bigmac Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Start by looking at the immigration website to see what visa you qualify for. If it's a PR visa you'll need to get a skills assessment by ANMAC. You also need to sit the IELTS for your skills assessment & get 7's in all areas as a nurse. Following the skills assessment you submit your EOI & go from there. Good luck.

kellyv Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Make sure you book the academic Ielts- the general won't be accepted by Anmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the immigration website and I've also been to down under live that confirms I defo qualify for a skilled independent visa I just don't know where and what I should be doing next and also with the islets test I was told not everyone needs to sit the so how do you find out if you need it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a PR visa you need to have a skills assessment completed by ANMAC & as part of this process you need to complete the academic IELTS. You don't need IELTS if you go for a temporary visa that requires sponsorship. Whichever visa you decide on you also need to register as a nurse which means applying to AHPRA also.

jac2011 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 An answer I should know however... After I have had my skills assessed by ANMAC and sent directly to AHPRA, what other documentation do I need to forward to AHPRA? I am trying to do a nice power point presentation to organise myself!

jac2011 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi Toodolou, Thanks for that! I am confused as I will be relatively newly qualified so not sure how many CPD I will have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncy Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi there, thanks for those replies regarding the reference! Was also wondering about cpd. What do we need exactly, is it just dates when courses and things like that were completed and signed by ward sister, or actual certificates? Might as well start getting that stuff together so I'm prepared for AHPRA when the time comes! Been looking for someone to sign my documents so they will be acceptable to both AHPRA and ANMAC. Notary costs £190 per hour and local magistrate £25 per copy!!!!! I'm in the wrong business!!! Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlornax Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Wow thats alot..exeter court does them free if u live near there! I just sent some e learning module certificates printed off..I didnt have much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncy Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I thought that too xlornax, unfortunately I'm in Newcastle upon Tyne so a bit to far to travel, although at these prices a trip to Exeter probably wouldn't be much more!! I'm sure I have a file at work with years worth of certificates from training days, would I send the lot, or just recent ones, like the last year or two?

There is template on site ( can't put link up soz as not great with tech) I got my ward manager to verify cpd. Even reading article can count as do mandatory study!

I had an email from them on 5/3/14 saying they'd received my application & the money was taken the same day. I've asked my uni & NMC for further info to be sent to cover criteria 2,3 & 8 so now hoping they can do that & also hoping it doesn't get lost in transit.
