Key Highlights
Step : 1
- Self-assessment to check whether a candidate meets the educational, experience, and English language competencies to register as a RN in Australia.
Step : 2
Orientation Part 1 to be completed online by the candidate
Or
- Stream B candidates – Internationally qualified nurses and midwives (IQNMs) who complete the Self-check and are advised to continue as Stream B candidates will need to pay the IQNM assessment fee and complete Orientation Part 1 before completing the Portfolio stage.
- IQNMs with qualifications requiring assessment – IQNMs whose qualification(s) are not
available to select from the drop-down options in Self-check will be advised that Aphra needs to assess their qualification. These IQNMs will need to pay the IQNM assessment fee and complete Orientation Part 1 before completing the Portfolio stage. Ahpra will then assess their qualification.
Once Ahpra has assessed the qualification(s), the candidate will be advised of their next steps to either:
continue in the IQNM assessment process as a Stream A candidate or a Stream B candidate, or
end their participation in the IQNM assessment process and upgrade their qualification if they wish to continue (as per advice provided to IQNMs assigned to Stream C).
Step : 3
The multiple-choice question (MCQ) exam assesses the candidate’s professional knowledge. There are separate exams for internationally qualified nurses and midwives (IQNMs) intending to register in Australia as a registered nurse (RN), enrolled nurse (EN), or midwife:
- The RN MCQ exam is the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) develops and delivers the NCLEX-RN through Pearson VUE test centres in most countries.
- The midwifery MCQ exam is developed by the NMBA in conjunction with the Midwifery Council of New Zealand and delivered through Aspeq test centres in most countries.
Step : 4
OSCE
- The Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) is a clinical exam to assess whether candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills and competence of a graduate-level nurse or midwife from an Australian NMBA-approved program of study.
