ANy questions on registrations?

Here's a tip:
If you have your skills assessment done with the ANMC they will pass on your paperwork to the state you want to register with. There is no cost to you and it saves you having to duplicate documents. You then need only fill out the registrations form and send your money.

Hi Ali,
I'm going out on a 457 visa and getting registered with QNMC, they have'nt asked for a skills test, will I still have to have one when I get there, would hate to do all this and then find I fail a test.

I don't think you do one on the 457 - not sure if you do a modified assessment when applying for PR (as you've already been registered in a state). I came on a PR visa so the process was a little different. I'm sure someone whose on a 457 will post the answer

You dont need a skills asessment for a 457 but you do when you apply for PR.

oh c**p I fall to pieces on tests, any idea what is involved. I even forget my own name and how to write, speaking seems to destert me too and i end up jabbering like a chimp.

You don't have to sit a test - you just supply the information to prove you're competent (similar stuff that was required for your registration).

Hi Ali,
I am looking into Mutual Recognition (am registered in WA) I asked for information regarding this from NMBWA and they told me to just look on relevant website for QLD Nursing Board.
NMBWA didn't mention anything about them forwarding original documents. Is it just a case of paying them to send documents?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if each state board will pass on documents to another board, I was referring to the ANMC and the skills assessment, But I would imagine you'll have to pay the NMBWA to verify your licence to practise. I don't know how long the nursing boards hold the evidence for, the ANMC hold it for 2 years (which is when the skills assessment would expire). Once your registered with a nursing board, I don't know if they keep your documents or not.
