ClaireyD Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi, Just wondering, we've got our AHPRA approval and job offers. Still to arrange medicals and apply for our visa's. We're being sponsored on 457's and are about to submit the forms. Do we need to get original documents verified by a notary or can we scan and send ourselves. AHPRA took so long we just want to get this bit right. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Claire xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachall Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi Flinty Just to let you medical went well. Quick questionnaire on past medical history, ie any long stays in hospital, any extended stays outside the UK, any history of hep c and b etc. Had a blood test, height, weight, eyesight test, chest x ray and brief medical exam with Dr. All good on paper, upload to e visa takes 7 - 10 days.

Wildrover Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi Guys Wonder if any of you can help or had experience of this We will be applying for AHPRA registration early next year my wife has a UK HE dip nursing with three years experience (know about the extras required from previous posts :biggrin: ie IV pack etc) My question is once we have Registration does the UK Diploma (with extra professional experience) have equivalance to a degree for the DIAC points test? DIAC says here http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/definitions.htm >>Acceptable Qualification Only study that has resulted in an applicant completing a degree, diploma or trade qualification can be counted towards an acceptable qualification. A degree includes a bachelor and any higher degree and advanced diplomas. Study not resulting in a degree, diploma or trade qualification will not be considered.<< It looks like it might do just wondered if any of you know?

chrisy Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi all, just thought Id type up my story so far its been a long wait... July 2011 we decided to move to Oz ( me , husband and 2 kids), met up with a ruthless migration agent who cutting a long story short ripped us off £1000 and to date ignores our calls!! Then we changed agency where I was told to sit an academic IELTS exam (horrible) then I had my skills assessed with ANMAC this took about 3 months to get, then I was told I needed to score 8 in all areas of the IELTS and on the reading exam I scored 7.5 gutted! So decided to do the sponsored 457 route. It has been a real long drawn out process and I haven't enjoyed it one bit!! In march 2012 I attended a seminar at Australia house in London where I met prospective nursing agencies who all promised the world and I handed my Cv out to them all but they all said that I would need my AHPRA registration first so end of April I sent off my application to the Brisbane office ( this was where I intended to live) this was a big mistake and took over 5 months to receive! they were very unhelpful on the phone and didnt bother to tell me they needed further documents until 3 months had passed! In the meantime I had many agencies in contact with me but they all said the same thing really in that sponsorship was very hard to find in Brisbane (I'm a Midwife) so after many weeks we changed our minds and decided to try NSW, I also changed agencies and went with ELMVIA Healthcare recruitment I have to say that they have been fantastic and found me interviews in places that we actually wanted to live as other agencies could only get me sponsorship in the middle of nowhere! in August I had an interview for a private hospital in NSW and the job appears to be fab, completely different to what I'm used to here with the NHS and I cant wait! we applied for the 457 visa on the 15th September and had already had the medicals done on the 1st September as my husband has a medical issue and we assumed they would be referred which they were, on the 24th Sept the medicals now say finalised and that's it we are now waiting for the visa to be granted, I have to say to everyone that moving to Australia is not a quick thing and also a very expensive thing to do so be sure you want to go, as for me I cant wait to go we have sold our house and I resigned today with a clause that if my visa wasn't granted I would withdraw my resignation! It has cost thousands but I know it will be worth it in the end. We have been led up the garden path and back but thank god for Elmvia recruitment as they have put me back on the straight and narrow and actually delivered what they promised! Fingers crossed that all will be well and the visa will be granted any day now!! Very Inspiring.. Wish u good luck with everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
