Hiya,

Im nursing in the UK but looking to come to Australia to nurse for a few years/possibly move. I was wondering if someone could give me info on a past criminal record and gaining entry into australia?? if u have a partner who has a criminal record as a teenager (for stealing a car) but has been good for many years since would that exclude him from being allowed into Australia or New Zealand??? thanks for your help

hi CheAnne and welcome to the forum

the link provided by Silverdragon102 a couple of posts back is indeed an apt source of info for options in Australia, both in length and content.

for more discussion re: the bridging course, you may try this link

initially, you may want to visit some official sources as the

Australian Nursing and Midwifery Board

and/or the respective registration boards of each state/territory

Victoria

Western Australia

New South Wales

Queensland

Northern Territory

Tasmania

South Australia

in lodging your application, you may do it on your own, with the help of a lot of resources and inferences from the experiences of others who have already done so, or are in the process of doing so. on the other hand, if you have the resources, they say there are also consultancy firms who can assist you in the same.

HOw did you start your initial registration in NMBWA? How long will the bridging course take?

hi nursenette :yeah:

for details re: registration with NMBWA, pls visit their website here, specifically for internationally-educated nurses

you'll need the following: application form and fee au$220, proof of identity (passport, birth/marriage certificate), ielts of at least 7.0 in each area, certificate of good standing from prc, copy of your board certificate and prc license, TOR + RLE, employment certificates if applicable.
