Hello,
If anyone has successfully gone through the process of the application form with the ahpra agency please tell me there is light at the end of the tunnel.... I am trying to work in Australia as a midwife from the uk and they have sent me more things I still need to forward on! Can anyone help??? They want transcripts of my theory subject hours and clinical subject hours. As well as my clinical experience areas from my university!
My university only provided my theory hours when I qualified! I don't know what to do? They make it so hard to work out there?

Hi nee_tye

I am also a Uk midwife. I have just started filling out my form for registration with APHRA. I was just wondering which documents you had certified and did you get a solicitor to certify them? Apparently it takes APHRA a long time to process applications. Good look and keep us update. Do you have a visa and sponsorship?

Hi
I am a midwife who as come out of the other side of AHPRA !!!!! It took 6 months frm start to finish .
I was at University of Manchester they are used to receiving requests for further info on studies.
You just pay a fee, but make sure when u get everything notarised, did mine at the local court and asked the judge to notarise 3 copies(cost £25 no matter how many copies u av, and don't be put off by pen pushers saying they can't do them).....make sure you send everything with DHL mine went astray twice!!!!
If you need any advice direct message me and I will give u my email..... Easier than here!!!!

They are asking for a syllabus of your midwifery theory plus a breakdown of your clinical exposure. The transcript is a summary of all your curriculum subject from the year you started until finish. If midwifery is four years, your school has to furnish a transcript of your education from first to fourth year plus the record of your clinical experience.

Of course there's a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Best of Luck!!!

Thanks for the advice. I just need to find somewhere to get copies of documents certified and then wait for the lengthy process to start.

Thanks for everyones advice. I have contacted my university and I have requested another copy of my transcripts that show my theory hours but they don't have anything to show my clinical hours. So I am stuck with what to do. I have put so much into this.

Hi Jem

I got mine certified by a solicitor which did cost a lot. They certified my passport, driving license, certificates, transcripts, certificates of study days! Basically everything. But the NMC and IELTS, you request them to be sent to the AHPRA depending on which state you like to work in. I have my visa just waiting on my registration. Hope your application is going well!

Not a midwife but registered with AHPRA everything has to be notarised used a notary republic very expensive indeed as totalled about 10 documents at £50 each it is important that you send all required documents.
Long process but worth it in the end, NMC need to chase them up and make sure they send the letter as they don't always do

Hang in there, takes time but worth in the end

Hi,

Get your docs notarised at the local court. It's a fixed fee take all your photocopies n originals . Then the court slot u in either before or after a session .
The judge as long as they are a JP can do them irrespective of what people tell you on the fone!!!
This is the cheapest way to do it.
I went to our local court:- Oldham , booked in with the office who then books you on to go in court.
It takes a few hours of messing about, but saves alot of money.
I did 3 copies of everything and took hubby's driving licence, passport ..... Cause I know we will need them further down the line.
I took the guideline highlighted for the judge to read.
Good luck..... Took me 6months in total, trying to get my Health Visiting registered now !!!!!!
