How to apply as a Nurse in Australia

[adyhottie]

I am a registered nurse in the Philippines working at the ICU for 2 years now.

I have a boyfriend who is a permanent resident in Australia.

He will sponsor me for a prospective visa or what we call Fiance visa.

I am just wondering do I have to apply first at the Nursing Council of Victoria Australia for assessment of my nurse degree prior to moving there or

I can have my nurse degree and credentials be assessed after I get there?

I know I have to attend a bridging program but what is the best advice, should I apply while I am still here for assessment or when I get there?

HELP.. he is at Victoria state.
