Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.
Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

Hi! I think there`s no way you can enroll for IRON via ISIS. One of their representatives, though, advised me to scan all the papers required and e-mail it to their international application My guess is that, once you get an offer they will require you to submit the original/ certified copies.Another bad thing is that I`ve heard some "news" that La Trobe January 2013 intake is full, but I don`t really think it`s very reliable so I did what I needed to do-e-mail them. Hakhak. Nothing beats first-hand info. Good day.
Hi guys, i just got my LOE from ahpra few weeks ago and also confuse which iron provider to go with. la trobe is one of my choice as im still working up to november. Lets update each other as we are potential classmates.Cheers

I emailed my application package to *****,admission officer.
I know ahpra requires all7 band score for registration..but has anybody in here tried submitting an overall band score of 7.5 but with a 6.5 in just one of the subtests to ahpra for assessment and still got their LOE?
i know we still need to resit to be registered, but for the assessment part, would it still be possible to get LOE?

'"The internationally qualified applicant must meet all thecriteria of NMBA English language skills registration
standard including :
i) the International English Language Testing System
(IELTS) examination (academic module) with a minimum
score of seven in each of the four components (listening,
reading, writing and speaking)""
This would mean even to be assessed you must have 7 in IELTS, they will not assess saying that you must successfully pass a bridging course and pass 7 in all IELTS subtests in one sitting.
You must be proven to have good english communication skills in your clinical placement and therefore the bridging program schools should only be accepting applicants with the 7 all round in IELTS as well as this is the benchmark.
This is from the application form agos 40 for international nursing applicants:
""27. Which of the English language examinations listed below
have you successfully completed?
International English Language Test System (IELTS)
- academic module, with a minimum score of 7 in each of the four
components of listening, reading, writing and speaking
Occupational English Test (OET), with an overall pass and with
grades of A or B only in each of the four components of listening,
for those who had their interview with IHNA. what type of questions do they ask? can you please give me sample questions?! im so nervous! they scheduled me for an interview next week.
Refresher courses are usually for those people that have been previously registered as a nurse in Australia but have let their registration lapse and it has been over 5 years.
