I am not sure for this part in the application, do I need to choose Medical or NEC?

 As you know there might be a different waiting time for invitation based on the ANZSCO code. 

And one more thing, if I choose NEC on the application, after the officers assessed my professional reference, if they think I should belong to Medical, will they changed my nomination ANZSCO code based on the assessment by themselves or will they just reject this application because of two different ANZSCO code mixed in the assessment?

Thank you so much in advance. Appreciate!
