Guest Hacking family Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just wondered because of your wait?When I applied for the job I thought they were offering the 457 which is what was stated on the website but when the job offer came they offered me the 121 so I will have permanent residency from the off which I think is better in the long term. Just means a slightly longer wait. Good luck with your move, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hacking family Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Can someone please help me??? Does any one know how many years evidence of CPD the AHPRA want for registration? I know they want 20 hours per year but how many years?? All help much appreciated! Most of the courses etc I had listed on my cv but I also did a list of cpd hours for this year, this just stated the courses or meetings etc I have attended with hours spent on each and then I asked my manager to sign it as a correct and accurate record of the year's cpd. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimee9182 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks so much for all your help! Think my next plan of action is to gather up all my certificates and anything I don't have supporting evidence for, put it onto my CV. All information is welcome!

Toodolou Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 just emailed APHRA for clarification , but am not expecting a quick reply, so wondering if anyone else hasexperience or knowledgeabout this?... I currently work 34.5 hours a week on a surgical ward (newly qualified sept 11) , but when looking on the APHRA website the 'recency of practice' standard states that you must have worked '3 months full time in last 5 yrs' - , i cant see on the APHRA website that it actually states the minimum number of hours that they class as full time over there. can anyone help me? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GilraenH Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 It actually says: practice in their profession within the past fiveyears for a period equivalent to a minimum ofthree months full time So out of 5 years you are meant to have worked a total of 38 hours per week for 12-14 weeks. you will be fine. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3p69 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi guys, can anyone help with this... WA state sponsor, what docs did you send i know that you have to send CV, Skills assessment and IELTS. But what other docs did you send, its just that we are trying to get everything ready for when we get a reply from ANMAC and trying to beat the 1st of July mark... Like what did you send to show that you have worked at least 20 hours a week for the past 12 months, or have i read it wrong and you dont have to... Also do you know if been qualified and worked full time (community nurse) for a year and a half is enough for a state sponsor for the 176 visa, becaouse i read a thread from 2010 that you had to be qualified for 7 years qualify... Thanks... Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LouiseM Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi all, Im about to send the NMC verification, when i put the AHPRA address should I put the city of Perth if thats where I am wanting to work? thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LouiseM Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Also to add, should i send all my GCSE/Alevel certificates even if I have the results stated on transcripts?? I only ask as I have been quoted £210 to get it all notarised. This is a set fee so it wouldnt matter how many documents I have & the notary states she has worked with many AHPRA applicants so she knows what is required & I can go back as many times as needed. Otherwise If i dont need as many documents certifying it would prob be cheaper to go somewhere else??? Does anyone have any advice as to what the usual price to pay is??
