Hopeful Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 As some of you know I am sitting on a ticking clock with regards timeframe to get a visa- I have commenced the ANMAC process and booked IELTS to ensure I am doing as much as I can to put myself in the best position for either a 186 or 190. My question is, should/ could I apply to APHRA without going through ANMAC first? and if I did would this allow me to submit an EOI for ENS or RENS that employers could see? thankyou anyone who can shed light on this for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Nothing to stop you applying for AHPRA but it does not provide you the ASCO code required for a PR visa - you need that from the ANMAC who are the skills assessors. The ANMAC will pass on your file to the AHPRA office of your choice I believe so that you don't have to duplicate all the documentation. Our health service e.g. would not offer ENS PR sponsorship in the first instance, you would be offered a 457 (temp visa) if applicable.

Hopeful Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks Ali, unfortunately a 457 is not an option for me as became apparent here due to my age, unless I was to receive a job offer in the higher income bracket. Is there not an option for a 186 on ENS or RENS in health at all? Think I am fighting a losing battle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 The ENS is usually in health (as far as i'm aware) is usually offered after a certain amount of time on the 457, I've not heard it offered right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeful Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Do you know who I could contact to discuss Ali? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I would contact hospitals directly and send your CV and a cover letter asking if they have any vacancies and that you would require sponsorship. Each hospital may operate differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
