Australian nurse NNAS process question

Published

Hi all,

I am currently going through the process of NNAS. My uni has completed these forms before, so hopefully will add lots of detail.

Has anyone degree from Australia been comparable? or at least somewhat comparable.

And how did everyone get AHPRA to fill out the NNAS form? they state they will not fill it out under any circumstance but will provide NNAS with a certificate of good standing to prove registration.

I have all my notarized forms done by a lawyer, and i will send via registered international express post. I have sent my requirements off to my uni. My employee forms are all completed. Does anyone know if the work hours are actually required for anything specific?

I will be applying to Alberta. Would love to hear everyone else's experiences or their journey.

Thank for any info guys.

Update-

i have spoken with NNAS tonight and they state they are well aware of AHPRA’s certificate of good standing certificate and they do accept this. I have asked for that as an email confirmation also. I have sent my reguest for a good standing cert to AHPRA yesterday. I’ll let you know how I go.

here is their email reply, if this helps anyone.

Hello and thank you for using NNAS!

You are correct and we are aware of these modalities with the Australian Nursing Authorities.

Therefore we do accept that you comply with their own way for the verification of your registration.

AHPRA will only send the certificate of your registration in a sealed envelope directly to our office.

You may proceed as they instructed you even as they do not wish to fill the NNAS verification form.

We hope this information was clear and helpful.

Thank you. Best Regards.

NNAS Support team.

Hey Chelsea,

I'm in the process of completing my NNAS application at the moment too. Thanks so much for sharing your reply from the NNAS peeps. That will help knowing that. Quick q - did you say registration from Ahpra was by examination or endorsement?

Endorsement.

I also received my COMPARABLE report yesterday! I have applied to CARNA today.
