Thanks for the info. I’ve been a registered nurse in Australia before but some time back when on a working holiday visa. I’ve contacted APHRA today and I can apply to ‘unfreeze’ my registration so I’m pretty confident that my qualifications will stand. I think I’ll apply for APHRA but maybe after an EOI. It seems that the only advantage of applying earlier at this stage is to reduce my ANMAC assessment from full skills to moderate plus. Although this will cost less the cost of a flight to Aus won’t make it cost effective at this point. Thanks again for the advice. It’s helped me research today.

Hi all, I’m brand new to this page so any advice would be great. I’m sure this has been asked before and apologies for the repeativeness but I’m confused about where to start. We have recently made the decision to try and relocate. We plan to move to WA on a PR visa so are looking at both the 189 & 190 route. We are both in skilled employment and could apply independently, however it will be me as the main applicant. (Slightly higher point score). We are planning on completing the process without an agent and have done some research however I’m not sure about the first step. I’ve read that some nurses apply to ANMAC first to complete the skills assessment while others to APHRA for provisional registration. Is there a benifit to doing one before the other? I have booked to complete the ILETS test as it seems that this is a requirement either way for the visa (also helps with points). I’m also presuming that until you have the go ahead from the skills test you can’t apply for an EOI? Any help and support would be fantastic. At the moment it feels like an overwhelming task!
