Hi,

just waiting for my statement of service from work then I can get my paperwork verified but - how long can I leave it till I actually post it off to Perth office?

Gonna be a bit tight till I get paid again in November for the £350 for application and registration fee:-/

just a bit worried that alot of my paper work will av 'true and correct dates of beginning of October then certified mid October; then posted mid November- does anyone think this would be a problem for Ahpra?

I don't think a few weeks will make a difference to them, longer than a few months might. Remember it takes around a week or so for the application to arrive. I sent mine Airsure over Easter and although it arrived in Melbourne around 6-7 days later it sat in their sorting office for another 5 days. Sending a week before payday would be safe.

Shop around for certification, mine cost nothing with a Justice of the Peace.

Thanks Gilraen,

my local magistrate court said they will verify everything for £25 which is great :-) just waiting on my statement of service from HR.

I will get it posted early November and the verification and managers signitures should be no more than 6 weeks old hopefully this will be okay for Ahpra. (fingers crossed)

I haven't asked but how are u doing with everything? :-)

GilraenH

That sounds great!! good luck with the application.

I'm good visa will come through any day now and we fly at the beginning of November. I start work on the 19th November

Have to do APHRA etc in Sydney first though.

GilraenH

We have some temp accommodation sorted and leaving dos have started, there are around 6 of them.......too many goodbyes though......that's the hardest bit of all.

Where are you in your plans?

Well the registration with AHPRA is the beginning of my journey, then hoping to get sponsored employment, once I have registered then I can put an expression of interest on skill select and see where it goes from there.
Been looking at Perth area, and community nursing. I work with teenage parents and their children at moment improving health and well being outcomes but also school health x

U done really well to get u registration in May and u already secured employment and flying out! That's quick! Which visa are u going on and which type of nursing area r u? :-)

I am a Health Visitor, but been working as a Child Protection nurse for a few years. So going to do Child and Family Health Nursing in Rural NSW. Going on a 457 and being sponsored for PR when I get out there. We are in the same field I think.
