    Yes thats the restriction. Thats how it was explained to me when I enquired at Ahpra. They gave restrictions as the applicant was not general educated, and that this is not an option now. Still a waiting game. I keep getting different explanations! Ahpra still have the explanations of types of notations , mental, health, disability and paediatricts so that is a good sign.

    Ahpra do not qualify nurses into specialties. They can only register nurses as RN RM or EN. If you want accreditation then you have post graduate study and join organisation that accredits you such as this one for mental health nurses http://www.acmhn.org.au or http://www.adea.org.au. Ahpra does not and cannot bestow a specialty. In the past with UK nurses they were given RN status with restriction - no spe ialty status. Now they are working under the new law this will be no longer an option. An applicant either makes the RN grade or not.

    You can gather what papers are required and available to you at this time and have them duly authorised but as for applying for visas and registration with ahpra this you may need to do at the 'end' same as a local. There are plenty of uk nurses over here with both uk and AHPRA rego's "just in case"

    Average assessment time with UK nursing council for overseas applicants 8-10months, just sayin.

    Same as Australian nurse applying in UK, would they have a lookin if not registered ? will have positive assessment/how long.!! far to unpredictable for employer unless you have hard to find specialised experience an employer is finding hard to employ a local.

    All countries assess overseas nurses on the criteria expected of their own nursing education. Up to now Australian nursing board appeared to excepte any curriculum from any school and it also seemed from most countries. In the past few months AHPRA have brought in new criteria which no one seems to know as yet if the specialised courses that the UK nurses are educated will be acceptable as they do not compare to the general criteria of the Australian degree, so no one hss been given positive assessment since against new criteria no one has been rejected from the UK. Many EU nurses have been given negative assessments so far.

    No one has heard as yet from this end...many with whom I work have many friends waiting. Someone on these forums was quick to advise me that her consultant had been advised by AHPRA that nurses from the UK would not be affected and many nurses had been granted their registration since the changes. Strange AHPRA talks to nobody, not even locals to advise them of such information I haveheard second hand, a nurse educated in adult, recently was given the okay that applied in december and was told the other branches are still being kept on hold. Mental health nurses are in demand, unfortunately or fortunately for those who want to emigrate, locals have to pay to become mental health nurses on top of them paying to do their undergraduate general degree, hence the shortage and expense that many are not prepared to do.

    There is absolutely no evidence AHPRA have said diploma specialised nurses from the UK, will be accepted as yet, not those that applications are assessed under the new rules. As for EU nurses education not being accepted go to other forums and the appeals that have been made. The new criteria is based on national law that AHPRA was founded and that states health professionals from overseas are to be assessed on the criteria for those in the profession educated in Australia. What has not helped is the NMC stating Australuan nursing education does not compare to that of the UK because it is not specialised and Australian nurses not being accepted in the UK. Now unfortunately the wait begins.

    Oh yes, they! can do honours in their degrees, and many do. As far as I know AHPRA no longer in their policies claim that diploma nurses from the UK are recognised and under the new criteria, one is supposed to have experience in many nursing settings, as compared to the Australian degree, so the specialisations of the UK nursing degrees really do not cut the mustard if one wants to be real, especially the latest degree as there is no longer a common year in the UK RN qualification. At this time nurses from EU countries are being rejected under the new criteria and they had in the last policy of AHPRA, if they came under the EU directive they would be accepted. It is so stressful that they should change things like this as they may just have a bigger nursing shortage coming due to not recognising the UK nurse.
