jack lemon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Calling all you nurses, can you plz help me? I av just turned 40 with nearly 2 yrs post reg experience. Once I have completed IELTS can I then apply to ANMAC even though I cant apply for the 190 visa until I have three years experience? I would like to get this out the way if it is at all possible. If not as ANMAC takes around 16 weeks could I apply to ANMAC 16 weeks before my three years experience? I have emailed ANMAC regarding the same however had no reply:mad: thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think you've answered your own question! Maybe wait until there's about 6 months left before your 3years? Can't remember if it's only valid for a certain length of time either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiegirl68 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 As Nic said, you've answered your own question, ielts is the 1st step, definitely get it under your belt, when I applied, it was valid for 2 years, so plenty of time to use it, once it's done. Do you need ielts for your points total? As if you do, good idea to do it now, and if you need to re-sit, you'll have plenty of time to do that! With regard to applying 16 weeks before your 3 years, I don't think you can do that, as all your documentation has to evidence 'claimed ' experience, therefore if you've not yet done it, you can't prove it. For example the NMC have to provide a 'verification of registration' which will show the date you first registered. You don't want that to that to show you applied too early! It's better to wait, it's an expensive do! Best not risk it before you have required experience under your belt! Hope that helps. Good luck!

jack lemon Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks for the reply guys, geordiegirl Yes i need the IELTS for the points, currently studying for that now. i will have my three years registration in march 2015 but i didn't get my first post until 9 weeks later which means i wont have my 3yrs ex until the beginning of June 2015. I was wondering as ANMAC takes approx. 16 weeks could i apply to ANMAC in the March as by the time the 16 weeks is up i will have passed the 3 year mark for experience if this makes sense? sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiegirl68 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi again, It makes sense, but, and someone more expert may come along to correct me, that you need the three years when you apply, as although it may take a while to process, the information has to be correct at the time you apply. When they receive the application, you will get an acknowledgement from them! And if they see you haven't got required experience, they'll just bat it back to you! For the sake of a 3-4 months, it's not worth the risk, or wasting $850! Hope that helps. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyliedonut Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Must you have 3 years experience for the 190 visa? Or is this simply for points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiegirl68 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi Kylie, she needs a positive ANMAC assessment to apply for the 190 visa, and the experience is a requirement for the ANMAC assessment, so I guess in a roundabout way, the 3 years are needed for the 190 visa! All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyliedonut Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Ah ok, I see where you're coming from now. I thought for Anmac, that the 3 years was established if you completed a 3 year degree at uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting Stars Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I got anmac positive assesment with no experience..I just had to provide academic transcript for my three years studying mental health nursing in the uk Good I'm glad you said that was just about to start worrying lol xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlornax Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think if your general nursing you need three months work experience to get positive assesment but mental health u dnt need any..that's what they told me anyway..I have experience but didnt need points for it so saved me messing about with references Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Stars Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That's fine I'm not applying until I've had that anyway because I will need my boss to give me a reference etc. Hoping to get probably over a year experience before we move. A while away yet though but still nice to know xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlornax Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah i wanted a years experience first too n im glad I did..good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyliedonut Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So in answer to original post... You can apply to Anmac, but if you needed the extra points (that the 3yr experience gives towards the 190 visa) you would need to wait....? Is that right?

xlornax Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes u can apply to anmac now..but if you are claiming points for experience or need it for a specific state then u need to wait till u can evidence that experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
