Common questions about the AHPRA nurse registration process.
Processing times vary depending on your circumstances and the completeness of your application. Typically, it can take 4–12 weeks once all documents are submitted. Our team works to minimise delays by ensuring your application is complete from the start.
Some internationally qualified nurses may need to complete a bridging program or pass the NCLEX examination, depending on their qualifications and the country where they trained. We assess your individual situation to determine what’s required.
The NMBA accepts IELTS Academic, OET, PTE Academic, and TOEFL iBT. Specific score requirements apply, and we can advise you on the best test for your situation and preparation strategies.
You cannot practise as a nurse in Australia without AHPRA registration. However, depending on your visa conditions, you may be able to work in other roles. We can advise on your specific circumstances.
