nic1171 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I had to resend the my CV and give cpd evidence, also because my yearly NMC renewal date passed, I had to get the NMC to resend confirmation of registration again! At a cost! Me too! What a swizzle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicki1974 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hi, I received my LOD from ANMAC yesterday and submitted my EOI. Just wondering when should I apply for nursing registration? looks like I'm gonna have to get all my documents certified by a JP (ANMAC docs were certified by a solicitor) I'd appreciate any advice.

fraborg01 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 HI, they sent me that I have missing documents after 8 weeks ( about time) anyway, did anyone used the ANMAC documents to register to APHRA because I sent them everything again and they should have the anmac file too (which was sent by ANMAC) too and they are not using it. All the documents that they requested are in that file. What can i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybee Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I was starting to worry about how long it was taking for my Letter of Eligibility to come through, 'cos they emailed me on 15/11 to say they had "no timeframe" in which to assess my registration docs. However, I just checked my email and I have my LOE! Now, c'mon visa...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbrodin Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi All, Further emails to and from APHRA below, still no decision as yet, seems a long time since the 12 th August when my documents were first acknowledged. Having gone through the AMNAC process an having my skills assessed as equivalent, now APHRA want to revisit this assessment or so it appears. Does anyone know if this is because my diploma and masters are not in nursing qualification specifically, the diploma being in epilepsy and masters in a medical science. Thanks. Paul . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dear Paul Due to the high volume of overseas applications Australia wide, there is currently no time frame available at this stage for outcomes of internationally qualified Nursing and Midwifery applications. I am unable to comment on the outcomes of other applications submitted. It all comes down to education equivalence to an Australian Bachelor Degree which is part of the assessment process. Please be assured that I am aware of your pending application and will contact you as soon as we have further information regarding the status of your application. Then You are welcome to contact AHPRA with questions at any time. Can I please ask if the Master of Science Degree was specific to nursing? I do not have the delegation to advise if your Master of Science MSc Degree in the medical sciences field could be taken into consideration for your current application for general registration as a Registered Nurse. You are welcome to submit further information/evidence of this qualification to add to your application if you wish. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

HenryHamilton Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Slightly off topic I applied to AHPRA and they lodged my application on the 15 October 13. They advised me to contact them in 6 weeks for an update if I haven't heard from them in the interim. I haven't heard from them so I emailed them on Tuesday 3 December and got a long winded reply however at the end of the email it says my application is in the final stages and I will hear from a registration officer shortly. Does anyone know if this means they haven't actually check my application yet and are just fobbing me off or is this actually as it says and my reg should be through shortly?

ali Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi Henry, you don't get your registration as such, you get a letter stating you are eligible, you then have 12 months to turn up to an AHPRA office in person to complete the registration process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryHamilton Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hi Ali, thanks for your reply. Sorry I am aware I will get a letter of eligibility. I was just wondering if the email saying my application was in its final stages means I will receive it soon or is this what AHPRA say?

ali Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I can't answer your question re AHPRA - I registered with the NMBWA and when AHPRA came into being my registration just got transferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It soundly like you are being asked to wait patiently and not to keep on emailing them, that's my thoughts anyway coz i got the same reply at some point and then nothing for the next two months if i don't ring them i get nothing at all...i don't know if it is the Adelaide office or all offices are just swamped with international applications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbie Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hi, I know how you feel, I am about a week behind you in APHRA acknowledgement and had to provide further documents which they received in September. I will keep an eye out for your cheer when yours arrives, may keep me positive that mine will not be far behind. Paul have u heard from Aphra yet?

Nomicon Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ours arrived this morning from the Perth office, final piece now in place! From memory, my wife's application was "complete" in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomicon Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yes in total it took 9 weeks 5 days once the correctly notarised documents arrived with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbrodin Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 have u heard from Aphra yet? Hi, I have had an email this week as below, I find it difficult to believe that having received my documents in August, that they want me to submit further information, they want further info on my Masters degree, as I was only able to submit results at the time and have since attended my graduation. They also want me to document when I trained, when I completed my diploma and then degree, this is because I was trained pre diploma and degree nursing programmes and had to keep pace as it were, with students education. Paul I would recommend at this point that if you are willing to submit further information to AHPRA it will be added to your application when it is considered by our Registration Committee. Could you please also include your explanation regarding your education pathway that you have provided in your recent email in a cover letter when you submit the documents?

hemzet Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Hi, I am a nurse working in Germany and as far as I can see I struggle with the same problems with AHPRA as you do. It is 13 weeks now since AHPRA received my documents, the fee was claimed and payed within a week and from that moment on I haven't heard anything from them. After 10 weeks I started calling them weekly with getting contradictory information. From "the assessment will be finalized soon" to "the assessment didn't even start". No request via email has ever been answered. Last call today: due to a high volume of oversea assessments (e.g. Africa) they can' t give a time frame. But I was given a usefull advise: to check my mails very often- as if this can make the process faster! Tomorrow I'll quit my job as I have a period of notice of 6 month (PR Visa time frame: 8/14) with nothing in my hands then the Visa itsself. So, good luck to all!

Monkeylloyd1 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well. I'm back to square one! I sent off my application in October! Had an e mail asking for documents to be certified by a justice of the peace, so had all documents sent over and application deadline was Boxing Day. Had an e mail on Boxing Day to state that my application was being cancelled and I would receive no extension. When I phoned they stated that the magistrate had not put his JP number on the documents. I asked if I could re send and she said no! She advices that I wait until they have decided on the national minimum of qualifications! If its degree, I will have to wait until September to reply or apply as an enrolled nurse. At this rate, all my documents I have currently sent out will have expired nd I will be paying for them to be certified again! I'm getting so on fused by it all! Aggggghhhhhhhhhhh! :arghh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beka14 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hello knowledgeable people :biggrin: Anyone that has gone over to oz on a 457, we're you ( did you have to be ) registered with aphra before you left the U.K or did you go over and just wait for registration before starting work? Not even sure if this is possible but going round in circles with all the websites and different information. Beka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
