krisangel Jul 1, 2014 What do you mean by 'complete'? If you were able to meet the requirements of APHRA there will be no problem.--> Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - Overseas PractitionersNursing and Midwifery Board of Australia - IQNM: Criteria 1 - 8 for internationally qualified registered nursesI agree, you can actually do it by yourself. It will not only save you a hefty amount but also able to have a knowledge of the process, which is precisely what every nurses should be aware of. Well, if you don't want to get your hands dirty, go ahead and hire a third party.As for completeness, i suggest that you make a checklist of documents to be submitted. Double check the instructions (authenticated, with school/hospital seal, etc.) and if you have other questions and clarifications, you can email them directly. Most importantly READ. They post updates on their website every now and then. 0 Likes
