Hi everyone, i am still waiting for my registration. Ahpra received it on the 6th july and everytime i called up they said they were waiting for my criminal history to come back. i handed in a stat dec for my criminal history last wednesday and now apparantly my application is "with the supervisor". i've missed the start of my grad program twice now and everytime i call Ahpra i can't even get through to Brisbane and end up talking to someone in a different state. so all up i've been waiting 10 weeks and have had to start working as an AIN to pay the bills. so frustrated.

Hi ash1983, I was very lucky and it only took six weeks for mine to come through. It doesn't make any difference what uni you attended or what paperwork you may have put in, it is purely luck of the draw. The one thing I know has worked for others is they have gone into the ahpra office with their work contract and a letter from the hospital stating the start date of their grad program. In most cases they have had their application completed within a few hours or the next day. This is after waiting months. The problem with ahpra is lack of staff, and rules being made up and changed as it goes along. One time when I was put through to another state office (I am in Brisbane) I was told that they have seven staff and if the computer program crashes which it frequently does they don't bother answering the phones as all they get is abuse, the manager I spoke to said people don't realise that they cannot do a thing to help as it is all on computer. I had my calls answered by security personal as well as the marketing department. Do not let them give you the line that if you stop calling they could get on with the job, the more pressure the more staff they will have to employ. good luck.

Hi Caz10. wow 6 weeks! i actually went into ahpra to hand in my stat dec and they also took a copy of my work contract so they have everything they need. i just called them and they are now telling me that it will be another 48 hours to 10 days before i'm registered!!! i think i will just have to be persistent in calling them everyday.

Hi ash1983 from what I have been told crying works as well....a friend was told 48 hours, three days later he phoned them once again got the run around so he started crying - the stress was just too much. He received his registration that day.

Hi guys' I have rego. now, i finished my course in june. It took me 5 visits, 12 phone calls, 2 emails and 2 trips to ANF. Go to the ANF and join as an member (associate) $20 and they will help you. What ever shit the AHPRA ask for just do it, no matter how unrelated, how stupid, just do what they ask. But go to the ANF.

Hi everyone. just remembered i was posting here! i ended up getting registered on the 14th after going to AHPRA in brisbane and being on the verge of tears. so it does seem to work! the lady at the front said she'd send an email to the manager and around 5pm that day i got a call saying i was registered. Finally!

Hi all,
This is my first post.
Today, I found out that AHPRA took payment for registration from my account.
Does that mean my application is successful and accepted by them?
I am a UK nurse applying from UK

Taking the money is the first thing AHPRA do, and does not indicate anything other than that they received your application. I know of Overseas applicants that are still waiting for an "initial asessment" after 11 months. Depending on which office you applied to, the average processing time seems to be about 6 months at the moment.
