Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

On point with that ,any advise in regards to signing CV the acceptable standard I have emaile the officer but no response yet I made sure thre was no error but I was wrong ...

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

The problem is, their grasp of the English language is so poor that it is hard to decipher what they want. Because they have quoted a whole raft of "standards" you can never be certain if you are in breach of one of them or all.

I'll go back through my reams of info from AHPRA and see if I can find a simplified explanation.

I've had a quick look and compared what you said you did with what they say they want.

The only thing I can think of is that your CV was a copy ?? where they state they want an original. Why? I've no idea, unless Australia's photo copiers have a mind of their own and don't copy exactly what is scanned into them!

Another thing - how can you send them "another" original when THEY already have it?

I suggest you check again against their guidelines for CV's to see what you have missed. If you can't find anything, you may have to wait until the non existant Case Officer emerges from the AHPRA haze!

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Much appreciated @genorm I can confirm I enclosed the original copy,as you rightly state if it is just the signature why not request a separate page with my signature "puzzled to the max confused.com for real.I made sure I covered all the gaps in my CV and it was all in chronological oder ,.
My guess is cause I signed on the same page where I typed my references contacts maybe I should have done it on a blank page..
Have requested a new letter fromHR so thts on the way will have it notarised was thinking I might ask the Dr I work with to certify it saves me notary fee but dnt want to take chances.

Pheeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I need a bit of intoxication to de stress

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hello
I am quite new to this forum, however I have recently sent my application to AHPRA as well. Only thing they have requested was the NMC verification which they have received now....so have to wait for the next step.......................

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

@sevenpot welcome..

Please can u tell how you signed your CV I have to type the I declate bit with date and will sign and date again but this on the same page as my references...

I have had to do an extra page with the clinical/procedural skills that I am competent in but all this was covered in my current or previous job role sections.

Chronological Oder tht the officer high listed I had initially started with my bsc,diploma,GCSEs but now have to do GCSEs ,diploma,Bsc hope thts chronological enough.

Here we are used to starting with current achievements going down ..or is it just me.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

On my CV after the reference details, I left a few lines empty and then signed as below:
I,XXXXX XXXX XXXXXX declare that the ‘The Curriculum Vitae is true and correct as at ‘10.06.2015’ then I signed below with my name and date.

On the clinical/procedural skills I did bullet point all the skills that I am competent with.

With regards to my Professional Education and Qualifications, I started with my English Language Assessment (I have completed OET English test, So I put the result of the test outcome) then BSc, DBasicoma etc...

Hope this answers your query!!!

Best wishes

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Thanx that helps ,did u have to type the I xxxxxxxxxx declare that the Curriculum is true and correct as at or u hand wrote it ??

Clinical /procedural I have done the same now

Thanx

All the best too u too

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

I did type the declaration.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hello I hope you can help me. Can I was as to what documents you needed certified, how much did this cost and did that include any statement of employment letters and police check certificate. I am currently in the process of gathering all documentation I need.

Many thanks

James

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hi@ James I had
2 bills
My drivers licence without counterpart
passport
University certificates including the transcripts
Mortgage papers

All in all I had about 12 docs lawyer I used was good in West Midlands charged me 150 for the lot which I thought was cheap.

As u can see from my thread I hv been asked to resend the statement of service from current employer so I am doing tht now as I had not .

Ahprah charged me 260 pounds and police check equivalent on 174 Aussie dollars for Fit2 work will verify with my bank statement

Hope it helps

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

I am still collecting the documents also, the Fit2Work police check cost me £83.50 when it came through to my bank statement.

We have not had any copies certified yet.

Still waiting on statement of service from 2 employers and then I can send off the application for my partner.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

I have just resent requested docs via DHL the costs are piling up DHL charges 38quid for docs .i know Royal Mail is slightly cheaper but no faith in them as they lost my docs years ago never found them so I wld rather use DHL .

@James just check my bank statement my fit2wotk was £174 but I did checks for 2 countries hence the difference in price with the £83 mentioned by mgreaves.

@mgreaves how u guys getting on ?make sure u have the statement of service from current employer notarised And CV do sign as advised by @Sevenpot.Hope myn will be accepted now...

@james have u shopped around yet for notaries.some of them charge exorbitant fees I.e 50 -60 quid a doc ......
...

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

We were mainly waiting for the Uni documents (this took 3 months!) but they came through last week so now just need the statement of service, my partner only asked for these a couple of weeks ago and we have been away so she was chasing them yesterday/today. Hopefully we can submit the application early next week.

I am an accountant and the process for me to transfer my registration seems very straight forward in comparison to this!

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

@mgreaves lucky you .

Quick update received an email stating that application has progressed to national team who verify international qualifications no timeframe given as to how long this will take ,I suppose it's just a waiting game now.The email did say I might be asked to provide more info I hope NOT.

