Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

and forgot to mention, you cant get a PR without skills assessment being completed first

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

[QUOTE=wattsbug;9303061]its a little more tricky than that because you wont actually be fully registered until you present at an ahpra office with your visa. you will only receive a letter stating that you are deemed eligible for registration. this is known as an 'in principle' letter.
From what ive read and heard, the in principle letter is not enough for a modified assessment with anmc as you need to be fully regisitered. Looks like you will have to do the full anmc assessment if you want a PR. i would contact anmc by email to clarify this though.

As I don't have IELTS (I have submitted proof for secondry school english education), I cannot go for a full assesment. Anyway, pls share information you may receive from ANMC.
I think, I should find an employer first; that is the option I have..
Thanks for ur reply

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Also, could u pls tell me, once I find an employer, what are the procedures? How long it will take to get the visa etc..?

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

hey. once eligible for registration, get a job! the timelines all depends on police checks and references. once you have ref/police clearance, the employer, if pre agreed, will submit a nomination for you to diac. once this is in then you complete your online 457 visa application, upload scanned supporting documents and wait to be told to get police checks and medicals.(you can pre arrange these apprently to speed up the process). Thats as far as im aware, others may wish to correct me though:huh:

The whole porocess from interview to having visa in your hand can be as quick as a couple of months to six months.

the actual visa application can be as quick as week to 2 weeks!!

hope that helps:fingerscrossed:

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Thanks a lot....Now, I am waiting to hear from AHPRA....

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Hey everyone

I will graduate this September and plan to apply for my registration through APHRA straight away when I get my NMC pin through. Does anyone know of any potential problems because I will be newly qualified with no post registration experience? I am able to get a working holiday visa and have been told by a few employers that my application for jobs will be considered provided I have a visa and registration

Cheeers

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Hi all,
I have posted my application in December and they took payment in February. Last month I contacted them and they said my file is with an assessment officer and they will contact me within 3-4 weeks. I contacted them again after 4 months, then they says your file is not allocated to an assessment officer...!!?? Is this office in Somaliya or in Australia...!!????? I think, if they hand over this office to school childrens , they might handle it more efficiently than this idiots....!!

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Does any one know whether it is possible to use a letter of "eligibility to register" issued in another state say South Australia of it can be used in another state? My AHPRA registration has taken long such that I may not have the offered job in SA when it comes out but there are lots of mental health jobs in Sydney.

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

its australia wide, so yes you can use it in any state you wish. you can also present at any office to finalise it. same happened to me. lost a job offer because they could not get their finger out. however used it to our advantage and am going to a different stae instead. thats as long as we get a visa:fingerscrossed:

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Thanks Wattsburg, Infact i spoke to the case manager at AHPRA SA this morning and was told that my application is being tabled before the registrations committee and would be informed in the coming weeks the final decision in the post. It has been a long agonising wait.................... but it would be great to move on and start other processes ahead such as visa application. :thumbsup:

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Finally, after a long wait my letter of eligibility to register has come through the post and now have to start preps for visa application.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Hey!

I recently lodged my visa application and I am starting to think about registering with AHPRA. could you please tell me when the best time to register is? the timeline I was given for visa to be granted is 12 months approx.

Thank you very much.

Re: AHPRA = Joke
 

Hi,

The eligibility letter from AHPRA is valid for 12 months and considering the time it takes maybe if you were to lodge an application 3 - 4 months after your visa application that would be fine. I do not know the current waiting times with AHPRA coz it also depends which state you lodge your application. I understand Tasmania is best quickest option at present according to a recruitment consultant i met recently.
