Mr and mrs galloway A nurses skills assessment is carried out by ANMAC not APHRA and you will be required to undertake IELTS for that. APHRA are the registration body, you need to be registered with them to work, but it is not part of the visa process. It is very unusual for people to claim partner points, I could count on one hand the numb of times I have seen anyone do that. Skills assessments can be laborious and expensive and doing two,rather than take an IELTS test is an odd decision. In your case though, you have to take IELTS for skills assessment anyway.

Something must have changed recently in that case as nurses have always had to take IELTS for skills assessment for as long as I can remember. Anyway as I say, no people do not typically claim partner points. Skills assessments are far harder and generally more expensive than IELTS. I didn't see boilermaker on the SOL either, what code is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are already AHPRA registered they can do a modified assessment with ANMAC which doesn't require IELTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Indeed, the modified ANMAC assessment is very straightforward, and cheaper! $425 (going up to $430 on 9th January). Process is simple Gather certified copies of the following: proof of identity current registration certificate from NMBA or NCNZ Graduation Certificate Professional references to cover a minimum of three months in last five years [*]Complete the application form online for a modified skills assessment Remember to send through verification of all countries in which you are (and have been) registered.

ABG Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Doing IELTS would be fast, cheaper and bag your more points than a partner skills assessment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 We opted for partner points rather than IELTS, it was a few years back now but all I recall having to do was send my degree certificate to Vetassess. It wasn't even my current profession as I'd had a career change. It was the route advised by our migration agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
