Hi, I was wondering if anyone can shed me some light ... I am an RN, with post reg experience both in the UK and Phil. I am planning to go for skilled migration under subclass 189. I would like to claim points for 3 years overseas experience. But just got in a bit of confusion as my post-reg nursing experience in the UK is only 1yr, 9mos (although if you would consider the period of supervised nursing practice, I would have 2 years, 4 months total). That is on top of 1 yr post-reg experience in the Philippines. So my question is....do I fall short for the 3-year overseas work experience requirement? Reading the guidelines, it says I needed "skilled employment in your nominated skilled occupation or a closely related skilled occupation". So....is working as a healthcare assistant (while on supervised nursing practice), for example, classed as a 'closely related profession?'. I have worked over 3 years in the healthcare industry in the UK, but only less than 2 years post-reg as a nurse. HELP!

Hey Stef, I hope you don't mind me asking. Was that with an agency or via the hospital itself? As with the current recruitment freeze in WA, I'm a bit anxious about my chances at getting sponsorship at all :-( But will try to keep positive here. Well done on your interview! xx

Would you mind send me your cv sample too? Updating my CV at present. Wasn't really satisfied with the one I sent to ahpra. Thanks a million! xx

Hi Chelsea, I have just under 2 years post registration nursing experience in the UK. WOuld I qualify for sponsorship? been struggling finding employers who provide sponsorship at present. A bit worried about making the big move to here. xx casz

I've done all the AHPRA application over a year ago, and got the decision last May. They required me to do the pre-registration bridging program (still, despite my UK experience). So here I am...

Hi all! Well...I've been here just over two weeks now. (escaped the wet winter in the UK. yay!) How's everyone doing?
