i think it's asking as to what division of the register you intend to be registered, it could be RGN - registered general nurse division 1, 2, RPN - psychiatric or intellectual disability/mental handicapped. It will normally be based on your initial registration from where you got your registered nurse status. Normally they would ask of your registration for the period of 5 years.
in my case i have 2 registration: philippines and ireland so i contacted both nursing bodies to send a verification of my registration straight to AHPRA..
i'll be presenting myself to AHPRA perth on February 20th for proof of identity.

hope it all goes well for you..

Thanks for the help! Waiting for my manager to write the letter for my employment. It's not a reference there after is it? Just to tell the Australian government that your employed is it?
Proof of identification, apart from arriving in person what else does that involve?

yeah you need reference from your employer to make sure send 2 employment certs, CV in an australian format..
if you complete the whole process you will be issued an eligibility letter valid for 12 months to present yourself to get the full registration. It involves four categories of proof of identity that a corresponding documents for each categories must be met..

Oh right I didn't realize it was a proper reference they required as on the form it just asks for them to describe the role of employment and dates of when I worked for them?
Good luck for feb. will feel unreal if I get to that stage of the process.

hello,

sorry was too busy during the week and never got the chance to look at the forum
anyway the proof of identity is the last required check before the registration is granted and is normally completed in 1 - 2 week period. if you get your eligibility letter and you present yourself you will be asked to furnish documents in four categories:
Category A: commencement of identity (you need your overseas passport with corresponding Australian visa.
Category B: Link between the identify and person by means of photo and signature (driver's license or international driver's license with photo and signature. or passport if not used in category A).
Category C: Evidence of identity operating in the community (Bank Account in Australia showing name, signature and current ATM card. medicare care if applied or health insurance card will do)
Category D: Evidence of identity's residential address ( lease agreement, mortgage documents, proof of address such as utility bills etc - all in Australia)

there are some exemptions in these categories such as presenting oneself on the first six weeks of arrival. After this period, an additional requirements maybe required.

Hope this is informative..

oh sorry, i might have placed some misleading informations -

upon 6 weeks of arrival - you're only required to present the following:
* passport or travel document (visa) with evidence of arrival date (immigration stamp)
* employment offer or contract.

after 6 weeks you will be asked to furnish all categories i mentioned above.

Best of Luck!!!!
