According to the information found in this link http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-and-Endorsement/International/Accreditation-requirements-of-the-qualification-assessment-model.aspx under 'Qualifications that are unlikely to meet the accreditation requirements' Malta is one of the listed countries that are unlikely to meet the requirements for criterion 2 and 3. Therefore, since my boyfriends' diploma was obtained from the University of Malta, there is that doubt that it may not meet the requirement for Australian registration.On the other hand the top-up degree he successfully completed was obtained from the University of Derby, UK, which may give some advantage in these circumstances. Maybe anyone knows of a case where at least the top-up degree was from the UK and his diploma is from another unlikely eligible country and managed to get registration without a bridging course?
