Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
Is your timeframe a year from the start of your AHPRA application, or from now?
Just thought I would put in an update for anyone who is degree qualified and applying to AHPRA. My registration has just been approved. It has taken 5 months all in with the longest delay coming from the NMC here. The time frame to get to Australia is a year. If you aren't there within three months you have to sign a declaration of good standing as the NMC one runs out.

Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
Does anybody know if you need to obtain professional indemnity insurance for Australia before you can lodge your application with AHPRA and before you leave the UK?!
Or do you tick 'no I do no have professional indemnity insurance' and just obtain it when you enter the country?
Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hi, you tick yes. This means that, before you practice you are responsible with making sure you have Indemnity Ins. In place... Good luck!

Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
Hi all,
Yesterday my RO sent me an email requesting for my cv, which I already sent again last month, and apparently saying that I did not sign and date the cv.
I'm in the process of posting another one, and got another email today saying that the Board is sitting on 30 October and that, I may not have enough time for them to receive the information. So they were proposing an extension until 31 March 2015.
Quite strange when all that's needed is my signed and dated CV. I called them and they stated that the cv was Fine but that I need to sign it..
Anyone every experienced this.
My problem is I'm away on holiday in Israel, and having to post documents via main Post and trying to converse in y broken Hebrew is not helping too...
Good day ya'll

Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
No but maybe ask them that by granting an extension - and that is a pretty long one - will that hold things up if your CV arrives before or just after the 30th. If it means they won't start processing it until next March id get on with it pronto!

Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
Hi all

Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
Does anyone know how you compile your application pre-mailing it?! For eg: what order things go in.
....Do you slot evidence into the hand filled in form, or do you mix the application form and 1-8 criteria. Also where do you place all your CPD evidence the work history section of the application form?!
any help would be greatly appreciated....
Also what did people write on their cover letter for the application did you do a contents page?! sorry to be a pain!

Re: My experience so far - Applying to AHPRA
Hey,
You sound as if you know what you're doing so far and I've got a really worrying question. My last 12 months have been spent working in Dementia with challenging behaviour and EMI units (im an RMN and this has been in nursing home environments). They are refusing point blank to provide statements of service as it's against company policy, which isn't really a surprise because their references are the bare minimum. Im panicking now. My initial job after qualifying was in a close support setting with young adults and it's the same story. I completed a 12 month internship with the NHS and they are more than happy to provide the statement. I don't know what to do.

Have you checked the AHPRA and ANMAC criteria to see if they will accept references from superiors other than your employer?
