archlever Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 As of the 4th of February 2015, all new applicants who have lived outside of Australia for more than 6 months need to apply for a International Criminal History Check, before sending their application to AHPRA. This check needs to include ALL countries that you have lived in from more than 6 months from the age of 18. Here is the link: http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Registration/Registration-Process/Criminal-history-checks/International-Criminal-History.aspx Something to be aware of for new applicants or if your application will land with AHPRA after the 4th.

Wildrover Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It looks like it's for practitioners and GP's only though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iscashe Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Does anyone have any experience of this yet? I have twice taken 'gap' years to go travelling, do I have to get checked for every country I've been through? Could take a while...:err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archlever Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 It looks like it's for practitioners and GP's only though I'm afraid it's for all professions as the change has been endorsed by all National Boards. I have looked at the nursing registration form and the criminal history check appears there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"have lived, or been primarily based in one or more countries other than Australia for six consecutive months or longer, when aged 18 years or more." Make of that what you will. Were you based in one country for more than six months in your gap year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iscashe Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I spent around 7 months in Turkey, and around 8 months in Saudi Arabia, but with both of those left the countries for breaks every couple of months to go to renew visas or have holidays (but not back to UK). Not sure if that counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
