KangaKit Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi, so just filling in my APHRA forms for registration and wondered what other people had done for documentation for category A, ie passport with visa? I thought you could do AHPRA whilst waiting for invitation...has anyone does this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxaro Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I believe @DukeNinja done it before the visa has been granted. But a the recruitment agent told us the following "Please note that AHPRA require applicants to present in person to an AHPRA office within three months of being granted ‘Approval in Principle”, before full registration can be granted.". So if your visa grant takes longer than 3 months you could run yourself into a corner..... Also note I'm a radiographer so I'm not sure if this statement above will apply the same to you...

Kev147 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thanks for this. My wife is a radiographer and we were unsure about this too. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev147 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Lodged on May 3rd, asked for medicals and PCC on 19th June and had everything uploaded by July 13th so just waiting now. We applied under my occupation (secondary teacher) with 75 points.My wife registered with an employment agency a while back and had an interview for a post last week. They've asked for references and are aware of what stage we are at in the process, so we'll see how that goes.

exxaro Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 More or less in the same boat. Lodged the 26 May and front loaded everything and haven't heard anything yet..... Please let me know if and when your visa is granted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev147 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Will do. We didn't front load our docs and had to wait til we came back from a holiday to upload. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could do AHPRA whilst waiting for invitation...has anyone does this? To meet the minimum identity requirements: I applied for an Australian e-visitor visa online, once that was granted I then submitted certified copies of my UK passport plus the copy of e-visitor grant letter (category A), UK drivers license (category B). (P.s. I hadn't submitted an EOI or applied for a permanent visa when AHPRA registration was granted) For full I.D requirements to get full registration: they would need certified copies of an Australian drivers licence, Aus bank card/account details, Medicare card, etc. Depending on your situation-these can be accessed during a visit to Aus.

That's correct, I did my AHPRA before applying for my visa, which meant I had to present to an AHPRA office to get my AIP. Made for a nice 7 day trip to Perth. If you do this, do not use the automated border control gates, but go to a manned booth, as I'm sure you'll need a stamped passport for something (I did, but cant remember what for). Having AHPRA rego before my visa also meant that as soon as the latter was granted, I could apply for jobs whilst abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveAGirlShoes Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Did you need an Aussie address when you presented Duke? Or was the approval in principle, plus your presence at the office enough??? Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNinja Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hey. How's it going? Long time no hear! I did have to give an address, and I used the business address of the agency that I had registered with. However, you can use the address of your temporary residence (AIRBNB etc). They will send your paper rego certificate there though, just be warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveAGirlShoes Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 That's great, I have a friend in Brisbane so that might do. It'll be a while yet as we're not selling our house now, so need to save up forever to fund the move [emoji853]Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
