have practicing licence (wallet card), we however being in Victoria will have
to re-register when we get there to get practicing licence. Different States,
different procedures.
I thought by your previous question that you are still at the stage of sending off for skills assessment, but you have your determination letter so you are fine.
The whole problem for us was Victoria do not issue practicing licence on INITIAL registration, but your state obviously does and should you have been just about to send off for skills assessment (Form A)you would have to enclose a certified copy. You are away ahead of this and does not apply to you.
Hope this clear things up for you.
Cheers

Perhaps someone else will let us know.

When are you aiming to be over there, my skills assessment took the longest 6mths to get all the info as i lost certs or didn't bother picking them up and get the letter of determination back. The visa part of it took 4 mths 1 day as i did (unreq) meds 2 mths after visa appl and pcc's a month later.
Having a glass now too, heres to you getting your visa soon!!
I am going 29th july, house not sold yet but hubby staying til it does but i need to be over there for interviews coming up.
All the best

Re: Question for Nurses
Thanks Guys,
But still confused and wondering wether to risk not getting verification from NBV like some of you havent. ANMC will have a verification from UK and certified copy of my NBV reg - surely thats enough? Might clarify this via an email to NBV. Let you know.

I await a reply. On the nurses forum a couple of people very wisely registered with another state and then did a mutual recogintion for queensland - apparently this only takes about 6 weeks. worth knowing if you haven't already registered.
I should get by UK rego in October at the latest, so I think I'll take your advice and that of others and follow this route thus saving myself a long wait.
