Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Moved to the Nurse Registration forum in the world section

You have to meet APHRA requirements which now covers all of Australia

Hello Ian, Have you done any research lately? Number 1, need IELTS 7 one sitting, number 2 read the forum - New Grad Filipino Nurses...in Australia and New Zealand.

If you wanna???? (does this mean.....want to?) know anything else, post your questions there, those guys usually know everything, or find out.

PS Melbourne is getting crowded with nurses.

hi silverdragon - thank you! im confused because i have read that in order to get your credentials assessed you have to contact nbv.gov.au but when go to the website, you will be redirected to APHRA.

Again I say, have you done your research? there is no such thing anymore as NBV or the NSWNB go to the forum I suggested and or visit/national health practitioner board at Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency - Home as suggested before, if you want to/need ""wanna"" (no such english word) have more information.

I do not think you need any agency if you do your own research.
