How can International nurse become a nurse in AUSTRALIA?


Hi,
I am a registered nurse in a foreign country. I have Passed Bachelor's Degree in nursing and have 3 years of work experience. I am planning of going to Australia to work as a nurse. If someone has been through this process, can you please guide me in this matter. Thank you all.

I have moved your thread to the International Forum since it is specific to licensure and immigration. We ask that any questions pertaining to these two topics go to this forum since most of the nurses in Australia are not aware of the requirements needed.

You have not mentioned where you have trained, so it is hard to be specific as to your requirements. Oz has different requirements based on where you have trained.

There are quite a few threads on this forum with the specifics that you will need to complete in order to be able to work there, please just do a search for them.

Hi from australia,
I´m a Registered Nurse from the Philippines and Germany, worked mostly in Aged care in Germany. We are now living in Australia and I´ve gone through some frustrations getting my Registration to work here as a Nurse. I was in Germany when I processed my papers for Registration. And here are the following requirements:
1. IELTS ACADEMIC tests result with 7.0 band score out of 9 , 6.5 for listening and reading and 7.0 for writing and
speaking.
2. Sponsorship or Residence Visa
3. Current Registration from country of origin
4. Work experiences and References
5. Transcript of Records and Diploma
6. Filled up forms from the Nursing Board in any choice of State in Australia plus A$358 (in ACT for a year).

If you speak English there´s no problem working here in Australia, as Nurses are in high demand. Especally when you´re still young.

Regards,
