If you are an internationally qualified nurse/ midwife who is interested in working in Australia, then it is important for you to review the following important information about immigration to Australia, and registration and employment as a nurse or midwife in Australia.
To work as a nurse/midwife in Australia, you should apply for and be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). You also need to apply for a visa issued by the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (Australian Immigration Department).
These two application processes are entirely separate and success in one does not automatically guarantee the success in the other.
Immigration to Australia
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) is an independent organization that is gazetted by the Minister for Immigration to perform skills assessment for migration purposes. ANMAC assesses the skills of internationally qualified nurses and midwives who are looking to migrate to Australia under the General Skilled Migration program.
Registration and employment as a nurse or midwife in Australia
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) assesses the applications for registration from internationally qualified nurses and midwives on behalf of the NMBA. The NMBA is governed by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law as in force in each state and territory and is responsible for the final decision on each application.
International applicants must meet the registration standards and qualification criteria in order to become eligible for registration as a nurse.
