thebigmove2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I am recently qualified midwife and wondering is it possible for me to register with aphra before I move. we haven't moved yet as I am still doing my degree and we wanted to wait until I qualified. Now that I am qualified can I go before I register. Don't want to be out of work while I wait for registration to come through. Any help or advice appreciated Sent from my SM-A300FU using PomsinOz mobile app Edited December 27, 2018 by thebigmove2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bound4Tassie Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Registration/Registration-Process/Overseas-Practitioners.aspx The link above should provide some guidance. As far as I understand it you can get 'registration in principle' , then you have to attend an AHPRA office in Aus within 3 months to verify your id. You have to do something re ANMAC too https://www.anmac.org.au/ but I'm not a nurse/midwife so I can't help there. I'm sure someone else will be able to provide further info.

thebigmove2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 I wasn't sure if I needed to get my skills assessed via anmac as I already have pr before I qualified, we only activated our visa with a plan to move once I qualified. Just can't make head nor tail of where to start as on aphra it asked for oz address/bank cards etc which I don't have as I'm still at homeSent from my SM-A300FU using PomsinOz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNinja Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 You still need to get your qualifications and experience accredited by AHPRA to be eligible to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebigmove2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 So do I have to wait until I move to do that? Il send an email I think as I don't know where to start with registration. I dont want to be over there and not able to work Sent from my SM-A300FU using PomsinOz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 No you can do it now, but once you have received your registration in principle - within 3 months you need to present in person to an AHPRA office to finalise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigmove2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Oh ok sounds a bit better. Because once I have registration in principle I will book flights n we can go straight away. Wouldnt be too long of a wait to get the proper registration then I would hope.Does anybody know how long registration takes?Sent from my SM-A300FU using PomsinOz mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The AHPRA website has all you need to start the application process http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-and-Endorsement/Forms.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abin.thayyil Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 ANMAC processing time says 5 weeks. But is it the time for access the whole process or its the commencement time for accessing from the day of applying online??Sent from my HTC One mini 2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The processing time is from the date your documents are received at the ANMAC office. Regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANMAC is only needed for skilled visa applications. Re: AHPRA You would need to meet the registration standards outlined on their website; 1. Criminal history -via fit2Work 2. English language skills 3. Professional indemnity insurance arrangements -just agree to say you will be covered by your employer when you start working in Aus. 4. recency of practice a) you need to get UK Nursing and Midwifery Council to send a Certificate of Good Standing to AHPRA (see NMC website working abroad) b) you need a professional reference from your manager/supervisor (who has to be a nurse/midwife) + minimum 3 months full-time employment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already have your visa then you need only register with AHPRA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
