How to Migrate to Australia as a Nurse: ANMAC Skills Assessment Explained
Migrating to Australia as a nurse requires completing a nursing skills assessment through the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC). At World Access Immigration, we provide expert guidance to help you navigate this process and ensure your qualifications meet the requirements for working as a nurse in Australia. Here’s everything you need to know.
Requirements for Nursing Skills Assessment
- Full Skills Assessment: If you’re a Registered Nurse or Midwife in the UK, Ireland, US, Canada, or Hong Kong, with at least a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing or Midwifery, you may qualify for a Full Skills Assessment. Proof of English language proficiency is required.
- Modified Skills Assessment: If you are a Registered Nurse or Midwife in Australia or New Zealand, you may qualify for a Modified Skills Assessment, which does not require proof of English language competency.
- Modified PLUS Skills Assessment: Nurses with a ‘Notice of in-principle approval of registration’ from AHPRA can apply for a Modified PLUS Skills Assessment without needing an English language test.
