IELTS is what is used in Australia. But as far as I am aware as long as you can prove that all your schooling (primary and secondary) was taught in english there is no need for it. Best to check with AHPRA though. https://www.ahpra.gov.au/

Moved to International Nursing forum.

The only ones able to make decision would be AHPRA as mentioned and linked in post above.

You will have to get your transcripts sent from your university of study to AHPRA and they will determine if you meet their requirements. You will also have to decide which state in Australia you wanted to live and then research the courses that they offer at each university if there is a shortfall in your nursing education. Also, there are an oversupply in some states, so finding a job might be a challenge and it might take you a while to obtain the required visa's to work in Australia. Good Luck, Nick.