Fingers crossed.@sevenpot any updates yet?

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Just a quick hint here for you Zulu...

BE is not Twitter. There's no need for the "@" symbol when answering a specific poster. All you need to do is click on the "QUOTE" button or if you want to reply to multiple posters in a single reply you just click on the little box just to the right of the "QUOTE" box on each post you want to include then hit "NEW REPLY"

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hi Zulu

I have received an email to confirm that they have received my NMC verification, nothing else.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

I am still learning Dorothy thnx for the tip.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Fingers crossed for you too .

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

We have finally got all paperwork together (I hope), where did you guys get the copies certified?

I have rang a couple of local courts and been quoted £25 a document and £60 a document, the Australian embasy in London has £15 a document on their website.

Can you recommend anywhere cheaper?

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hello mgreaves
I did attend the magistrate court and paid one off £60 for the bundle of documents (more than 25). I think this is the cheaper option.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

The two local courts here quoted per document and would not do a batch price.

I have just rang a few notaries who are local and 4 are now off on holiday!

I have managed to get two quotes, the first is £80 for document 1 and then £10 for each of the rest, another quote is £120(estimate) for 10 documents.

I am going to see if I have anyone on Facebook who can do it but I do not think so, so it looks like we will be paying £120.

Thanks for the help.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hie sorry for late response it appears £120 is your best bet.Strange how courts charge different fees you would think it will be same across all counties..

Hope you sorted.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Update getting frustrated.

Well email came through today I have to resend my criterion 5 which asks about clinical hours ,apparently it has to be certified .
The one sent was original and it was signed by head of school of health ..really AHPRAH feel like giving up.They can see its from university I responded and said can uni electronically verify I know they will say no but just thought I would try .

Although I was liaising with Perth office I have noted that it's Sydney office dealing with my application now.Pulling my hair out...

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Hey thre just a quick one .
Did you have confirmation of your clinical hours confirmation certified when u sent it off?

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

We have an appointment with a Notary on Friday so will hopefully have it sent this week! £120 + VAT for 10 documents, however I have counted the university document as 1 and i have a feeling they will count it as multiple (it has many many pages).

I have not checked all the details that university have sent us but they said they have done this before and that what they sent meets the requirements. I will double check this tonight now you have said that though!

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Make sure you check it and double check pharmacology /medicine management.Have you had from fit2work yet? they are usually quick.Will wait for their response to my email but have since email the lady who assisted me last from my uni to redo a confirmation of clinical hours letter.

Sevenpot please shed some light regarding your clinical hours confirmation criteria 5 .

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Yes Fit2Work has come back.

The clinical hours is simply a list of hospitals/wards and weeks worked with an hours to weeks conversion, signed and on headed paper. My only concern with this is that they have abbreviated the hospital names and wards, but this is listed in detail again on the CV.

There are a couple of letters regarding the pharmacology/medicine management side of things, the first explains the course follows EU directives which require all nurses to do this and references the relevant sections in the course outline, and the second is the EU directives list/explanation stating this is a requirement for UK nurses.

All of this comes with a coversheet with a check list so I may send this as well.

All good ,all the best

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Your program of study included a minimum of 800 hours of workplace experience* providing exposure to a variety of healthcare settings.

*Definition of workplace experience is taken from the 2012 ANMAC Registered Nurse Accreditation Standards, and used with permission:

‘a component of nursing education which allows students to use judgment when applying theoretical knowledge in an actual practice setting. Includes concept of 'clinical training' as set out under National Law.’


Hey guys I can't seem to find the old version of IQNM 1-8 which told us what an applicant had to provide or what your place of study has to sent direct to AHPRAH that version did not ask for evidence to be certified it only says provide the evidence of work place hours

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

Quick update after a few emails back an fourth Ahpra have agreed for my uni to send confirmation via email yes Ahpra I couldn't believe so that's has been done now just waiting for a response now pheeewwww ....

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
 

That is a relief Zulu.

The application is now in the post, sent by Royal Mail tracked at £19! Had to pay £165 to get the documents notarised, he made all copies himself and each document was signed and bound to his template and sealed with ribbon/sticker as well as being stamped.

For anyone else out there the following was certified:
Degree certificate + transcript
Degree course outline (90 pages)
Letter from Uni explaining pharmacology etc.
Letter from Uni stating hours on placement
Letter from AQA stating GCSE's were taught and assessed in English with a transcript of results (School has closed down so had to go to the examining board!)
Work reference/testimonials each with a job description for each of the 3 jobs held since graduation
Passport
Driving License
Bank Statement + Credit Card

Along with this was a copy of the Fit2Work cover page and a signed CV.

I think (HOPE) this is everything.
