Louhods Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi All. UK midwife here. Wanting a skilled visa ASAP! still cannot seem to find out if I can do English test, ANMAC skills assessment then EOI or if I need to be APRHA registered before I do this?? Im happy to register once I have a visa if this is possible. So I suppose I'm asking can I apply for skilled visa without being APRHA registered?? English test booked :-) hoping to do some traveling on the way so was hoping wouldn't matter if the APRHA Reg took a bit longer. Please help.

VERYSTORMY Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You need the skills assessment before you do an EOI and if you are claiming points for the English test or require the English test for your skills assessment then you need to do this before the EOI as well. You don't need to gain registration before the visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can sort APRHA after as you just need that to get a job I presume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushpiglet Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You don't have to do AHPRA first but they can be hit and miss on how long it takes to hear back...some seem to hear quickly, others wait for a long time. My advice would be to apply to AHPRA early on as if there are any problems or delays with the registration you won't be able to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Many do it in tandem with the visa, but it is up to you and how quickly after grant you think you will make the move and need to start working. If you want to do it quickly, then I would do it in tandem as it can take a fair while. It has improved from last year when it was taking a year or more, but still assume several months.

Also remember you need to be degree qualified to get registration , also as part of the process to register as a midwife you have to evidence a number of continuity of care episodes which many UK midwives struggle to achieve (search previous threads on this) good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a degree. I have also done continuity of care in my degree recently so fingers crossed. The AHPRA form looks very complicated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniDeni Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi, good luck with it all Louhods! I am waiting for my AHPRA registration any day now - checking my emails is the first thing I do in the morning! Like others have said you can do it at the same time or after. I wish I had done mine earlier but I wrongly thought I would be paying registration for the time I was still in the UK - I didn't realise it doesn't take effect until I arrive! My uni degree did have continuity of cares too but I will be registered with conditions as most UK midwives are. Unless you have evidence of 10 continuity of cares and delivered at least 5 I believe. The website is confusing but it does get a bit easier to navigate the more you read it! Whereabouts are you looking at going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louhods Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 We are looking at Brisbane. Was looking at Adelaide but there didn't seem to be as many jobs? So it doesn't seem to of taken long from ANMAC to visa?? So I have booked IELTS then going to do ANMAC and AHPRA at the same time. can't wait we are all so excited just want to go! No I don't have the 5 births bit. :-/ can you work in something else whilst you wait for registration do you know? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyogunn Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hi all, I've recently started my registration and visa journey. My ANMAC docs have been received but the NMC overseas certificate is taking ages to be processed and sent on to ANMAC & AHPRA. Does anyone have a timeline of how long NMC usually take? many thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a timeline of how long NMC usually take? many thanks, Tom Nmc standards say 10 day turnaround. After waiting 39 and cheque being processed on day 2. I called and shouted at some woman. As it was "on her desk and would be done by end of the week" I called back and it wasn't. I've put in a complaint which the standards say 20 days. It's now 30. They are useless as always, but will take your cash. Call them and take someone's name and number and hound them till its done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige03 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I am in the same boat too with NMC. I requested the info online on 10th April, received the application pack 13 days later, sent this off immediately, NMC cashed my cheque on 30th April and nothing has still been sent. I phoned last Friday, spoke to the Verification team and like you Priscilla was told it was on her desk and would be sent this week....not so sure now!

Take a name and direct number. Call them back after an agreed time. We shouldn't have to do this for a paid service however the nmc have more than proved their incompetence in this any many other areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any luck on yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Priscilla101 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I have provisional registration. But another forum on here the nurses state that to pick it up at AHPRA office takes 2 weeks to collect. And you need the nmc thing within 3 months (so may need it sent again) and the fit2work in 3 months which means doing that again. Very frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige03 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Sorry, didn't realise. Wish I was where you are! I was just reading that on another thread, it is very frustrating...more money, more stress. Better be worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
