chrisy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi All, This is my first thread. So please bear with me. We were planning to migrate to Oz on 457 visa. So I did my AHPRA. I am (I hope) about to receive my principle letter. I applied for AHPRA without IELTS as I was taught in English and I am a Native speaker. And AHPRA CO has confirmed receipt of all documents needed and escalated to Supervisor. Now we just found out I am expecting ( 6 weeks- first baby). Hence don't want to go on 457. We would better go on a PR if we could. My concern is do I need to do IELTS for skills assessment or can I apply for modified assessment with principle letter? Has anyone done that before? I did try IELTS once. But got only 6.5 in writing and 8 in everything else. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading. Regards, Ruby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If you are going down the GSM route as a Nurse, you will require the Academic IELTS, which is a requirement from ANMC for all internationally qulaified Nurses. Only Nurses from Australia and New Zealand are exempt. You might need the IELTS to pass the points test anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a pin number to do the modified ANMAC assessment. An in principle letter doesn't give you a pin number. You will need to do the academic IELTS. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
