Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the AHPRA nurse registration process.
How long does AHPRA registration take?
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.
Do I need to sit an exam?

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.

What English language tests are accepted?
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.
