Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
You see, this is what REALLY annoys me about this whole thing! AHPRA is there (presumably) to protect Australians as patients and Australian hospitals. It is THEIR protective body against potential law suites. Yet when a hospital wants to know what AHPRA is up to, instead of going and asking AHPRA - they harrass candidates who are most probably in another country.
The clue in this is the "A" in AHPRA - it stands for "AUSTRALIAN".
Maybe you should be advising AHPRA that the hospital concerned doesn't understand it's own processes - there has to be a QA failure in that somewhere!

Well I had to confirm to the case officer at AHPRA that I needed the extension from 90 days to 12 months for my partner presenting herself and valid ID, it took him 2 weeks to confirm this! I guess it is low priority but even so, they seem very slow. Hopefully you guys will have something soon, I would say no contact is good from my brief experience with them!

AHPRA application sent off this morning tracked mail. Thought I would feel relieved to see it all gone but now I suppose the waiting game starts.
Can't thank MGreaves enough for all your help.

I have an RN who submitted in May, told in August everything was OK and would go to the Board in September.
It didn't!

Hopefully everything is correct first time and you will have your registration in 6-8 weeks.

Royal Mail tracked? That is not so great as your tracking only works up to Heathrow Airport, then you hear nothing until it is delivered! Mine got stuck with Aus Post, however if you ring Royal Mail they are able to track it in more detail.

But anyway, as you say you've done all you can now, if you've missed anything you still have time to correct it before you fly! Fingers crossed you get it back ASAP.

Re: AHPRA form finally sent /TImeline will be updated
But anyway that won't cause too much of an issue if there is a delay, congratulations on finally getting it sent off. Assuming everything is there you should have registartion back in a couple months.
As i've said in past posts, hearing nothing seems to be a good sign!
Edit: Oh as I said to Nurse Becky, you can track it using the Aus Post website and your Royal Mail tracking number once it arrives in Sydney, however for me the issue was it got stuck in the airport so by the time it made it to Aus Post it was delivered straight away.

Haha I was debating mgreaves remembering your advise but cheapest option already spent an arm and leg, gonna resist tracking it and will hopefully know when they take the money, let's see how patient I can be haha .....

... bear in mind also that the post takes considerably longer to travel around Oz than it does in the UK.
