Nursing APHARA Registration & ANMAC Skill Assessment
In Australia, the process for nursing registration and skills assessment 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).
To practice as a nurse in Australia, you must register with AHPRA. The registration process includes:
- Application: Submit an online application.
- Proof of Identity: Provide valid identification.
- English Language Proficiency: Meet required English language standards.
- Criminal History Check: Undergo a criminal background check.
- Certificate of Good Standing: Provide if previously registered outside Australia.
For skilled migration purposes, nurses must complete a skills assessment by ANMAC. This assessment verifies:
- Educational Qualifications: Ensures they meet Australian standards.
- Work Experience: Confirms relevant experience.
- English Language Proficiency: Demonstrates necessary language skills.
Successful completion of the ANMAC skills assessment is crucial for applying for skilled migration visas to Australia.
