Professional Perspectives: Non practicising registration
I have been on the non-practising register as a nurse for 11 years but I still work clinically as a midwife. Is there a time limit on the amount of time I can remain non-practising?
No, there is no time limit to being on the non-practising register provided you continue to pay the registration fee. Once on the non-practising register you are not required
under the National Law to meet registration standards of recency of practice, CPD, or professional indemnity insurance. However, due to the amount of time spent non-practising, you will be unable to re-enter the workforce without further study.
