Murray146 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi Ali, Unfortunately it says the letter of eligibility from AHPRA is not sufficient so I was trying to see if anyone had gone through the same process recently. Thanks for your quick reply.. :-) If she is registered with AHPRA then I've always been led to assume it's the modified assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandiMR2 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi everyone, I've got my PR 190 visa & busy planning on moving to Adelaide later this year Sept/Oct. I'm just about to apply to AHPRA for registration & yes I have a few questions!...... So I'm hoping a few of you will be able to help... Has anyone got an idea on average how long applications are taking in the current climate in Adelaide? Am I right to presume it is acceptable to submit my IELTS certificate instead of my secondary education evidence? How are people including evidence of their CPD? Can it be listed in my CV with dates, hours etc? are copies of certificates from study days/courses required to be enclosed? Will my own CV format be acceptable providing it has all the required elements requested or is it advisable to presented it in the format given as a guide? Also does my CV need to be certified? or is my signature suffice? I know there's a few! Soorrrrrry!! Any help is very much appreciated. Thanku Mandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stasia Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hello everyone! I just finished in Australia and am doing my Honours research back in the UK. I'm looking into migration of nurses & midwives, from the UK to Australia, factors influencing migration, and perceptions of work in Australia compared to the UK. I'm looking for nurses/midwives working in Australia, who worked for the UK NHS before moving to do a short survey - it won't take more than 5 minutes. It would be amazing if you could take part. :ssign16: Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PH89VZF Thanks so much in advance Anastasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help will be much appreciated thanku, Mandi Hi Mandi cant help with processing time at Adelaide Melbourne was 12 weeks for mine but usually Adelaide and Darwin quickest offices. IELTS is fine instead of school certs that's what I did You don't need to send copies of all your cpd stuff what I did was add a section at end of cv and listed by year all cpd taken for each thing I also listed number of hours or days and format if relevant eg e learning cv format I adapted my normal cv to include more detail on the employer and also nurse to patient ratio for community I put ccaseload the cv doesn't need to be certified you write the little declaration on it that is a true copy as of ..... And sign it exact wording is on cv guidelines good luck mem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeng25 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 How did everybody get in touch with AHPRA once u had received the email saying they had received your application, it's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything, I have heard that you are best to keep in touch with them because they can be a bit slow at informing you if they want more information!! Many thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kel87 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Going to sound a bit daft here but what sort of CPD do you all have to include? I think I really be to pull my finger out abit with my CPD! I don't really do much over the years except work! :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandiMR2 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi Kelly, I was worried too as I haven't had time to do much CPD! On another thread I got some great info about CPD & what people had submitted etc & one member kindly sent me a CPD template/guide of what they used to document all theirs, if you PM me your e-mail address I can pass it on if you'd like? I just can't remember the name of the thread! lol Mandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janeydv Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi everyone, i have just realised that my middle name isn't on my diploma certificate or my nmc documents. Is this going to cause me problems ? The nmc have already sent my verification letter out and I am just gathering my paperwork for certification. I have an awful feeling that I'm going to have to pay for another certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelz Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Don't think my certificates had my middle name either - didnt cause any problems - so fingers crossed for you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic1171 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My understanding is that unless your currently working in Oz (eg temp visa so will have Ahpra) then a modified assesment is ok, if applying from UK need full assessment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylel39 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Hello Everyone, My girlfirend is currently in the process of registering as a Nurse with APHRA. She is planning on going over on a WHV or if possible gain sponsorship (457) from an employer prior to arriving. She'll be 23 with 2 years post grad experience by the time we arrive. She's at the stage where she needs to send off her application and the supporting evidence (AGOS-40) - this is where the problem lies. I've read previous pages but it seems others are in slightly different positions and what's required changes from various visa's. On the WHV what evidence should be provided so she can gain registration? I've also seen the timeframe of application vary quite a bit also, some say 6 weeks some have said 6 months - realistically what should we expect? Here's what we've compiled so far or gathered that's what is required; - She has all her qualifications detailing her achievements (BSc Degree Adult Nursing, various SQA Highers etc.) - am i correct in thinking she has to phone her university and ask for transcripts of her course? Will a breakdown also be required for her SQA Highers for example - to show 5 years of continued education in English or is the summary of attainment with the qualifications achieved start and completion date enough? - She has her letter confirming her PIN Card from the nursing and midwifery council (NMC) including a note on payment receipt until September 2013 - pin card on the bottom of the page. - Coloured copy of her passport, driving license and birth certficate. - A copy of her CV attached with the application. - References from her current and previous employer. - Do all of these documents need to be stamped/notorised by someone? Is there anything we have missed or anything that would make the process easier/go smoothly? Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies also because I'm sure similar questions crop up all the time.

Isobel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Kyle She needs to get references from previous 2 yr post grad nursing work she has done (I was newly qualified so other ppl will have more advice on this matter), this has to be notorised - see below She needs a letter from her high school and uni that she was 'taught and assessed' in English. (exact expression to be used' these documents need to be notorised by a notary public (a lawyer) She needs a certificate of good standing from the NMC - go online an apply for the pack £35 (nmc send directly to Ahpra) She needs her passport and birth certificate (100 point check documents ect) her sqa qualifications (just grade sheet) and nmc statement of entry and degree certificate all notorised She needs a completed application (doesn't not req to be notorised, I did though) Her CV has to be signed, dated and I'm sure I had to write something along the lines of 'true and ....at time of writing' check application guide Visa's have nothing to do with registration. all you need is to tick the health category therefore a medical us required in Edinburgh Try and get your gf to get all her immunisation records from childhood and hep b from uni or nhs occupation health records. This is for over in oz not the visa or reg process. The more info she has the less hassle and employability When you get to oz, depending on where you send our Ahpra reg building to, you must go there and present yourself. If you don't get have your application for reg proved if speeds up the process as you are prioritised when youre in the country. Good luck, I did this all a year ago and it was horrendous at the time but very very much worth it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
