Gaynor Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi Laura, You have given me hope, thanks! Can I ask, how did you present your CPD for APHRA? Did you get it notarised etc? I too am a Mental Health Nurse, Melbourne bound if I can get through all the firey hoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauracoldwell Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi,After reports from others, I expected mine to take 6 months minimum so applied early and mine only took 3 weeks as well, had the biggest shock. Like you, I didn't want to go within the year, I actually emailed the APHRA office and explained the situation that I had been offered a job but didn;'t expect to go until a certain date and they extended my eligibility letter by 3 months and sent me a new letter. Tracey Hey Traceyd, Thanks for this info I have emailed them and they have offered me an extention until August 2013 so thats great news. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to hearing from you in due course. Kind Regards, Laura Coldwell. This is literally all I sent to AHPRA, along with this covering letter. I paid £150 for my notary public (anyone in my area, I am happy to provide his name and number as he was cheap and fantastic) and sent my application by post office track and trace for £13.00. I did not include GCSE's or A-levels, which was a worry due to lost certificates. If anyone would like to see an "AHPRA acceptable" CV, university transcripts or CPD evidence just PM me your email address and ill send it over. I have also attached a copy of the AHPRA guidelines for CV format.

Regards, Muneef What's your profession? AHPRA is the registration body, it does not do skills assessments to satisfy the visa requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
