So how do you get started?

Firstly, if you are a registered nurse in your country, you need to ensure that you qualify to register as a nurse in Australia. The Australian Nursing Council can advise on standards and competencies which must be met before you can register with the relevant state bodies. Visit their website for more information: www.anmc.org.au

Once you have met the criteria you must register with the Nurses and Midwives Board of New South Wales www.nmb.nsw.gov.au you must hold a current NSW Authority to Practice as a Registered or Enrolled Nurse in NSW. Once you have registered in one state it is then easier to register in the other states should you choose to see more of Australia. You can register prior to coming to Australia.
