pacticenurse Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Personally, I think ANMAC is a waste of time and money if you have AHPRA registration. ANMAC basically tells DIAC that the applicant's credential is equivalent to that of Australian nursing standards. So really, they're "questioning" those with AHPRA registration whether they're qualified or not, which in turn "questions" AHPRA's judgement. If they're waiving ANMAC for those with a job sponsor and 2 years Australian work experience, why not waive it for someone applying for an independent skilled visa with claims of Australian experience? I'm registered with AHPRA and been working here in Australia for almost a year. I applied for ANMAC skills assessment last 25th of February and I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE LOD! And it's a MODIFIED ASSESSMENT!!!!! That's really frustrating, hope it comes through soon for u!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessie1970 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi I sent my modified skills assessment paperwork to ANMAC on the 7th March and got an email today to say my letter of determination is in the post. Good luck everyone! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazboyle Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh #frustrated, I applied to AHPRA on 12 th February and they contacted me on 3rd April to say they had not received my NMC verification status or completion certificate of my nursing from 20 yrs ago. I have now been emailing questions and have only a reply to again say they have not had my NMC verification status and completion certificate and they have not answered any of my questions. Does anyone know if I can chase up a recorded delivery re the NMC status and what are they looking for in a completion certificate? The NMC have said they will email AHPRA with my NMC verification status but the guy has never replied back been to that. Starting to get so frustrated Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharon Anmac insisted I had a graduation certificate which I didnt, I only had my ENB cert I got when qualified (1994), they then insisted I must have lost it! wtf! So I had to sign a stat dec stating I didnt have a certificate and that was accepted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon AHPRA Also said they had not received mine but then said it had been misplaced , they found it 3days later.. I have read though by other posts that they do accept an email from the NMC if it has been lost in the post.. It is frustrating when all the communication is just through email.. Good luck!

nomadgreen Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 this is really frustrating. 10 weeks wait for a MODIFIED ASSESSMENT. when is the best time to email ANMAC and ask them about what's going on? I know they don't like being asked, but what the heck, I'm entitled to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they don't like being asked, but what the heck, I'm entitled to know. I emailed them several times and initially got a computerised response then within 24 hours I got a response from a guy called Jason who works in the international section. You've waiting longer than me so get emailing! Good luck :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they get back to me within 24 hours. Otherwise, I'd keep emailing them I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they don't like being asked, but what the heck, I'm entitled to know. Do you know who is dealing with your application? I used to email on an evening UK time so it was in their inbox first thing and I usually got a reply when I got up the following morning. I think I did have one snotty email saying not to email but hey your paying them for a service it aint free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacticenurse Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What do they not like you to query things? For the money it costs you have a good right to see what is happening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is what they initially replied in Nov ' Please understand that our processing times are 14 weeks behind schedule due to a high volume or phone call and emails. Please refrain from contacting us directly, we will contact you when we reach your application. Your patience is much appreciated.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacticenurse Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 And do they not have an online page so that you can check your application progress? I was a nightmare waiting for AHPRA, and that was no where near as long as ANMAC take! :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 You used to be able to check your progress on line but not anymore! Can you do that with Ahpra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacticenurse Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 No, it's silly really, it would help stop as many people emailing and ringing! I sometimes think chasing it up when's its a while since you sent it gives them a push!! I don't think I would have had my AHPRA through yet if I hadn't been a little bit pushy! :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dermo1 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Can anyone help me regarding the application to AHPRA. I have applied for permanent residency so already received my 'letter of determination' from ANMAC. They have already had certified copies of certs, employer refs, NMC documentation etc, does this help towards my registration in Australia or will I need to certify all certs again/NMC docs etc and go through whole process again?

Aphra however do not forward to Anmac! Hope that helps x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadgreen Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 well i emailed ANMAC earlier this week. i didn't directly ask them about the status of my application since i know they don't want that. what i did is ask about a certain document and if it's gonna affect my application. well, it appears that based on their reply, they still have not touched my application. very frustrating. grrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
