Hey all, for those overseas nurses who would like to work in australian, will have to go thru the australian nursing council, except for the nurses from NZ, England, Singapore, South africa and HK.

Each states in OZ have their own nursing council BUT if the overseas nurse applies to the state board, they will refer him/her to the Australian nursing council which is the legal nursing body of the country.

Heres the site http://www.anci.org.au

I am RN having 3yr diploma in GN and midwife, is there any scope out in Autralia

jayna, RN · Jun 17, 2003

Kashish,

To be RN in australia or NZ you have to earn a BA, but the better people to check up with are those from the Australia nursing council, they'll advice you on how to go about things to earn the RN in australia, because as I said earlier that if you applied to each state in australia, they will always refer you to the Australia nursing council ( the main body).

And this questions goes to the nursing councils, how well collaborated/coordinated are the states in Australia to the main nursing council in Canberra. Its confusing .....but that has to be a new thread.

In the meantime if there are any questions please feel free to ask!!
