Flumper Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hiya Everyone. I was wondering how long everyone waited. I sent my 1st application in May which was never received.....so I sent another which was received in July. I am still waiting! I have a job waiting and I was meant to start a few weeks ago, AHPRA have a copy of the job offer letter. They've advised my application is with the priority team and it's been escalated. I've been promised it will all be sorted by mid Jan but I've been fobbed off that many times, I don't believe them. I've rung AHPRA most weeks and I've also been into the Sydney office a few times...which hasn't made much of a difference. I'm so stressed as I can't apply for my visa until I have my nursing reg, I am currently staying with my mum who lives over here with my stepdad. I am currently just on a holiday visa which runs out at the end of Jan. I had to come over as my mum has been ill. On a positive note it's my 1st time off over Christmas AND New Year. :laugh: Merry Christmas everyone. Emma xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumper Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 I had an idiot case worker I think. My friends have been waiting for the same period of time but they've had emails and stuff, where as I've had nothing. Hopefully the priority team know what they're doing.

roger2shirts Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 We had the same nonsense from these idiots, but then we got it sorted in 2 weeks! Find out who your Mum's local Federal MP is and go and see them. Write a detailed letter giving a timeline of when you first applied, who you have spoken to etc, details of who you have seen, dates and times etc. Go and see him or her, make an appointment, do not take no for an answer, when you see them if its a man - "cry" and do not leave until he has said he will phone the minister for health. If its a woman MP be logical and explain it terms of costs to you and Australia. We were getting no where until the MP made a few calls and then it all happened on the 28th of DEc when they were supposedly shut for the holidays! This is what the local Aussies do if they have a problem - the Federal MP carries some weight and can put pressure on - it certainly worked in our case after 12 months of pratting about with these idiots and a quick kick up the bum did the job! Good luck and take your Mum with you and explain how you need to be there to look after her etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger2shirts Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Our MP wrote an urgent letter to the Chief Executive Office - AHPRA, and it worked - her registration came through in 10 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
