Nook Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hi all I have done my nursing training in Australia and I'm registered with AHPRA. After graduating in 2015, I have been working for an agency since Feb 2016. However, as a causal agency RN, there is no fixed working hours. Some weeks over 30 hours while some weeks have no shift at all. To apply Visa 190, I need an extra 5 points to make it up to 60 points. As I'm not a native English speaker, I'm not confident to obtain 20 points from "superior level" English. (But I'm still trying and going to have PTE in Dec. IETLS last year L9, R9, W7, S7). Therefore, claiming 5 points from "Skill Employment" is another option (as I only have about 1 year experience). Does anyone have any idea if ANMAC is only assessing; A) your eligibility of nominating Registered Nurse as occupation or B) your working experience to claim points in "Skill Employment" as well? To claim points in "Skill Employment", does it strictly need to be 20 paid working hours per week? Or can my annual hours be averaged into weeks? Thank you in advance if you could share your thought.

Jenki75 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Did you ever get an answer regarding the number of hours per week, or averaging hours for the year? If so, what is the minimum hours per week or per year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Immigration requires a minimum of 20 hours per week. They should accept an average of this. Some people work one week on one week off for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
