Being a registered nurse in Australia is not an easy task and you need to go through a lot of steps that need to be taken with care. If you are an overseas nurse looking for a career in Australia, then the most basic and measurable factor is your English Language Proficiency. The popular exam for testing your English Language Proficiency is the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). IELTS exam is conducted on an international level and nurses need to pass this exam with a good score to make them qualify to become a registered nurse in Australia.
As of now, a nurse should obtain an IELTS test result of 7.O overall (Academic) which include band scores of Speaking 7.0, Writing 7.0, Listening 7.0, Reading 7.0. An overall IELTS score of 7.0 with no minimum band scores may be accepted. If you are a nurse coming from United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland, USA or Canada, you don't need to take the IELTS exam.
Once you score the required points in the IELTS exam, then you can proceed with your next steps of becoming a registered nurse in Australia. So if you do not have taken the IELTS exam yet, then go for it at the earliest and kick start your dream of a successful nursing career in Australia.
