Hopeful Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi all, good to hear from other nurses going through the process. May sound like a silly question but why academic IELTS? Good luck everyone with your applications, i've not done anything yet other than been interviewed for a job, fingers crossed and then we ll have to move like lightening! Not sure if i'll need registration as desirable but not essential for job role also I have New Zealand Nursing Council registration so not sure if thats acceptable?

ali Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi hopeful, you'll need AHPRA registration to practise in Aus as a nurse, I'd be a bit concerned if your job isn't asking for registration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 hi Ali, its a purely management job not a clinical one and therefore will not have a clinical roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 hi Ali, its a purely management job not a clinical one and therefore will not have a clinical roll Ah ok ... but don't you have to have so much clinical to maintain your registration?

Hopeful Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 You do Ali if you want to ensure you will be always able to practice as a nurse, I know some of my friends have dropped their registration as they have moved into management, I'm not sure if I would be prepared to do that but then I am also not sure how in some management positions you can demonstrate sufficient appropriate clinical work to justify registration. Another thing for me to think about and to ask more questions about ....... If I didn't need to have a practising certificate because it would not be justifiable would I be able to just register and it just sit there?

Joeybee Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thought I'd update here and see where everyone else is up to. I submitted the visa on 21st September, had the health checks on the 2nd October and am sending off form for police check tomorrow. No CO yet, but I believe that people who submitted their visas in August are starting to get CO's and grants now, so I'm keeping everything crossed that so long as I get all the documents uploaded (which I've almost done) the grant should come quickly after the CO. I'm not sure whether the Health checks went through okay, a week after I had the health checks, the e-lodgement page changed to say "no need for health checks for this applicant" for both me and my Husband. I'm presuming the health checks have been cleared??? Applied to AHPRA on 15th October. They got in touch today to say the payment didn't go through (I'm presuming because I used a debit, not credit card, so my bad). They also said they need me to re-send all the documents that had to be certified, as they aren't happy with the person who certified them. I used a solicitor, this was fine with ANMAC...apparently not for AHPRA, so I'm seeing a notary public on Monday and re-sending all the docs again. (Another £100 to add to all the other expenses!) :-( But once I've ironed out these few bumps, everything should be okay. One more query, I'm confused about form 80. It's not requested on the check-list for the documents needed for 189 visas, but I've noticed on the PIO forum that some people have been asked to submit it, so me and husband have filled a form 80 out each anyway. I'm dying to get to Australia for Christmas to spend it with the family we'll be staying with in Perth, but realistically I think it'll be January. Anyone else expecting to be moving out around that time? How is everyone else getting along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that when I see the notary public on Monday evening, then send the documents off and amend the payment details for credit card, they will be happy. Congrats on your visa grant, not long now till you go! It must be really nice to be able to tell everyone when you'll be making the move.

Joeybee Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Good news about how quick you were invited etc.....once you had received an invite, you then submitted the visa? Did ou have to pay the full visa amount straight away? I'm looking into this and not really sure of the finer details once you've been invited? Good luck!! Thanks. They seem to invite every few weeks, so think it depends on what date you put in your EOI to how long before you get an invite to apply. You do have to pay the full visa fee upfront when you apply for the visa. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I informed them I am resending correctly certified copies of stuff and new payment details, they sent me a reply thanking me and explaining that they take 6-8 weeks at the moment to process applications for registration. So hopefully we will hear soon. Not long now before you head off - exciting!!! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked why I had not been contacted as yet , the lady said someone would be in touch shortly , I do hope there is nothing else is wrong ! I was going to wait but decided just to send the new payment bit away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem friendly enough, hopefully they'll process us quite quickly once they receive the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
