Freesia Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 you've said previously that you did only a 6 month Certificate in Nursing- this is not equivalent even to an Enrolled nurse course afaik- (your previous education does not count.) Where did you do this training? As you've tried before it seems like AHPRA do not recognise this training as standard . Which country are you from?

Guest Han ButlerSpelzini Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hey! This forum is fab, I've spent ages reading through people's experiences and advice! Just wondered if anyone out there could help?! I'm a band 5 nurse in England and wanting to emigrate to oz ASAP with my husband. I have received my letter of eligibility from ahpra and am now trying to seek employment and sponsorship before we move out there. I am constantly told that getting a job/sponsorship would be no problem and they're crying out for nurses but I'm finding it fairly difficult. Wondering if I'm looking in the wrong places?! Any help or advice for would be fabulous and so greatly appreciated. anyone out there need an enthusiastic, young nurse?! Hope it's lovely and hot out there for you guys... It's not so great in England right now look forward to hearing back thanks in advance Hannah x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way my study in Nursing was of 4 years.:laugh: "I had mandatory schooling for 8 years (age 7-14), and than i was studyng in Secondary Nursing School for 4 years (age 15-19) and got Certificate in Nursing. I did the 6 months traineeship, so I got the licence too and i'm competent to work in Healthcare industry as enrolled nurse in all EU stetes." Yep I read this summary of your "training"...........:eek: what is the name of your Nursing Qualification then? & which country? This might be why you don't qualify as far as Aus is concerned...

What you probably need to do first though is identify an area where you want to live (it's such a huge place!) & narrow down your search from there. Identify the local hospitals & approach directly. or go to http://www.seek.com.au for jobs that might offer sponsorships. There will be other sites for heathlworkers but I'm not familiar with them...someone else might be along shortly to give you better advice, but trawl through http://www.google.com.au to start off with researching areas ,cities,employers,schools etc. the only othere issue is whether you would prefer a permanent Visa straight off ..many employers will offer a 457...but permanent sponsorship would be better...http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect.

BeeBoDee Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hello! I just wondered if anyone could help me out with a query I have about the Academic Transcript that ANMAC need to see from uni. I've obtained two copies, both of which are stamped, but my agent suggests I also ask the uni to sign them too. He also said the name of the person who signed should appear and possibly their email + / - phone number too. I have contacted the uni to ask if they would mind doing all of this, and they were happy to do so. However they asked if ANMAC had a form that needed to be completed with the transcript and also asked if there was any specific wording that needed to be used. I've had a look at the ANMAC site and can't see anything that even says the transcript needs a signature. I can't fault my agent so far - he's been very helpful, but I do wonder if he may be trying to cover all bases so that I'm not sending documentation backwards and forwards. We're still in the very early stages of the migration progress - I have my IELTS in January but am trying to get things organised early so that we're not panicking last minute. I just wondered if anyone else has had any experience of signatures etc. on the transcript? Any advice grateful received - thank you! xx P.S. Sorry if this question has already been asked, this is quite a long thread to look through completely for answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katix020 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi, I am a childrens nurse practising in the UK at the moment. I have received a job at Sydney Childrens hospital with sponsorship. I gained my APHRA last weekend and am now in the process of gaining my visa and booking my medicals. I keep reading about ANMAC, and skills assessments do I need to do this or not? Getting a little confused and don't want to miss anything? Has anyone gone through the sponsorship process before? Any tips you could give me would be truly grateful. Thanks Katie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachall Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Hi katix020 I assume you are going on a 457 employer sponsored. So no you don't need ANMAC or a skills assessment unless you intend to apply for a pr visa before your two years with your new employer. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katix020 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks Rachall. I think we will apply for pr after 2 years of being over there. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachall Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 This would be sensible, your employer may even sponsor you for pr after the 2 yrs. A lot do. The only risk on the 457 is if you're not happy or lose your job you have 28 days to find someone to take over your visa or leave the country. I too am going to sydney on a 457.

Joeybee Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi folks, I am looking to move to Oz in September 2013 with my husband and am soon to complete my AHPRA application for registration. I have one query - if I receive my registration so soon before moving, do I need to prove evidence continuing employment/practice (like you do when renewing NMC's PIN?). I'm a bit worried that my registration will lie idle for months before I move and start working over there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 hiya once you have submitted your forms to AHPRA it can take a couple of months for it to complete, they will then send you an eligibility to practice letter which gives you a year from the date of the letter to get to Australia and finalise registration so it doesnt matter if you dont go right away. You don't need to prove you have been working for the last year but once you get there provide evidence of your address, visa and letter of offer for job. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybee Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Samc - thank you so much! I think I'm going to love this forum. You can get information on a much more personal level than google can provide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma83 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi Guys I have an interview with NSW Health next week for mental health nurse positions. Anybody got any interview experience they would be kind enough to share? From what I have been told they have multiple positions throughout NSW for all branches of nursing so are doing face to face interviews in the UK next week. I have some example questions from the recruitment agency but they are you basic strengths/weaknesses questions. Any other mental health nurses got any advise they would be willing to share? I think I am finding it harder because I do not know the exact position I am applying for (apparently they discuss what positions they have that they feel you would be suitable for at the interview). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samc Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 hiya emma, Not got many tips for you but i also have an interview next week here in the uk for new south wales, mines in manchester on tuesday. Im also finding it difficult although mine is for neonatal nursing, but i don't know what hospital it is for so cant research around it which is a struggle. getting very nervous now, just wanted to wish you luck!! sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma83 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi Sam Good luck to you too. My interview is also in Manchester but on Wednesday. I am also finding it really difficult not knowing which hospital/type of ward (as there are very different kinds of wards in mental health) as I can't do any specific research. Hopefully this time next week we will both have some good news. Would be great if you could let me know what kind of things they ask you on Tuesday though.

Guest lulum1986 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 For those of you who have done the APHRA applications did it take you a long time? Im looking to go to oz sept 2013. But ive been advised to do the application around march only because i havent done my IVs yet and havent long been qualified just to get a bit more experience under my belt.
