AHPRA nursing and midwifery registration for internationally qualified nurses in Australia.
Registration and your visa
Professional registration and immigration are separate processes, decided by different authorities. A visa does not give permission to practise a regulated profession, and registration does not give a right to live or work in Australia. Planning both together avoids delays.
Check before you apply. General information only. Requirements can change. The relevant authority makes the final decision. Confirm current requirements with Ahpra and the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
