Guest Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hi there the skills process too a while, it's intensive filling in the forms and gathering the docs, my advice would be to chip away at it day by day, the same with everything else, it will be less tiring. As for the docs I had to certify everything, birth, quals, employment refs, it varies on the time to process but was two months for me. Best of luck, medical seems to be in great demand.

Mummy Mann Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 It is time consuming gathering all the paperwork together and getting it all certified. My application process from start to finish took 9 weeks. That was due to some of the documents getting lost on the way there. I would recommend getting a couple of each document certified, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catrinaburns Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Can a solicitor certify the documents for the ANMAC skills assessment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy Mann Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yes a solicitor is fine for skills assessment with ANMAC. I used a solicitor and had no problems. £2 per copy. When you need to supply documents for your nursing registration with AHPRA you will need a notary of the public or equivalent as they will not accept a solicitor!! Good luck :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy Mann Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Also it would be a good idea to get a couple of each documents certified as some of my paperwork went missing on the way to the ANMAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdk43 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I think the Notary certified every page, but could not be 100%, think my memory has shut down after completing the visa process! Feel like I have forgotten everything I did! Good luck, Donna x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mummy Mann Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I would get every page certified to be on the safe side. I am sure I read on one of the forums where an application was delayed because not all of the papers were certified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mummy Mann Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 No problem. It's nice now I can help others on here too now. I had no idea what I was doing at the beginning and without others help I would have been stuck!! We are hoping to head to the gold coast middle of next year. They appear to be processing the 175's quickly at the mo, so I am hoping to have a case officer by the end of the year (fingers crossed). Good luck with your skills assessment. I found this part the most stressful, but will be worth it xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mandajay Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hi there, I don't know about the ANMAC as i'm going on the 457 so didn't need to do it. However APHRA.....thats a different kettle of fish! Easiest way is to download the list of 'required documents' from the website, collect them all, photocopy them all, and then go to your local courthouse and ask them to be certified. You have to stand in the dock and read the oath! all very formal and a bit intimidating, but it only cost me £25 for them all and believe me theres loads! and they also took a copy which was certified so i ended up with 2 copies of each. Make sure you post it recorded and then reach for the valium! They have got to be the slowest organisation in history! I sent mine in June, they took the payment straight away but didn't put it into processing unitil 1st of August! To e-mail them is a nightmare as they don't send you anything informative back and thats pretty much the same when you ring! By the time i get my registration i may be too old to work!!!! lol Maybe i'm just impatient but i thought id warn you of the possible waits ahead xx Manda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani5 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Sorry to jump in on this conversation but it looks like i am at the same stage as you The Hulls! we are in applying for our skills assessments at the moment. I have been gathering all of my documents for anmac - we met with a solicitor last week to get all of our documents certified. I have an application form from the NMC for verification of registration request but on the form you can put numerous addresses.. do i just put down anmac or shall i put ahpra too? i have heard that anmac will send documents onto ahpra when they have finished with them... does anyone know if this is true? would be lovely to stay in touch with you through the process The Hulls x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandajay Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi The Hulls.. I edged my bets! It doesn't cost anything so I sent it to the 3 cities that we were looking at at the time! Either way I was sure at least one would get to them! Think I might try ringing them again tomorrow!!! It will cost me another small fortune but I move out of my house tomorrow too so I am desperate to get things moving again! Good luck everyone Keep me posted x Manda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
