To become a registered nurse in Australia from India, begin by securing an Australian-recognised nursing qualification, typically a Bachelor of Nursing. Then, demonstrate English language proficiency through OET or IELTS. After achieving the required scores, apply for a skills assessment with AHPRA. Upon approval, you may need to complete a bridging program to better understand the Australian healthcare context. It is crucial to ensure you have the appropriate visa for living and working in Australia. Following these steps, register with AHPRA as a nurse. Finally, actively seek employment in Australian healthcare settings, where your skills and expertise will be valuable.
