Guest Liverpool lou Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Lesley, Can I ask where you sent your application to? Mine is at the Melbourne office and I have been advised they received it on 7th October....which means it could be near to getting processed if they have looked at yours which they received at the end of September....fingers crossed! Thanks. Hi caroline I sent mine off to victoria because that was the address on the form. That went at the beginning of sept. I received an email from Aphra after i had asked where they where upto on my application and my file had been sent onto to queensland, probably because that is whete i'll be working. Queensland receiced it on 28th sept. I am so annoyed that im having to do all this work again when ANMC had already sent all my documentation off from my skills assessment. :arghh::arghh::arghh: If yours Was received on7th october then you should not be too far off getting your application assessed. I am concerned that christmas is coming up and we'll loose days because of bank holidays and their office will be closed :elf: It will give then an excuse to be even slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coxy04 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I applied to Vic NB in April, then when central registration came out, it AHPRA sent me a new form to fill in, plus proof of PII, and new job description needed (which i had already sent to Vic NB)....my agent has contacted them many times and thet say they are unable to give any further info, so i'm still waiting! We are waiting for 176 sponsorship to Vic to come back....lodged 4 weeks ago.Hoping may be back by end of Jan, so can get main visa in before i turn 45 in March. It is slightly concerning that both Viv NB and AHPRA seem to be soooo disorganised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s4mmy Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 they are slow but it'll be worth it in the end. the visas are taking 2 weeks to process so thats positive. what office is dealing with your application the caseworker i had was really good, do you know the name of yours I sent mine to the Brisbane office. I have an allocated case worker I'll ring her tomorrow night. Did you ever speak to yours direct? Do they tell you which stage they are processing? I'm only worried they'll change their mind regarding the IELTS exam. But says in draft not required if done training in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellsbells712 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Seems like it must not be Melbourne.... They are absolutely useless. I went in yesterday and they would not tell me at all where was my application up to, even though two weeks ago they were assessing the ones three days before mine.... Getting really frustrating I will be spending Xmas with no money at all!!!! Seems mine is in that lot. Mine is currently with a case officer being assessed that was 3 weeks ago and last week too. How long does it take to process 1 application. What's making me cross is all the money spent ringing these people and then when we do receive our registration we probably won't get the full year registration we have paid for. I have just sent a moaning message to them. Just wait and see. Doubt they'll even reply, just like the last few messages I sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Liverpool lou Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I finally got through to Aphra tonight and was amused to be speaking to another scouser on the end of the phone. :biglaugh: I had a few questions to ask about additional documentation I needed to send to them and I asked why is this needed because I thought the ANMC had forwarded these onto them. Was I wrong!! Apparently the ANMC only send out one piece of information saying a skilled assessment had taken place and no other information is sent. I asked how long the assessment takes to be processed and he said 6-8 weeks from them receiving the application. I mentioned they had confirmed receipt of my application on 28th September and he said I should be at the latter stages of the process. We'll just have to wait and see what happens over the next few days. I leave the Uk in 9 days time and am becoming stressed as its more hassle getting stuff sent out when you're overseas. Fingers crossed everyone and lets hope they have finally got their act together and started getting our registrations sorted.Who knows Father Christmas might bring us a good pressies from Aphra :santadance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s4mmy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 How did you find out who your case officer is???? I sent mine to Melbourne as that's what the application form said despite me going to Brisbane I rung the central number for AHPRA and they told me over the phone, they had received my application and my case worker was Emma Land (sounds a nice girl!) lol.

Guest smallbutscary62 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 to anyone who is trying to register as div 1 here in oz.. it takes ages on 2 counts. the first is that the NMC are quick to take your cash but slow to act and second the ahpra are new and havent got it together yet! I came over without a job while i was waiting but worked as a carer for an agency called access unlimited. a variety of basic nursing stuff in group homes for learning disability, other physical disabiliies and one to one care in clients homes. i had a great time. the pay is better than carers in uk get.. about$20 per hour but they pay your superann for you on top and you can claim a lot of work expenses on your tax. tracy:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellsbells712 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Still on the phone to AHPRA. Now they are saying my application is in Brisbane, so the 3rd person I have spoken to today is presently speaking to my case officer....:arghh::arghh: when is this going to end?????????????????

hellsbells712 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Well, none the wiser..... My application is in Brisbane. The 1st I've heard of this since I've been ringing up. Every other week since bloody September!!!!!!!!!! And has not been assessed yet. She promised I will be assessed very soon and will hear soon. Yea right..... I'll believe it when I see it. I'll just wait now for the long list of documents they are now going to ask for, which I already sent . But hey ho.......It's snowing outside + Santa is coming soon.:snowman7: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s4mmy Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I rang them last night and the guy was really nice and helpful. Informed overwhelming amount of overseas applicants, he advised to constantly persue and chase up application especially if I have a job offer. He attempted to put me through to my case worker who was unable to answer the phone. He has obviously dealt with hundreds of us brits kicking off about delays of application. He said to ring twice a week and he also gave me her e-mail address, which he admitted unsure as to whether she will reply or not! At least he didn't lie to me and was honest. I have e-mailed her with a strong message to contact me as desperate to get to Oz. Well words to that effect! I want to be in Oz now so bloody frustrating! :frown::realmad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this so bizarre cos every time I have rung up they say I was put through to Melbourne. No one had ever mentioned Brisbane, except me on the application saying chief area of practice - QLD. :v_SPIN::spinny::v_SPIN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s4mmy Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 No he didn't to be honest I didn't ask, I forgot. I rang central call centre number asked to be put through to Brisbane on hold for 10 minutes and put me through to Sydney office! But really nice, didn't have the heart to have a go at him. Saving that for next week! My friend who is in Cairns got out there 3 months ago said union has contacted AHPRA saying process applications faster. His student just finished and AHPRA has told students. It will be February, March before they will be registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CarolineS Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi loveaussies,Well, I sent mine on the 10th September, received on the 21st September.... And they still have not taken my money yet.... I don't think it will be long as last week they told me they were assessing the applications from the 16th.... I'd say have patience and call the every week or so....! Where did you send your application? Mine is at Melbourne and they say they received it on 7th Oct so hopefully it'll be assessed soon! Have you had any progress over the past few weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
