The process for nursing registration and skills assessment in Australia involves two key components: registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and skills assessment by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC).
AHPRA Registration
Nurses seeking to practice in Australia must register with AHPRA, which involves demonstrating that they have the necessary skills and qualifications to provide competent and ethical care. The registration process includes submitting an application online, providing proof of identity, and meeting English language proficiency standards. Applicants must also undergo criminal history checks and provide a certificate of good standing if previously registered outside Australia.
ANMAC Skills Assessment
For migration purposes, nurses must undergo a skills assessment by ANMAC. This assessment ensures that the applicant’s qualifications, skills, and experience meet Australian standards. The process involves verifying educational qualifications, work experience, and English language proficiency. Successful completion of the ANMAC skills assessment is essential for those applying for skilled migration visas to Australia.
