Guest s4mmy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Don't expect to get registration overnight. If you have time before you emigrate you are fine, but do put it in ASAP. If you need it in a hurry, Good luck. My application has been in since August. We are on the final stage though, last extra docs requested. Should have answer in next week or so. Was told on Thursday if I had not heard this week to get back on the phone.... Hi Helen, Has yours also gone to the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellsbells712 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi Helen, Has yours also gone to the board? No its not gone to the board its just at the final assessment stage after they request extra docs to confirm my ID. If it doesnt get recommended for registration at this stage, then it will go to the board. Emma said she is sorting it ASAP. I sent her an reply to her email tonight, just to keep my name in her head and prompt her to let me know NOW.........Please, its only a matter of days. I feel it in my waters:arghh::arghh::arghh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamingOfAus Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi guys, can I please have some clarification on the whole registtation topic. I am needing my skills assessment for my visa, I was going to go through the ANMC website. Is this correct or should I be getting my skills assessed via the AHPRA site or is this for later down the line? If its the latter when in the process do I involve the ANMC? Thanks Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwl Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi Guys Hope you can help? We are in the process of applying to Vic for SS. I have had my ANMC & IELTS all assessed. I am now just about to start to apply to APHRA for registration. Has anyone asked ANMC to pass on their certified docs to APHRA or are you all getting the sames docs certified again. It all just seems that we are spending so much money when things could be simplified if one process was in communication with others! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamingOfAus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks Harringtons, glad you could clarify that. Very confusing really that you get assessed by one body then register with another one! Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donnar Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi LisaI got sponsorship from SA two months ago without being registered, I just explained what i knew of the AHPRA application process and also that it seems to take an age! seemed to do the trick! Gill x Hi there, I am new to the site and have been trying to find out about registering with a Diploma as i dont have the nursing degree. We are wanting to apply to SA for SS. Can this be done without registering as a nurse with AHRA. Would you mind telling me how you did this/your process. I am completely lost and was going to book to do my ielts, but cant afford to start booking tests and paying for registration if it will be a no go. Would appreciate any advise, thanks so much Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Harringtons for the info, But is it worth doing if i only have a diploma in nursing, and 12 months post qualifying work experience (im a community staff nurse). I really need to get things going and know that ielts comes first - but do you know what to do next? is it best to go through an agency? (though they cost a bomb!) Sorry, but i am soooooo lost here! Just want to get going!! Many thanks again Donna:jimlad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to be allowed to work as a nurse, and before you will be able be considered for a migration to Australia based on the fact that you are a nurse, you will need to meet the registration requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). There are five criteria that are used in assessing your application for registration Criterion one - you must establish your identify. you will need to provide a range of 'proof of identity' documents. Criterion two - you must meet english language proficiency standards. You must complete the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination with a minimum score of seven in each of the four components - listening, reading, writing and speaking. Or, you must complete an overall pass in the Occupation English Test (OET) with grades A or B only in each of the four components. Criterion three - you must meet the current Australian nursing and midwifery education standards If you are qualified as a nurse in one of the following countries with a degree or a diploma* as well as further education, and you are registered as a first level nurse in one of these countries you will be deemed to have the equivalent qualification as a nurse qualified in Australia: · United Kingdom · The Republic of Ireland · The United States of America · Canada · New Zealand · Hong Kong · Singapore *If you only have a diploma from one of the countries listed above you will require an assessment of your further education or experience to determine if you are deemed to be equivalent to a nurse qualified in Australia. Nurses from countries not listed above will require individual assessment to determine whether their qualifications and experience will be recognised by the Board. Criterion four - you must provide evidence of having practised as a nurse or midwife within a defined period of time prior to submitting the application. Criterion five - you must demonstrate that you are fit to practice in Australia. You must prove that there has been no previous proven disciplinary proceedings against you, that there are no restrictions on you arising from mental incapacity, that there are no restrictions on you arising from physical incapacity, that you have no criminal history which would preclude you from working as a nurse or midwife in Australia. What do I do if I don’t meet AHPRA’s requirements? If you don’t meet the requirements because your qualifications or experience are not recognised, you might want to consider pursuing an ‘Occupational Trainee Visa’ or a ‘Business Short Stay Visa – subclass 456’ to allow you to undertake a bridging program to improve your skills.

If so a diploma should be fine, my wife has a diploma in mental health done at Leeds Uni 14 years ago and we have been told this will be fine to register with AHPRA as she a registered mental health nurse.
