Hi hammond park is nice. Brand new hospital due to open soon. Shopping centre in cockburn 5 mins away. Good rail links. 20 mins drive to freo. 15 mins drive to beach. Lots of local schools and little parks. A new sports centre has just been agreed by local govt so it's worth a look. I live here and family friendly with links to everything x

Hi. We are in hammond park. Lots of schools locally and easy access to beach (15 mins). Train station (5 mins drive) shopping centre (5mins drive). Freeway ( 2 mins drive). Lots of lovely houses and parks here ESP for kids your kids ages we pay €550 per fortnight for 4 bed brand new house with great outside area. Worth a look x

Contact them ASAP in my opinion cos criteria only changed 10th feb and even nurse managers here in in WA are not aware of it x

Hi. Not received notice of fit to practice yet!!! I've already given them full notarised transcript of degree. In fact I think they've got everything except my flaming bra size!!! I've had some good advice from a user on this forum and it's reignited my enthusiasm for proceeding with this. I was ready to give up and find a job elsewhere but once a nurse always a nurse and it's such a shame!!! Watch this space!! X

My most recent update - called ahpra yesterday for about 20th time. Following changes to their process which were initiated on 10th feb (my application was submitted sept and money taken 4th nov. All docs required were submitted and acknowledged by ahpra as being complete ie nothing else required). I am now informed that because my initial nursing training was modular (not a degree. It was 1987!!!) I may not be eligible to practice in Australia and my application may be rejected. This is despite me having a subsequent degree in community nursing. I have experience in school nursing district nursing and health visiting as well as hospital experience. I am a nurse prescriber. I was a team leader before I moved here and I have been offered two jobs so far - all I am waiting for us ahpra. Can they really change the goalposts for me so late in the day??? They took my money quickly enough. Anyone got some advice that I can give them - polite only cos I know what I really want to tell them to do!!!

Fingers crossed. Good luck and feel free to get in touch if I can help in any way. Xx

Hi. If I was you I would start to gather your information together as there is so much to get. I suspect ahpra may bring out more info soon coz they've just changed the info they require from international applicants. I agree it's not very straightforward/clear. You can email them and ask them re the timescale. I applied last sept and still waiting - I've been in Australia since January!!! I've got no idea what's going on with my application despite emailing , phoning, requesting a meeting!!! Sorry to be so doom and gloom but apparently they re desperate for nurses!!! Mmmmm!

Say 10.45?? Do you want to do the beach cafe at coogee or is there somewhere else nearby?? I've got car so don't mind cx

Hi zena. How about a coffee sat mid morning?? Cxx
