To apply as an Enrolled Nurse in Australia, you'll need to follow these steps:

Credential Assessment. Get your qualifications and experience assessed by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC).
English Proficiency. Provide proof of English language proficiency through tests like IELTS or OET, if required.
Registration. Apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Visa: Apply for an appropriate visa to work in Australia, such as the Skilled Migration visa.

Here's a great resource for you, a flyer created for international health practitioners.

Good luck!
