louloubelle Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Nursing question? I've started applying for mental health nursing jobs, no luck so far but I have been advised by a couple of organisation that a need to be credentialed with the Australian college of mental health to be considered for the post. I've looked into this and the process looks really quite complicated (and costly), very much like applying to AHPRA with all the evidence I need to supply and all documents certified. Of course if it will help secure employment I will do it, just wanted to know if others have applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Where are you looking to work? I'm off to Melbourne in January, plenty of jobs there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louloubelle Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'm going to Perth, not as good for jobs there I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The freeze on public health sector jobs hasn't completely been lifted. Credentialing is a complicated process - a lot of nurses I know haven't bothered (it's expensive too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louloubelle Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah I've been looking its more tricky than AHPRA but I might have to just get it done if employers are requesting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never been one of the criteria for jobs that I've either applied for or recruited for in public health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louloubelle Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes, most of the jobs that are coming at the moment are for the private sector. People in the UK are worried about revaluation for their nmc registration, they should try credentialing!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
