Captain Roberto Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 @Nursebucko Sydney (somewhere). By early August (latest), as my wife has to complete Ahpra by early sept. Exciting/scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nursebucko Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 You are right it is exciting/scary. We have wanted this for years...but now it's really starting to happen and we lodged our visa I've been getting quite scared aswell as excited!! So much change!! Can't wait though.. Sydney is a great place! I noticed you saying your wife has ahpra already, good on her! I'm one of the diploma casualties! So I'm having to do a top up degree now..otherwise it's a change of career for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the looks of the other threads 189 July/August applications are being seen now so seems to be 2 months min. before we hear anything Thanks Bradley, I completed my medicals on 24/10/2014 but when I open my on-line profile it still says "required". If I download the HAP Form it is showing completed. Do you think anything wrong with my status?

Zeebeth Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey all thought I'd join this thread! We lodged our visa on 13/10/14 and have now completed the medicals and police checks. I'm hoping we get the grant before Christmas - although we won't be telling family until after January 10th as we know MiL won't take it well, it's my husband's 30th on 10th Jan so we want him to have a nice birthday before the sulking from family begins!

liliannn Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hello all I have some enquiry about the medical. as a nurse, is it required to include hepatitis B and C in the blood test? But when I asked about the clinic and gave my HAPID, it is not required. Wonder if I filled in some question wrongly in the form, or immigration is missing something? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi. My wife is a nurse and was required to do those tests. We did this 7 days ago. If on doubt, call the hospital you are using for the medical and clarify you are a nurse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaik Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I am a nurse too. When I rang the clinic they didn't mention the hep b&c test so I just paid the same fee as my husband. However when having the medical the doctor asked about my occupation and told me I needed to have them. Therefore I basically had them done free of charge! Hello all I have some enquiry about the medical. as a nurse, is it required to include hepatitis B and C in the blood test? But when I asked about the clinic and gave my HAPID, it is not required.

Captain Roberto Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 @snaik - that's good how ow long does it normally take for the medicals to get processed? We did ours a week ago, but they don't seem to have been completed yet. Any advice welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liliannn Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Thank you matthewroberts and snaik for the quick reply. I have just lodged my application. Matthewroberts I think the time of medical processing depends on your clinic, did they upload the health check result already online? (My clinic said 5days to upload) Maybe you can call to ask, and if there is no abnormality of the result, they will process it one to two weeks. it will reflect on your immi account. Where it says Health Requirement it will change to say something like 'health requirement has been finalized for this applicant." So, You could also maybe check with your clinic if the results have been uploaded. and how about you guys ahpra registration? I am a degree nurse and applied in late May, and after I gave additional document at the beginning of oct, and they said until that time, they have received all the documents..and it has been one month again and never heard back from them.

Captain Roberto Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 @Lilliann - Our health checks haven't been finalised yet. It's my wife who is the nurse. she got the Ahpra from application to LOD in about 7 weeks. Maybe she got lucky? anyway, it should be ok if you have the right qualification.

But when I asked about the clinic and gave my HAPID, it is not required. Wonder if I filled in some question wrongly in the form, or immigration is missing something? Thanks lilann, Snaik is quite correct. I too did the same as you, booked chest x-ray, HIV bloods and general medical. However when I got there, she asked me my occupation and advised that I also had to have the Hep B and C bloods done also. I did not get this free and had to pay an extra charge of $99 on the day. It was also required for my 457 visa previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaik Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Our doctor said he would have our medicals uploaded 7-10 days after as he had to wait for the test results and only worked in the private clinic once a week! Anyway he did as he said and I think the status on the immi account changed at that point. @snaik - that's good how ow long does it normally take for the medicals to get processed?

snaik Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hi Liliannn, I applied for APHRA in august, supplied extra info in september and heard no more since. I only have a diploma so am waiting for a reply to offer me the bridging course. Can't believe it can take them so long just to refuse registration!! Anway good luck with yours.

liliannn Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hi, my medicals were uploaded within 3 days.....got AHPRA reg yesterday. I am diploma trained with a bsc honours in dementia studies. I applied in April. Hi wats , may I know When was the time that you have given all the document to AHPRA? I hope I can hear from them soon too. do you send email or call them regularly to push them faster? i am in similar timeframe with you ~just hand in the application one month after. and by the way, do you guys know if there any requirement to work as your profession within one year before applying the visa ?

Jilldesp Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hi Wulber, Your medical results will be uploaded directly you never actually see them. We lodged in October, told CO takes 7-8 weeks and then ? Medicals! Agent said she will let us know wen we need to get them done. I assume this is right?
