You are eligible for licensure there with the BSN from your country without taking the Master's program. Not sure if you are aware of that fact. If you have at least two years of paid experience, then you just need to apply there for licensure. If you have less, then you will need to either complete a six month program or complete a series of assessments.

You do not need the MN to be able to get licensed there.

I don't think Griffith University is offering an MN (pre-registration) program. I've inquired with them before and only the BN program would suit you. The only MN (pre-registration) programs I know so far are from University of Sydney and University of Melbourne.
