Hi, I am a UK, Dual Diploma Qualified Practitioner. Social Work (DipSW) and Registered Nurse Learning Disability. I am considering a move to Australia and at this point am looking for some advice. It seems from the websityes that I have visited that NSW is the only state which recognises Learning Disability Nursing as a registered nurse profession. I have also been advised that by mutual agreement I could register in NSW and then work as a registered nurse in another state...I am considering mental health services as this is my practice background. My question is do NSW nursing board accept UK 'Diploma' Registered nurse, as I keep coming across info which indicates registration is based on degree level qualifications...please can you help so that I can get on with applying for NSW nurse registration
thanks
