I am an overseas qualified nurse; how can I gain registration in Australia?

Information about eligibility and the assessment process for internationally qualified nurses and midwives (IQNM) can be found on the Nursing and Midwifery Board (NMBA) website https://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Accreditation/IQNM.aspx. There are different requirements depending on the Country in which you gained your qualification, English language requirements and visa considerations.

Once you do gain registration and start working in Australia, we recommend you join the relevant branch of the ANMF (the Union for nurses and midwives) in the state or territory you are working. This will ensure your employment rights are protected and you have access to ongoing education as well as professional, work health and safety, and legal support and advice.
