do any of you have any idea what is the first step of the process coz ive heard that they now have a national registration for nurses.

who should we contact for us to gather information regarding their requirement for foreign nurses who want to work and live in australia.

OMG have you looked around on these boards as yet?

start with the website here: AHPRA - Nursing and Midwifery

and this one here on the international board: International Nursing - Nursing for Nurses

You do not say what country you are from so that no other information can be given, as it depends where you got your qualification and where you have been working.

If you are a kiwi, shame on you...

I'm an RN in California with 20 years experience in the Emergency room and multiple specialty certifications including ACLS, PALS, Stroke Team certification and Certification in Emergency Nursing. I'm interested in moving to Launceston Tasmania. I have an associates degree and am wondering where to get started. I can't imagine having to go back to school at this point in my career. I also spent 2 years on a spinal cord injury unit as an LVN/LPN. Thank you for any help you might be able to give me.
