NMC Verification £34.00
University Transcript £40.00
Some certified copies of things £10.00
Registration in WA £90.00 = approx $400AUD
Modified Skills Assessment $185
Total=$585
Full ANMC skills assessment $630
If you applied for a full skills assessment then your registration, you would need 2 university transcripts.

Also, I do have a copy of my Uni transcript - which I used for a visa back in 1997. The Uni sent this to me not direct to Oz. Can I use this rather than pay again. As I said it's a copy, I don't think the Uni would send the original?

Re: visa refused
We have applied just on my hubby's skills. We have calculated that he has 120 points on his own, but this depends on a case officers interpretation of if hubbys actual occupation and his skills assessment are closely related. To be on the safe side we have also claimed 5 bonus points for capital investment that we are prepared to make if we don't hit the 120 points. I wasn't happy to use my skills to get points as my PCT is reorganising and I think I will be at risk of redundancy later this year, I didn't want to give them any excuse to get rid of me. I asked a previous employer for a reference to register as evidence of practice only needs to have been in the past 5 years. You will need to register as a Nurse over there anyway at some point and will incur costs in that, but granted these are costs that you could delay 'til nearer the time. If you register first and then go for a modified skills assessment, it is only really going to cost you £80.00 for those 5 spouse skills points that might give you a bit more peace of mind. If you need to re-register before you get to Oz, these seems to be quite reasonable at $90.00.

Re: visa refused
We seem to be crossing
I have not had a skills assessment done as I have not claimed any points.
The transcript I originally sent was my student transcript stating modules taken and my grade. I think they wanted something more detailedthat stated amount of hours undertook in pre-reg training in midwifery, mental health, paeds etc.

We applied for a skilled independent visa as my wife is a nurse, and it looked like we sailed through the points system but the reason given for refusal was that my wife didnt work enough hours at the moment,
so why were we asked for medicals and police checks,
Does anyone know if this the end of the line as regards to this application.

Not usually a smart option for nurses, most can qualify for a permanent visa more easily than this temporary one.
